experience, including books, toys, comics, and a planned MMORPG (Massively
Multiplayer Online RPG) video game yet be announced. An all-new Action RPG
adventure and universe. View larger. GameplayKingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is
a single player Action RPG that blends a new approach to character development
with intuitive, yet challenging real-time combat. Characters enter the game as
something of a blank slate after they are resurrected from death by the
mysterious “Well of Souls” following a grand in-game conflict. Spurning the
rigid character class systems commonly used in RPGs for the development of
characters, the game instead focuses on player-shaped “destines” which hinge
on the chosen combinations of abilities and equipped items and weapons
attached to their character as the game progresses. With no traditional
classes these are blended as the play wishes. This along with a large item
inventory limit and a robust crafting system for creating new items, allows
for a nearly limitless number of possible character paths, or destinies.
Active combat plays a major role in the game as players explore the Open World
environment of the game on quests that bring them into contact with all manner
of creatures. Regardless of character paths, all characters have access to
primary and secondary weapons as well as magic. Unique attacks are tied to
your choice of weapons, armor and strategies. The game also features powerful
slow-motion attack opportunities called “Fateshift Kills” triggered by
specific situations and/or equipped items. These devastating attacks are
measured out as players time moves to a separate “Fate Energy” power meter.
Additional features include unscripted real-time battles against large-scale
enemies, melee and ranged weapons and enemy tagging abilities for ranged or
delayed attacks. Additional Screenshots
