Sword of the New World: Granado Espada, produced by Hak Kyu Kim known as the 'Creator of RAGNAROK', published by HanbitSoft, is an unique MMORPG containing "multi character control system (MCC)" based on 17th century of Europe.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada offers party play system which brings good old fun of old PC RPGs through 'Multi Character Control (MCC)' and 'NPC Party System'. MCC system, supported by well thought out path-finding and NPC AI enables beginners to control 3 characters at the same time.

Multi character control (MCC)
Players can control up to 3 characters at the same time. This combination of multiple characters is called a ‘Team’ and each ‘Team’ can have unique character from various combinations of different classes. Granado Espada’s unique system of TvT (Team vs Team) provides wider array of strategies than ordinary PvP (Player vs Player) system.

Barrack Mode
You can create upto 12 characters. Combined with MCC system, these characters will belong to your family. For example, if your family name is 'Smith', all of your new characters will have the last name of 'Smith'

Companion system
Apart from user created characters, you can also invite NPCs to your party. NPCs you encounter during your adventure vary in skills, shape and in many different features. They will require special trigger to join your party such as completing a quest or sum of gold.

Stance System
Stance means posture and action for each different weapon school. For instance, you can choose to fire a rifle either rapidly but inaccurately or slowly but more accurately. This stance system will vary for each weapon school thus players will have many strategic choices for each combat situation.

Class Overview - Elementalist
The Elementalist draws from three natural elements: fire, ice and lightning. There are also three tiers of stances, each tier more powerful than the previous one: the first level is possession; the second level is evocation; and the third level is domination. Additionally, there is a Lord stance where all three elements are combined, and this class also offers elemental resistance buffs.

Class Overview - Musketeer
The Musketeer is one of the most imposing character classes in Sword of the New World. This character class is a top-tier damage dealer, and primarily relies on pistols and rifles; however, this class can also use bare fists, smash enemies with rifle stocks, fire poisonous bullets, slash and stab with a bayonet, and even fire a blinding AOE debuff.
