So much hype and promises, but all I'm seeing an average hack and slash. Maybe the combat might be a little deeper but RPG elements are looking skin deep.

It's a full blown RPG with action and fighting with quality high production value gameplay mechanics. The art and graphics are awesome. It's not hyped in the way ps3 fanboys use the term, people at e3 seen it and are excited. Gamers have been craving a true RPG and we have always wished combat was deeper than turnbase and better then the real time canned animation fighting where you fight in real time yet it has no complexity.

This video does not do the game justice the graphics are 70 percent bette. This game has vibrant art like no other game has.

It's a five minute demo. There's only so much they can show.

Watch the 45 minute E3 demo if you want to see the RPG elements. It'll quickly become clear why they're calling it a hardcore RPG rather than a action RPG.

Here, I'll even link you to it:

About time they show more. Its looking like Two Worlds 2 with better combat.

Pintheshadows4703d ago

You've never played Two Worlds have you? It looks nothing like this so stop needlessly trolling and go do something productive.

Awesome, looking forward to more information in the future.

Looking Back at Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning

Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.

Best action rpg of its generation. Loved it.

Soulst0rmer2358d ago

This deserves to be on Switch

execution172358d ago

Loved the world and combat, just horrible timing for the release tho :/

Matrix62358d ago

This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!

I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!

Phoenix Down 49.2 – Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

The journey comes to an end.

InMyOpinion2896d ago

Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.

Hypnotic2896d ago

Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.

InMyOpinion2894d ago

Never say never, Darksiders 2 got a remaster.

phantomexe2896d ago

I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.

rezzah2896d ago

Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.

hazelamy2895d ago

such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
