For Honor: The Art of Battle @ £32.47
For Honor is the kind of game where a lot of brutal melee combat is involved. Its third person exterior hides a very strategically complex fighting game, mixing solo modes with the very interesting team-based action, all built on the most technically complete and flexible melee fighting platform I’ve ever seen.
Locking into an opponent in For Honor puts you in dual mode, where you can change your guard to block top, left or right. You can block incoming attacks by reading the direction you are guarding, and you have to read your opponent and predict where he’s guarding so you strike from one of the two directions they aren’t guarding. It sounds rather simple on paper, but it’s really not. Under the surface of that philosophy there are some complex and deep web od parries, dodges, counters, light and heavy attacks, feints, recoveries, attacks, throws, stuns and much more. If a fight ends with two people having their heads on their shoulders, it’s a surprise.
You have 12 heroes spread across three factions – Knights, Samurai and Vikings. All of them have the Vanguard class, an Assassin, a Heavy and a Hybrid class. All of them have unique abilities and traits making them unique in their own way. For instance, Assassins are mobile, strike fast and don’t get hit that much, but they can’t take a hit like a Heavy class hero could. All
12 heroes are very different in playing style, so if you don’t like one Assassin you can still end up enjoying another.
The multiplayer setting of the game isn’t something to dip in and out of. You have to progress your class which takes a lot of patience and in-game currency. Steel is rewarded for each match completed and you need to spend around 15.000 to get some pieces of gear. And seeing that you only earn a few hundred per match it may take a while. However, there are daily and weekly contracts which can be taken and completed in multiplayer for bonus experience and currency. There isn’t anything in the game that you can’t buy without investing the time to farm it. The game features a 1v1 duel and 2v2 brawl modes, where you can experience what the game offers best. There’s a big sense of accomplishment when you defeat another player, and your skill is the only determining factor in winning. Brawl mode is similar,however, as every other team sport you are dependent on your partner. The combat system allows you to concentrate on one player while fending off another, allowing you to pull a 2v1 victory if you’re capable and skilled enough to do so. It’s moments like that when the most validating feelings are experienced. Click Here for more details…
