Story

The world of the game Blood and Soul consists of three dimensions - Heaven, Hell and Earth. All dimensions existed independently of each other until the hellish monsters created a passage between Hell and Heaven. The war began, as a result of which the hellish creatures were expelled, and the warriors of Heaven won. However, the monsters did not want to put up with the situation and penetrated into neutral territory - the Earth, whose inhabitants were absolutely not ready for battle, now their fate depends on the help of heavenly creatures. One such creature is a player character.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Blood and Soul is identical to most eastern free-to-play games. Character development occurs by completing tasks, completing dungeons and killing monsters. The player can choose the class of his character only at the 20th level, and the extended class is available to the character only from the 60th level.

World

The world of Blood and Soul is divided into many interconnected locations , the so-called instance zones. In one location there can be an unlimited number of players. PvP mode is enabled on high-level zones, which allows players to freely fight with each other. Zones of low-level characters are called "safe", since they exclude the possibility of players attacking each other.

PvP

Starting at level 30, all players can attack each other. It is also possible to enable PvP mode at level 20 if the character voluntarily abandons the “divine protection”

Management

Blood and Soul uses a target system, that is, target allocation for a targeted attack. The character is moved using the keyboard or mouse in point and click mode. Support for other game controllers is not provided.

Wedding

Male and female characters can enter into a marriage. To do this, they must be at least level 50 and be in the same family. You also need to complete a special task to obtain the item "Cupid's arrow".
