Gamers, prep your combat skills! Achilles: Legends Untold, the action RPG from Dark Point Games, is inching closer to its full release. This mythological Ancient Greece-set epic has upped its game with a host of new features and mechanics.
It Ain’t Button-Mashing: Achilles Wants You Tactical
Here’s the lowdown: Combat is no joke in Achilles. Forget about mindlessly slashing through mobs; that’ll just get you sent to Hades. You’ll need to be tactical, learning your enemies’ attack patterns to effectively counter. Whether it’s status effects like poison and bleeding, or a skeleton ambush, Achilles demands you be on point.
From Undead Knights to Wolves: Meet Your Foes
The game levels up enemy behavior big time. We’re talking archers that actually aim, armored undead that need precise targeting, and wolves employing hit-and-run tactics. Every enemy type has its quirks, pushing you to adapt and improvise.
Minotaur’s Labyrinth: Not Your Average Walk in the Park
One of the main attractions? A boss battle with the legendary Minotaur, guardian of the Labyrinth. Don’t think you can cheese this one; the Minotaur is all about heavy-hitting melee attacks and area-of-effect skills that will test your dodge game. Basically, this boss battle is a thesis test on your combat abilities up to that point.
The Smarter the Enemy, the Tougher the Fight
Achilles ain’t just about a strong player; it’s about smart enemies too. The GAIA system—short for Group Action AI—makes the bad guys team up in ways you can’t easily predict. They’ll even use the environment to their advantage, making fights feel more dynamic and unpredictable.
Exploration: Where Every Turn Could Be Your Last
And let’s not forget about exploration. In Achilles, curiosity might get you a loot drop—or a nasty surprise. A side path might lead you to valuable rewards or a nest of venomous spiders. You’ll even find puzzle-like chests requiring you to find and trigger symbols in the environment. Yep, think Captain America’s shield but in Ancient Greece.
