| Description: |
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is a computer game developed by Arkane Studios for Ubisoft. It uses a modified version of the Source engine from Valve Software, which was originally used to make Half-Life 2. While Arkane Studios created the single player portion of the game, Kuju Entertainment developed the multiplayer mode.
Game description
Dark Messiah seemingly bears no obvious connections to the Might and Magic fantasy world; the latter is not Xeen but Ashan. The game is a first person combat game that features a wide variety of ways to customize the player's character, including stealth, melee combat, archery, as well as violent and non-violent magic. The player takes on the role of a young man named Sareth who wishes to find adventure and riches in the world. He is the pupil to the wizard Phenrig; Sareth's adventures lead him the city of Stonehelm to aid in the recovery of a mystic object known as "The Skull of Shadows".
Gameplay and Features
The main features of Dark Messiah is its environmental manipulation, combat system and unique character development.
Arkane Studios has said that the advanced Enemy AI can be best described as, "If the player can do it, so can the AI." This will add an extremely realistic aspect to the game. The player is now no longer the only one that can attack and defend intelligently and realistically, or create strategies and perform special moves during combat. This means players will have to think on their feet and conform to each new situation in order to successfully defeat the enemy especially once the bigger more powerful enemies come into the picture.
Combat System,
The combat in Dark Messiah uses a context sensitive system in order to trigger special events and animations. This means that blocking, striking, and special moves will all feature realistic animations that conform to the situation. An example situation: an orc is charging the player with a sword, by pressing the block button as the orc strikes at the player, depending on the direction, area and type of strike that the orc is attacking the player with, the player's character will move the weapon/shield to intercept, and block or parry the orc's attack, giving a realistic and fluid feel to the game. This also goes with a character's attacking as well. To further enhance the combat you can perform many different combat moves (blocks, parries, disarms, stuns, slashes, stabs, shield breaking, stealth kills, and lunges to name a few) and the player can also perform special moves to finish off an opponent such as a lunging attack where you impale the enemy on your sword then proceed to kick him off the end of your blade, or the lateral slash in which you perform a powerful horizontal swing and decapitate your opponent. Along with this vicious melee combat there is also ranged combat with weapons like bows and arrows and like many games of its genre, magic attacks. These magic abilities range from ice blasts that freeze an opponent or make them slip and fall down, all the way to conjuring huge fire balls that you launch and guide to their intended target. As with the melee there are also special magic attacks that can be unlocked such as telekinesis, which a player can use to hurl objects at enemies, or even pick up an opponent and hurl him into a wall or off a cliff. Dark Messiah will feature many different weapons that can be used, ranging from different types of swords, shields, staffs, daggers, and bows.
Different Versions
Despite having received a "not under 18" rating from the USK, Ubisoft announced that the two German versions of Dark Messiah will contain some changes from the internationally released version. Specifically, the German version does not allow for enemies' heads or limbs to be severed, enemies cannot not be impaled after death, burning enemies will die immediately and their corpses cannot be mutilated further after death. Ubisoft separately released a limited edition "International Version" of the game (playable in English only) which is identical to the version of the game released in most other countries.
