Aether Gazer - What's in the new update 'Shadow Under Convallaria'?
Now, if any of you have read my Quick Review, you'd know that I'm new to Aether Gazer. That said, I've hit the ground running as best as I could, just so I could give an in-depth look at the newest update, to see what it brings to the table and to find out just how accessible it is to newcomers. So, first things first- it does take a little bit of work to actually get a gander at what's being offered. Initially, this amounts to the new flagship character for the current chapter, Hades- who has a delightfully gothic design, and a fairly unique means of attacking, given that she wields puppets and threads against enemies- providing a lot of zoning, without sacrificing much in the way of offensive power. Secondly, there's Oneiroi - who is essentially a supporting character with some fairly interesting skills under her belt (and a unique team-up attack with Hades). Mind you, I didn't manage to successfully roll for either of these characters despite my best efforts, but well - this event provides some fairly decent avenues for experimentation, despite that. That said, I should mention that before you can get into the meat of what it has to offer, you are going to have a fair bit of legwork on your agenda to get your profile up to snuff to enjoy it all. Specifically, you'll need to reach account level 30, in order to gain access to Shadow Under Convallaria. Admittedly, this will only take a day or two of dedicated playing- and I was only halfway through chapter 5 before I gained access. So, realistically, this shouldn't be a major hurdle for most players - and if anything, it will provide an adequate amount of time to ensure that you'll be strong enough to enjoy the current content.
