Gameplay Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning is a single player Action RPG that blends a new approach tocharacter development with intuitive, yet challenging real-time combat.Characters enter the game as something of a blank slate after they areresurrected from death by the mysterious “Well of Souls” following a grand in-game conflict. Spurning the rigid character class systems commonly used inRPGs for the development of characters, the game instead focuses on player-shaped “destines” which hinge on the chosen combinations of abilities andequipped items and weapons attached to their character as the game progresses.With no traditional classes these are blended as the play wishes. This alongwith a large item inventory limit and a robust crafting system for creatingnew items, allows for a nearly limitless number of possible character paths,or destinies. Active combat plays a major role in the game as players explorethe Open World environment of the game on quests that bring them into contactwith all manner of creatures. Regardless of character paths, all charactershave access to primary and secondary weapons as well as magic. Unique attacksare tied to your choice of weapons, armor and strategies. The game alsofeatures powerful slow-motion attack opportunities called “Fateshift Kills”triggered by specific situations and/or equipped items. These devastatingattacks are measured out as players time moves to a separate “Fate Energy”power meter. Additional features include unscripted real-time battles againstlarge-scale enemies, melee and ranged weapons and enemy tagging abilities forranged or delayed attacks. Additional Screenshots
