In the year 2060, China is the world’s most powerful nation with the most advanced technology. Looking back upon China’s history, Chinese scientists feel tormented by the tragedies and the national treasures lost during the Opium Wars 200 years ago. In order to recover the national treasures, 14 young and talented specialists dedicate the next 10 years to developing a time machine capable of going back in time. When the invention is completed, the specialists step in and travel back to the year 1855, in between the first and second Opium Wars. Due to the Qing Dynasty’s weakness and corruption, China was in disarray with no central leadership at the time. On the brink of another invasion by the Western Powers, the 14 specialists and the futuristic weapons they brought back from 2060 are the only things that can change the course of history.
MMORPG with a Modern Military Theme
Giant Online is a traditionally intense and engaging MMORPG. Fierce battles will be fought over land, sea and air. Weapons range from small-scale items such as pistols, to tanks, aircraft carriers, and even nuclear bombs. We have pushed our proprietary server technology to the next level, allowing 1 million gamers to play simultaneously in the same shard. Players will be involved in some of the biggest and most spectacular battles in online gaming.
3D Graphics with Intuitive Controls
Giant Online uses advanced 3D rendering technology for both foreground characters and background scenery, producing a vivid and beautiful presentation. Unlike the traditional 3D games which require advanced controls and awkward perspectives, causing players to under-go a steep learning curve, Giant Online uses a fixed camera angle. Although this solution qualifies the game as 2.5D, it allows for much more intuitive controls using the WASD keys, directional arrow keys, and keyboard shortcuts. As a result, players will be able to dive right into Giant Online without any difficulties or any worries to the constantly shifting camera angles.
14 Different Roles to Select
Giant Online allows players to assume one of 14 innovative roles, including Assault Troops, Snipers, Bomb Experts, Doctors, Engineers, Spies, Musicians, and Dancers. Unlike many MMORPGs, players are not limited to only one role and upgrade path from the very beginning of the game. Players can choose different weapons that are applicable to multiple roles, allowing different experiences for every gamer and unique capabilities for every gamer’s character.
Intense MMORPG with Casual Game Elements
Besides the usual quests and battles found in MMORPGs, players will also experience tons of new leisure activities and mini-games. Dancing, swimming, fishing, puzzles, custom virtual item design and production, and virtual pet training are just some of the new and unique forms of entertainment. There’s something for everyone in Giant Online!
