CoA: Crystals of Atlan - A Mobile Action RPG That Redefines the Genre
Hello,
I'm Park Han-ryang, an influencer.
On May 28, 2025, an experience, not just a game, landed in our hands: 'CoA: Crystals of Atlan,' an MMO action RPG developed by Nuverse and published by ByteDance. Even before its release, it garnered attention with over 10 million pre-registrations. Now, it's remembered as a real game that lives up to the hype. When I first launched this game, I expected just another run-of-the-mill RPG. But after just 10 minutes, no, immediately after the tutorial, I was convinced. This is different. Or rather, the way it feels in your fingertips is different. I became so captivated while playing that I even felt the desire to level up and I think I will look for Crystals of Atlan everyday.
Choose from 5 Classes, 11 Job Changes
Create Your Own Skill Combos
At the start of the game, you choose one of five classes: Swordsman, Gunner, Mage, Puppeteer, or Fighter. Upon reaching level 15, each class can experience a new combat style through its unique job change routes. The job changes are structured as follows:
Swordsmen can become Magic Swordsmen or Berserkers. Gunners can become Bounty Hunters or Cannon Shooters. Mages can become Elementalists, Warlocks, or Magicians. Puppeteers can become Guard Rippers or Blades, and Fighters can become Strikers or Masters. You can freely change jobs until level 45, which makes it fun to find the class that suits you best by trying out various combat styles.
Thrilling and Perfect Aerial Action at Your Fingertips
I tried almost every class over the weekend. The 'Master' class of the Fighter lineage, which I chose first, had a very impressive sense of impact with each heavy blow. The powerful skills created a satisfying combat rhythm, showcasing the essence of close-quarters action. Switching to the Gunner lineage offered a completely different feel. The Bounty Hunter excels in agile movement and skills to restrain enemies, while the Cannon Shooter is slow but has a heavy charm that spews out wide-area damage with powerful cannons.
Farm Rare Equipment That Anyone Can Challenge
Enjoy Raids With Other Users
The Mage class was also interesting. The Elementalist controls the battlefield with stable range magic, while the Warlock specializes in maximizing burst damage based on dark attributes. The Magician is a tricky character that requires quick combos and control, and its true value is revealed with higher proficiency. The two job changes in the Puppeteer class are also exciting. The Guard Ripper specializes in defense and support, making it useful in raids, and the Blade is perfect for enjoying thrilling battles with its fast speed and evasion-focused style.
I felt that the ability to play so many different combat styles in a short period of time was a real strength of this game. The free job change system made it easy to explore which style suits you best, and I was able to personally feel why this game is evaluated as an action RPG focused on 'hand feel' while experiencing various control sensations.
In the process of growing your character, you can use skill points to learn new skills or strengthen existing skills, and it is particularly impressive that there is no skill tree defined as a single route. Players can create attack-type, survival-type, or combo-centered combo lines according to their preferences, and it is fun to create their own skill combinations through experimentation. Most PvE content is relatively easy, making it a pleasure to develop various jobs without burden. And if you find the character that suits you best, challenging the PvP content to make your name known will be another challenging goal.

The PvP content of 'Crystals of Atlan' provides a depth that goes beyond simple one-on-one battles. The rank battle system is particularly noteworthy. Rank battles are competitive content where you can compete with users with similar combat power, and real-time matches are the key. Practical skills such as map control, timing, and skill combo ability directly affect the ranking, not just equipment specs. It seems that if you develop various characters like me, you can have more ability and fun to grasp the opponent.
Fair Skill Competition That Makes Your Hands Sweat
Skill-Based PvP Combat
A key feature is that three-dimensional combat using the Z-axis shines even more in PvP. The control battle to respond to the opponent's jump, evasion, and combo timing can be called a war of the fingertips. Because each character has different skill judgment and range, there are many users who specialize in nurturing characters specialized in PvP and focusing only on rank battles. As your skills accumulate, your rank increases, and as your rank increases, you compete with stronger users. The structure in which tactics and understanding of characters accumulate while repeating wins and losses is the greatest virtue of this game's PvP content.
CoA: Crystals of Atlan is not just a well-made new RPG. This game breaks the repetitive and flat battle frame that existing mobile RPGs have provided, and adds a new axis called the Z-axis to provide a completely different dimension of battle experience. The exhilaration of combat using the air, the clear style differences between jobs, and the free job change and customization system create completely different combat narratives for each player.

Each class requires a completely different hand feel and control sensation, and the battle is not a repetition of simple clicks, but requires tension and concentration at your fingertips, so if you want to feel less tired and feel the taste of your hands, connect quickly.
