One of the best publishers in the videogame scene is presented in Cologne with one of the most interesting and anticipated titles of the last few months, we are talking about Focus Home Interactive and its mammoth Greedfall: the developers of Spiders Studio presented an exclusive demo of the game during Gamescom 2019 and we at Epictrick.com were able to take a closer look at it. Inside the demo it was possible to appreciate and test some scenes of the multimedia work which, according to the developers, is practically finished: during the presentation, the developer wanted to clarify immediately that the title was running on a very powerful PC with the 'RTX active e that the graphics on the console would have been vastly different than what was presented.
The one-hour build reveals some game mechanics and unpublished scenes dedicated to the plot: initially we were able to "taste" the editor of our character and, to be honest, it seemed quite detailed and totally customizable.
According to what was declared, Greedfall will be set in an unexplored and still uncontaminated land, where nature and man have not yet had the opportunity to meet.: things in this vast land will change when man decides to seize it by enslaving the inhabitants of the area and destroying all the nature that surrounds it. Things will change when nature, fortunately, begins to rebel against the cruelty of man and his actions: magical creatures, spells and unknown tribes will be the main pivots that revolve around the deep and mysterious narrative that lies within interior of this Greedfall.
The first impressions seemed to us quite positive even if it will take several hours of play to fully discover the dynamics that lie within the island in question. One of the most interesting features that we were able to appreciate during the demo shown us it is certainly that of being able to use dialogue to persuade enemies or conquer them with diplomacyBut that's not all: during our adventure it will be possible to bring allies with us who will open up "new paths" with the other tribes present on the island.
According to what has been said, the between the player and his companions will be fundamental for the "quiet life": if for example one of our companions does not agree on the choices made during the game plot, the latter will go away, leaving the group; while he will consider us "trustworthy" if we perform some task for him or if we listen to his requests.
This complicated system of interactions, said by the developer, will be multifaceted and full of revelations and it will be up to us to choose the best options. Making hasty decisions will not be the right choice in this title, violence will not be the only means of communication.
The fights within GreedFall are completely frenetic, fun and decidedly sophisticated: there are not only dodges or quick attacks, the combat system of this magnificent title leads us to think, to study the enemy and to trace the entire playing area . As just mentioned, the aforementioned elements will not be the only ones available, but we will have the opportunity to learn completely new and varied skills; the way to approach the fighting will totally change!
Once specific branches have been unlocked, we will have the possibility of using different ranged weapons: by unlocking magic for example, we will have greater firepower at a distance, while if we unlock the traps it will be essential to carefully study the battlefield and choose a more tactical than direct approach.
You can admire in the video some small Stealth sequences during some crucial moments, this mode will often help us to escape from enemies of a much higher level than ours and it will not be brilliant to face them "head on", but we will need to return once we reach the recommended level. We also took a closer look at the game world which, to be honest, seemed to us quite rich and well characterized.
The setting of Greedfall is as rare as it is wonderful, we will happen to observe the streets of the metropolis fascinated by the details and the seventeenth-century clothing worn by the inhabitants of these new cities. Obviously the cities will be many and it takes over 40 hours to complete the main story, excluding the side quests!
The demo ends with a boss fight against a monstrous creature that, fortunately, is faced with two other teammates: there are many ways to face the various boss fights and it will be necessary to "study" the enemy to understand the best way to bring down these beautiful and intelligent creatures.
Although Greedfall is not the most accurate and detailed title in the gaming scene, we are impressed by the work done by the guys at Spiders Studio and we strongly believe in this project which has all the bases to become part of the Hall of Fame of today's masterpieces.
We remind you, for those who missed it, that Greedfall will be available starting next September 10th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC for the modest sum of 59,99 euros! What do you think about it?
