Accompanying Game Ogre's review of RoE is an interview with CyberWarrior:Also, with our current combat movement system there are certain strategies, such as "tanking", where melee fighters use their high hit points and body armor to take physical damage from enemies, thus protecting the spell casting group members. We plan to keep this strategy with the real-time movement system, allowing players to "plant" themselves in a stationary position, to still block enemies from passing through them to protected allies in the rear of the battle. We feel these items, along with a few other surprises will keep our combat system unique, but retain the familiarity and freedom our players’ desire. |
