At the eFocus Party Tuesday evening at E3, we were able to sit with Barry Hoffman from Chronicles of Spellborn. Despite having loads of people at the booth, Barry was able to give us a quick look at the game and allowed me to create a character and run around in the arena. Spellborn is shaping up as one of the more solid games coming out of Europe this year. It was set for release in April, but was pushed back to revamp the combat system. The changes we saw tonight look to be bringing the game play and fighting to a higher level.

I got the chance to go through the character creation screen and see all the options. The great side of the game is that players can choose their look and armor up front. There are a lot of options for clothing and armor to customize things right off the bat. Loot does not have an impact on how your character fights. It is all based on your skills and play style.

The artist who designed the game’s look has done a great job giving a strong and sleek look.
