Yo, gamers! Hold on to your controllers because the peeps at Dark Point Games are making it rain with one final preview of Achilles: Legends Untold before it officially drops. This action RPG is packing a souls-like combat system and a world as vast as ancient Greece. A sneak peek gameplay video dropped, laced with developer commentary, highlighting the challenges Achilles will face.
The Battlefield and The Beasts
The devs weren’t shy about showcasing the setting, the mechanics, and the enemies, both human and beastly. Expect over 20 hours of mad adventuring where your fighting style is pretty much whatever you make it. You can grind through a skill tree unlocking abilities that could be your golden ticket to the next shrine. We’re talking weapon variety here; one-handed swords, two-handed swords, and even poisoned spears. Take your pick, gear up, and slay!
Loot, But At Your Own Risk
Exploring the open world of Greece ain’t just a sightseeing trip. There are treasures to be scored, but don’t get too greedy. Stumble into the wrong territory and you could find yourself respawning before you can say “Zeus.” No worries though. A setback is a setup for a comeback. Tweak your skills, switch up your tactics, and charge back into the fray.
Rewrite The Myth
As Achilles, you’re not just some random foot soldier; you’re the commander of the Myrmidons and a Greek legend. After the Trojan War, it’s homecoming time, but Greece is a hot mess. Your job? To navigate through the wilds of ancient Mycenae and save the mortal realm from a fate worse than Hades. Come November 2, the full tale, packed with quests and a New Game+ mode, goes live.
Game Mechanics on Point
Don’t sleep on the proprietary GAIA (Group AI Action) system. This bad boy governs how the AI interacts within the game environment, making each enemy unique in their combat approach.
