But overall, it's a satisfying and adaptable system. Boss battles can feel a little repetitive, thanks to huge armor ratings and high health pools. I built up De Sardet as a sort of dexterous swordsman/gunfighter, so I might target an enemy from afar, use a pistol to break down its armor, dodge behind it, thrust at it with an alchemical rapier and let my party members finish it off with some magic missiles.Ĭombat difficulty can be a little unpredictable - random groups of enemies could be cakewalks, or they could surround you and take you down in a handful of hits. Since you'll also have two additional party members at your disposal, things can get chaotic pretty quickly. You can also get knocked down, stunned or unbalanced, depending on the kind of attack.Īs such, combat is a fast-paced mix of health, armor, status effects and three distinct types of damage. Once your armor is depleted, you'll start taking much more damage per hit. You and your enemies both have an armor rating, which decreases as you take damage. There's the moment-to-moment fighting, where you'll have to deal damage with light attacks, heavy attacks, firearms and/or magic as well as parry or dodge enemy techniques. You probably won't need to pause all that often, at least on Normal difficulty, but it's a nice option to have when you want to cast a spell or drink a potion that you didn't assign to a shortcut.Ĭombat itself is fast and furious, but it has quite a few variables going on under the hood.
GreedFall features real-time combat with optional pause features, like the old Infinity Engine games. If exploration is my favorite part of the game, combat is a close second. (Image credit: Focus Home Interactive) Chaotic combat It reminds me of Baldur's Gate more than anything: Traversing the wilderness en route to your next destination is simply how you get from point A to point B, and you may discover any number of exciting things along the way. It could be a useful campsite, or a small settlement, or an altar that confers a skill point, or the launching point for an involved side quest.
Each wilderness area is a large, self-contained map that includes a number of question marks and a lot of blank space.Īs you explore, you'll fill in the map and discover what each question mark represents. To do so, you'll have to walk to the outskirts of town, then set off into the wilderness. When you arrive on Teer Fradee, you get three big, open-ended main quests: to meet with the other two foreign powers on the island as well as the closest group of natives.
In keeping with the game's 17th-century inspirations, simply mapping out each new area is a big part of GreedFall's gameplay, and it's one of the best parts of the game. Like most western RPGs, GreedFall has three main aspects of gameplay: exploration, combat and conversation. Once there, you'll be his point of contact with foreign powers and native tribes, as well as his chief explorer, cataloguing the local flora, fauna and geography. Your mission is to accompany your cousin Constantin d'Orsay to the newly discovered continent of Teer Fradee, where he will govern the colony of New Serene. In GreedFall, you take control of Sir or Madam De Sardet: a legate of the Merchant Congregation.
