![]() Of course, I also had a healer in my party whose specialty was curing disease, so I didn’t really need to worry about it much. Knowing this going in, I could have simply mapped the Antidote to the d-pad to use it quickly, but the tactical pause menu was fine to use in its place. I also fought one of those magical tree-like beasts known as a Guardian, and it constantly unleashed poison on me. To add even more variety, I could also lay down traps and fire guns, and you can become more proficient with all of these items as you progress as you choose.Most enemies also have their own strengths or weaknesses against certain types of damage, requiring you to focus on different attack patterns depending on the enemy. Magic, like in most games, uses MP, but switching to the sword to compensate when I ran out could be done freely, was just as powerful, and didn’t feel cumbersome at all. You can finally make that beefy, armor-clad two-handed sword user who is also good at something like potion-making like you’ve always wanted.ĭuring my demo, I wielded a mainly magic-using character, with the ability to perform a second, fast dodge and a flaming one-handed sword. Plus, active skills (Skills), passive skills (Attributes), and Talents (like Craftmanship, which lets you craft basic armor and weapons), all use entirely different resources to purchase, which would allow you to mix and match to your heart’s content. Your starting class doesn’t dictate what you become, just your starting active skills, like Stasis (which enables you to temporarily immobilize an enemy) with the Magic class, Set an Elemental Trap with the Technical class. This feeling is reinforced by the incredible amount of freedom you have with customizing your character. To put it bluntly, combat in GreedFall simply felt fun, and I don’t see it becoming a chore like in some RPGs I’ve played. Controls are responsive and fast, attacks feel weighty, dodges and parries carried out as I felt they should. It’s easy for a deep combat system with so much freedom and so many options to end up feeling bogged down to me, but GreedFall’s combat felt polished, intuitive, and facilitating. ![]() ![]() With all of this in mind, GreedFall has plenty of narrative and dialogue to observe, things to collect, and places to explore, but I was especially interested in how the combat felt. Weapons include traps and guns (think old-school pistols) that can be wielded simultaneously with your main means of attacking, whether it’s magic or melee, which can be swapped at will without penalty Spiders says there are deep character interactionsĬharacters have multiple, flexible skill trees that don’t pigeonhole you into one archetype There are multiple party members to recruit It's visually inspired by Baroque art from 17th-century Europe The historical fantasy is heavily inspired by journals from explorers and scholars It's a “Core RPG," as described by developer Spiders
