While we've talked about the upcoming turn-based strategy MMO Atlantica before, we haven't been able to see what actual gameplay looks like until now. The good folks at NDOORS have provided a 30-second gameplay trailer, and it looks right in line with what you'd hope for in a title like this.

We'll bring you as much coverage as possible as the game nears its closed beta in July, and we'll be on the front lines at launch. Just pray that we'll have enough mana to cast that final First Impressions spell, or the human race is doomed! Check out the Gallery for screens of the game, and the gameplay video after the jump.

Uh, even Square didn't do it like this when they did Final Fantasy XI online. I'm not entirely sure the world is ready for a game like this. What happens when someone in your party goes AFK just as you start a battle? Does the battle go on without him? Is there some kind of time limit to act on the player phase? If not, things will go nowhere fast.

Pretty, but I don't think this is what MMORPGs are meant to do.

The gameplay looks good to me, but the scenes running through the world look like they may be too hardware intensive, similar to Vanguard. One big reason 10 million people play WoW is because it doesnt tax their systems. Take the hint.

But if the sys requirements turn out reasonable I'll defiantly give it a shot. I prefer the turn based style over bunny-hopping. Stand and fight and let strategy work it out over reflexes.
