GameSpy offers up its own preview of Wolfpack Studios' upcoming MMORPG Shadowbane. Here is a bit from the introduction:
What looks to set Shadowbane apart from the competition is that it combines role-playing with strategic elements. Not only are you leveling up your character and learning new spells and abilities, every decision you make will affect the history, politics, and landscape of the game.
"Shadowbane is a little of both types of games," explains Sean Dahlberg, spokesperson for Wolfpack Studios. "We've taken elements from both genres and mixed them together to make something a little different. Players have the option to build and siege cities, use tactical information and own territory like in any RTS, but players can still quest, adventure, collect treasure, and act as a diplomat with any RPG. Basically, we've expanded the concept of what a MMORPG is. |
