Warriors Of Might And Magic

Description

PlayStation 2 action / adventure Fantasy Video Game Warriors of Might & magicAmazon.com During an inquisition, the innocent Alleron is condemned to the Pit of the Accused, a living hell from which he must battle hoards of malevolent creatures and solve the dungeon's tricky puzzles if he is to survive. Players will battle 30 character classes through Warriors of Might and Magic's nine worlds, aided by dozens of weapons, armor pieces, and spells. Product description Warriors of Might and Magic returns us to Enroth (last visited in the lackluster Crusaders of Might and Magic for the PlayStation console), and gives us a world filled to the brim with deadly dungeons populated by foul creatures. You portray Alleron, a warrior accused of the crime of necromancy who's forced to wear a hideous mask that stays in place by digging its talons into your face (shudder). Then, to add insult to injury, you are flung into the Pit of the Accursed and must fight your way out to break the curse and remove the mask. Review Looking to strengthen its already robust initial PS2 offering, publisher and developer 3DO Company is busy cooking up Warriors of Might and Magic, a third-person adventure that's similar to its earlier Crusaders of Might and Magic. Set in the classic world of Might and Magic, Warriors puts you in the role of Alleron, a tragic-enough hero, on a mission to set right a number of travesties that were falsely committed in his name. Much is amiss in the land of Ardon: Draconian laws and necromancy, among other godless acts, are the order of the day, of which Alleron wants no part. What's more, an ancient, evil god - a dark deity whom Alleron has made it his business to vanquish - has been stirring anxiously, as of late, eager to walk again, and feast upon the souls of men The game's narrative will be conveyed through a blend of FMV (judiciously sprinkled, one can hope), in-game dialogue, and scripted scenes, which will utilize the game's engine. According to 3DO, Warriors of Might and Magic will not only feature a number of great details that are geared toward immersing you into Alleron's world, but it will also offer you many opportunities for rich gameplay. Of foremost concern, doubtlessly, are the game's combat systems. Admittedly influenced by a tradition of fighting games, 3DO hopes that WoM&M's deep system will mimic the depth and style of the games by which it has been inspired. Alleron has three basic attacks: a jab, a swing, and a lunge, all of which can be segued into various combos. In the form of specials, there are a shield-check and a jump-attack. The shield-check can sometimes penetrate enemy blocks, while the jump-attack is verily unblockable. Alleron will do battle with a host of undesirables, including hellhounds, ghouls, and orcs, in addition to more familiar foes, such as assassins, evil magi, and unholy cultists. The combat system also allows for defensive tactics. Alleron can block attacks 90 degrees in front of him. An enemy whose attack is blocked will be momentarily stunned, which will allow Alleron a quick counter-attack. Alleron can also move while maintaining a block, but his movement rate will be thusly diminished. Also at Alleron's disposal are dodges, ranging from hops and flips, to rolls. These dodges must be timed correctly, lest they fail. Though, when successful, they allow for swifter counter-attacks. As the conventions of the genre dictate, magic will play a major role in Warriors of Might and Magic. 3DO promises graphically spectacular magical effects throughout the game. From Alleron's personal repertoire of spells to environmental objects imbued with magical effects, WoM&M is reported to be replete with all things mystical, though don't expect any handy healing spells: Says 3DO, "A healing spell would be used constantly and would rapidly become trite, so healing occurs by drinking potions and through the aid of benevolent NPCs." In truth, 3DO has much to say about WoM&M's graphical capabilities. While we don't intend to bore you with tech
