GameZone has been taken on a tour of City of Heroes by Cryptic's Micael Lewis:Michael Lewis, of Cryptic, took GameZone on a guided tour of the title, revealing hazard zones and some of the upper level mobs, and generally giving an overview of the title. This is a world that is rich in content, and in storyline. It all begins with the origin of the character. There are five origins for each character – magic, natural, mutation, technology and science. These define the core class of the character. The archetype further defines the character and power set each player can open. Again, there are five archetypes – blaster, controller, defender, tanker, and scrapper. Some of the archetypes are ranged, some are heavy on the heals and some – like the tanker – are offensive juggernauts. |
