3rd Person Cam: The Village
Summary:
Follow an ordinary footman in 3rd person view. Venture into a mysterious accursed village and make use of a unique combat system: use intelligent shortcuts: 'Q'= Strike; 'W'=Parry. It's all about timing!
[NOTE: A 2nd Player is not required to play this]
The combat system:
- When you hit Q the character performs a sword strike damaging any enemy target in front of him.
- When you hit W the soldier raises his shield to block enemy attacks thereby avoiding to be damaged. This move is vital to your survival!
Atmospheric Features:
- 3rd Person Camera all the way!
- when you are hit by an enemy attack (without blocking all the damage with your shield) the borders of the screen will become blood-red and the camera will be somewhat shaky.
- the ambient music changes when you leave one zone and enter another one. I tried to use music that suited the different places in the map (e.g. forest, village etc)
Improving your character:
- Left-click special NPC's to talk to them; a dialogue will then pop up and you have some options like improving your combat skills or buying better armor
Storytelling:
- The world is relatively open and also bigger than you'd expect. While you travel through the map you receive new objectives that lead you into new areas. Along the way new enemys will spawn while other units will change their position.
- You start with a rather simple task and yet your journey through the accursed village will give you entirely new objectives.
- There's quiet a few surprising events during the progress of the story...
