To ensure family- and child-friendly content, AsiaSoft will have Game Masters

interactions. These measures taken by the publisher assure young Grand Chase
gamers of a protected and controlled online environment in which to enjoy the
game and to form meaningful friendships.

action gameplay," added Ivan. "While players have strong in-game content to

which has been overthrown into bloodshed and chaos by KazeAaze, the Queen of
Darkness. Players are instantly recruited to join the Grand Chase towards
freedom and victory as elite heroes, including the brave knight Elesis, the
powerful mage Arme, and the elegant archer Lire!
A party platter of game modes, Grand Chase also features Player versus
Monster (PvM) battles, Player versus Player (PvP) death matches, challenging
quests and light-hearted mini games. The game#DY#s real-time attacks and combo
skill executions will stir fans of old school arcade games, while its endearing
avatar designs and customizations will thrill anime lovers and young gamers.
