Technical Requirements of Hytale
Minimum: Win 10/11, i5-7500/Ryzen 3 1200, GTX 960/Radeon 400, 8GB RAM. Recommended: i5-10400/Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060/RX 580, and an SSD is highly recommended.
Characters, World & Combat of Hytale
Hytale's adventure mode narrative centers on the struggle between light and void. The main protagonist is **Tessa**, a young Avatar linked to the goddess Gaia. Her key ally is **Kyros**, a legendary warrior. The main antagonist is **Varyn**, a cosmic Void entity seeking to corrupt the planet Orbis. Additionally, complex NPC factions exist, such as the Kweebecs, Trorks, and Ferans, each with their own lore.
The world of Orbis is divided into large climatic zones, each featuring multiple unique biomes. The four main revealed zones are: **Zone 1 (Emerald Grove)**, lush forests and rivers; **Zone 2 (Howling Sands)**, vast deserts and canyons; **Zone 3 (Borea)**, icy tundras and snowy mountains; and **Zone 4 (Devastated Lands)**, volcanic underground lands ravaged by fire. Players will also be able to travel to other planets known as "Alterverses."
Hytale offers a deep combat system with a wide variety of weapons that players can craft and upgrade. This includes melee weapons (one and two-handed swords, axes, maces, daggers), ranged weapons (bows, crossbows, throwing weapons), and shields. Equipment features distinct rarity tiers and materials, ranging from iron and steel to fantasy metals like Thorium.
Magic in Hytale is not class-dependent but relies on equipped items. Players can use **staves, wands, and grimories** to cast spells that consume mana. The elemental system is key, featuring different magic types such as Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Lightning, and the opposing forces of Light (Gaia) and Void. Certain armors and weapons can be imbued with these elements for additional effects.
The Hytale Server: TessaWorld
TessaWorld defines itself as a haven for lovers of immersive **Roleplay (RP) and Cooperative PvE**. It's not just about surviving; it's about living the story of Tessa's Resistance. We offer a player-managed economy, construction of settlements protected against Varyn's forces, a deep guild system, and weekly narrative events that expand official Orbis lore through exclusive mods and custom zones limited to our community.
The fundamental step is to integrate into our **Discord** community (button available on this site). To guarantee a healthy, mature, and roleplay-focused gaming environment, we will use a "Whitelist" access system or application form. We recommend participating actively in Discord to secure your spot as a founder before the official opening.
The Resistance needs heroes of all kinds! If you wish to financially support server costs, we will soon enable donation options and cosmetic perks in the "Server" section. If you prefer to contribute your talent, check the **"Join Us"** section on our website. We are always looking for builders, lore writers, moderators, and developers passionate about Hytale who want to build this world with us.
