Florida Gaming Network interviewed a developer from Freeform Interactive about their RPG/FPS hybrid. Here is a snip about the RPG part of Purge:
Because Purge is a FPS/RPG hybrid, we developed a new RPG core system called the DETAILS system. In Purge, unlike most other RPGs, the computer does not do the work for you. You cannot simply click "attack" and let some random roll of the dice decide if you hit or dodge. You might as well watch TV or make sandwich while you fight. DETAILS are unique for RPGs because it is an attribute system which will assist you, make your task easier, but the final results are still your doing. DETAILS stands for the 7 attributes in Purge: Dexterity, Energy, Tenacity, Agility, Intelligence, Life, and Strength. There is an new FAQ coming out that will explain DETAILS in elaborate detail. |
