Metal Black: Alternative (MBA) is an action shooter RPG. This year, NCsoft released a brand new promotional trailer for this game at G-Star 2010. Apart from providing action role playing fun, MBA adopts Shoot & Bomb actions instead of Hack & Slash gameplay and offers a unique APU system.
MBA is set on the futuristic sci-fi earth where players fight against each other for resources and energy. At the beginning of the game, players can choose to be a striker, an inspector or a machinist, and then communicate with other players or NPCs after entering the game hall Outpost Base. Moreover, they are able to enhance weapons, change equipment and team up to start doing quests given by NPCs at the Base.
MBA is a fast-paced game, in which a fight can be finished in 15-20 min. MBA takes players 1-2 hours to enjoy the game every day. The game mode can be simply classified into PVP and PVE. In the PVE mode, it is best for players to form a team with 3-4 members, while the PVP mode offers 8-player combats and RVR battles for guilds. The ultimate goal of both PVP and PVE is to grab more resources necessary for human survival.
MBA has created a more energetic and offensive Armed Personal Unit (APU). They considered various vehicles like motorbikes and aircrafts to present the ultimate personal unit at first, but finally decided to use robot mounts which could improve movement speed as well as attack power. APU is an extremely powerful ultimate weapon bearing deadly attack like bombs. APU will be customized, so that players can make their unique APU.
MBA business model is not clear yet, but some items are needed to resurrect characters, which gives players some space for imagination.
