French developer Cyanide (Chaos League: Sudden Death makers) has released six
new screenshots of Loki,
their upcoming hack 'n' slash/action role-playing game set in a universe
inspired by mythology and ancient races such as the Greeks, Vikings, Aztecs and
Egyptians. The game is scheduled for release in September 2006.
As the "Loki" website goes live, we are pleased to offer 6 as yet unpublished
"Loki" screen shots. "Loki" is a hack 'n' slash (action/RPG) developed by the
French game studio, Cyanide and it is, by far, the studio's most ambitious
project to date. However, it is not their first incursion into a fantasy world
as their subtle blend of humour and haemoglobin in "Chaos League" met with
popular success.
A fantasy voyage through the great mythologies, Loki allows the player to take
on the role of one of the 4 heroes of the game, each drawn from a different
mythology : a mighty Norse fighter, a fierce Greek warrior, a powerful Egyptian
magician or an Aztec shaman who masters the secrets of the spirit world.
Whatever hero the player adopts, he must come to the aid of the gods he
worships. He will come to realise that behind the chaos that is threatening his
world lies Seth, the Egyptian god of darkness and evil, who has returned from
the kingdom of the dead. The hero must therefore undertake an epic journey
across the various epochs and myths. He will fight a multitude of monsters of
all shapes and sizes, and even overthrow a few gods, on his way to preventing
Seth establish his wicked reign.
Strong points
- An epic adventure across 4 great mythologies - Aztec, Egyptian, Greek and
Norse - allowing the player to live through many of the key episodes that mark
these cultures (the siege of Troy, Ragnarok, ......) and setting him in the path
of the most prominent figures within each episode (Achilles, Thor,
Akhenaton.....)
- Choose from 4 different heroes with radically different attributes and powers.
Each hero has a vast array of spells and skills to help him through his quest.
- More than 100 monsters of all shapes and sizes
- Dare to take on mythological creatures that struck fear into the hearts of our
ancestors (Fenrir the giant wolf, the Minotaur in his labyrinth, .......)
- Innumerable story lines through random generation of decors and items, so that
nobody lives the same experience and allowing the game to be played many times
without the hero ever having the same set of weapons, armour or spells.
- Weapons, being made of two parts (loosely "handle" + "cutting edge") and from
different materials, can be customised at the village forge to change
characteristics. Magic runes, found along the way, can multiply the a weapon's
power.
- Live through the adventure with friends in cooperative multiplayer mode or
fight in single combat against friend or foe in PVP mode on a battleground.
