The Aion game is developed by Zynga Inc., a leading digital entertainment company, based in New York City. A very short game with about 200 levels, Aion has attracted an enthusiastic fan base worldwide. Aion is the third in the series and is set after the release of the original Age of Conan, which was released on the Nintendo GameCube and later on Xbox Live Arcade. Aion is more of a hybrid between action and RPG that combines elements from both genres, but with a different focus. Players choose from several classes, each of which can be customized according to their own specifications. These classes include warrior, priest, thief, mage and engineer, and each has its own special abilities that help to make them unique from the rest.
The game's storyline centers around a God, the God of War who seeks to unite the whole world under his control. After he discovers the existence of powerful beings called Aion, he sets out to gather them, train them to be more powerful than they are already. Aion, or Aionism, is also a term used to refer to the game. This is because, in a sense, the whole game revolves around the God of War himself, who is commonly referred to by this name. The world of Aion is filled with mystical energies and powers that give rise to the concept of "Aion," which refers to the ultimate power of the universe. Aion can be considered a spiritual game as well, as players delve into a fantasy world in search of God's strength and power. Aion's storyline focuses on how the player will save his soul from the wrath of the God of War, so he can continue his journey and fight for peace in the universe.
There are a number of other features that the player can choose to play with. One of these options is the use of "cards." These cards are very similar to the cards in the previous Age of Conan games and allow players to battle other players online or offline. There are also "gods," a class of character that the player can choose to join and customize in any way they see fit. and can earn in-game rewards that can be used to buy better weapons, potions, armor and other items.
