he is very thoughtful i'm sure he found
a way to get out
he must have welcome to watch mojo and
today
we're counting down our picks for the
top 10 things you need to know about
kingdoms of amoler
it all makes sense now looking for a
good action rpg
well allow us to introduce or
reintroduce kingdoms of amoler
re-reckoning a game released in 2012
that's been recently remastered by kaiko
the studio behind the darksiders
remasters and published by thq nordic
got any tips for new players or any
interesting tidbits about development
be sure to share with us in the comments
below
number 10 the original game
in case you have never heard of kingdoms
of amaler it was an action rpg
originally published by electronic arts
before thq nordic purchased the rights
in 2018.
in it the player takes the role of a
mortal who was mistaken to be dead
before awakening in the well of souls
filled with mystery romance and humor
aplenty the game captured the spirit of
adventure
and fans were craving more
unfortunately there was never a sequel
due to low sales
which is rather a shock given the solid
review scores earned
and some key people who worked on the
game developer 38 studios unfortunately
shut down
a few months after launch
number nine familiar folks worked on the
game
they never did trust fear to begin with
or those twerk out of the worst sort
they weighed some sort of holy war
against humans and alpha for
years now kingdoms of amlar reckoning
isn't your average rpg
there are some really notable people who
helped make the game a reality
those familiar with video game composers
may quickly recognize the musical style
of grant kirkhope upon starting the game
ken rolsten who served as lead designer
for the elder scrolls iii morrowind and
the elder scrolls iv oblivion took the
role of executive design director
but for all these years i've never been
the ruler of my own dreams
fantasy and science fiction novelist r.a
salvatore is responsible for the game's
lore
and world the gorgeous style on the
other hand comes from none other than
todd mcfarlane who is better known as
the creator of spawn
you could say this was the game's dream
team you
you're the one then that means
it all makes sense now number eight
building your character
much of the enjoyment players get from
rpgs is through character creation
what better way to create your original
character or even go so far as to try
and put yourself in the game
kingdoms of amoler may not have
customization as deep in cosmetics as
other games
but it still offers plenty of choices in
terms of your character's story
background and combat abilities
each time you level up you'll be able to
spend points to acquire new skills
abilities and destinies destinies
essentially serving as character classes
invest enough points in certain areas
and you may even be able to go
multi-class
later in the game
number 7 dlc
like several other remasters and remakes
kingdoms of amalar re-reckoning includes
all of the downloadable content released
during the post-launch of the original
game
the legend of dad kell came with a whole
new region with a plethora of quests to
take on
as well as new enemies and dungeon types
along with a new region teeth of naros
introduced the colossi race in addition
to new weapons and armor
speaking of which yes re-reckoning even
includes that amazing mass effect armor
so yeah you have quite a bit of game to
get through before you can say you
finally completed
kingdoms of ammolar
number six improved performance
with older games making their way to
modern platforms comes the expectation
of enjoying them with modern benefits
during our time with it kingdoms of
amalor re-reckoning ran at a consistent
frame rate on ps4 pro
running at 60 frames per second
for the time being however xbox one x
supports the game at 4k resolution
with ps4 pro getting this upgrade at a
later date at the time of recording
it only sits at 1440p but like we said
improvements are incoming even so the
game features tons of scenery that is a
marvel to look at
even at 30 frames per second
number five better options
[Music]
if you're the type who likes to see more
of the game and less of the hud you
might take a liking to the various
options offered in kingdoms of amlar
re-reckoning for starters the hud is a
little more customizable
allowing players to keep it on shrink
its size or remove it from the screen
entirely
sprinting is also adjustable and lets
players choose to hold a button
press it once or hold down one of the
analogs even the camera settings are
flexible enough with a field of view
and auto follow settings
number four mod support
over the past decade the modding
community has expanded exponentially in
the pc market
and thq nordic is aware of this for the
time being
kingdoms of amalar re-reckoning can be
modded but it's a little difficult for
users to access the files
according to the company's faq on the
game the original game was developed in
a way that made modding
incredibly difficult while they may not
be able to add official modding tools
the company has said they will be
working on ways to make files easier to
access
you haven't been forgotten modders they
new loot generation
it can be frustrating when rpgs
continuously hand you armor
weapons and other forms of equipment
that have absolutely nothing to do with
your character build
luckily kingdoms of amalar re-reckoning
is not like most rpgs and has
implemented a method to make your
adventures more rewarding
thanks to a new loot generation system
the game will often reward you with
items that are tailored more towards
your current skill set
for example our editor has invested more
points into finesse with a few in might
so the rewards he's been receiving have
mostly been daggers and feyblades with
an occasional longsword or hammer
yeah you won't have to worry about being
overwhelmed with junk often
number two content great mytharu
egan has returned as for you
you have done as i asked with more than
100 hours worth of content and a hearty
amount of dlc to boot one might think
kingdoms of amalar re-reckoning would
take up a good amount of space
on the contrary the game is relatively
small compared to most rpgs
clocking in at around 30 gigabytes
and that's just for one playthrough too
if you're curious about playing through
some of the other classes
you are looking at hundreds upon
hundreds of hours of play time
in other words you're getting quite a
bit of content for 40 dollars

number one fate sworn
you heard the last entry right there's
more to come in kingdoms of amoler
re-reckoning
the game will be getting a brand new
expansion in 2021
called fate sworn and those who own a
copy of the game's fate edition will get
the expansion
at no additional cost sir sir mr hughes
the two walker have reached the lab that
inside the map
[Music]
not much is known about fate sworn but
given the contents of the original games
dlc
we could be getting additional races a
whole new region to explore
and so much more thq nordic clearly sees
the potential in kingdoms of amalar
re-reckoning and we can't wait to see
how this once great game could evolve
into the next big gaming franchise
