RPGFan has posted a preview of JoWood's and Arkane Studios' dungeon crawl Arx Fatalis, which will be released in the US & the UK early next week. Here's a little bit of the preview:At first glance, Arx Fatalis looks like to be the typical 1st person dungeon hack n’ slash ala Hexen II, however there is a significant amount of depth to the game. As a single-player adventure, Arx Fatalis features respectable character customization as the hero can improve 4 basic attributes, influencing 16 skills. Players will also be treated to a veritable horde of equipment, items and spells along the way. Players will be able to strike with a variety of weapons from bone to broadsword. During the adventure, there will be many puzzles and secrets to be solved as you race to stop Akbaa’s resurrection. In a refreshing move similar to Bethesda’s Morrowind, puzzles and quests can be solved in a variety of ways. Players may solve a puzzle or complete a quest for an NPC for a reward, or they can chose to steal the prize from their patron. Arkane Studios magnanimously allows the player to be a valiant or a ne’er-do-well. |
