Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Gameplay

In general, the gameplay of Wolcen: Lords Of Mayhem for PC does not differ greatly from the standards set by modern productions from the hack-and-slash genre. We watch the game’s world in isometric view and undertake numerous main and side quests during the exploration, most of which focuses on fighting monsters and other enemies. During the battles we use a vast arsenal of weapons, armors, and magical powers. However, the developers from SolarFall Games have also implemented several innovative features, bringing a breath of fresh air to the stiff schemes of this genre.

One of such novelties is the incredibly complex crafting system, which allows us to create weapons and equipment of virtually any shape and features. Additionally, we can use the resources gathered throughout our journey to build our own house, and then furnish it however we like. The second important innovation is the unusual character development system, dubbed Apocalyptic Form by its creators. They have completely dropped the popular RPG division on classes and typical skill trees. Instead, our hero develops in a direction set by our own play style and the decisions made during the game. This leads our character to develop mutations, which can result in e.g. a third hand to wield another weapon or wings that will allow for extremely long jumps.

Technology

A strong point of Wolcen: Lords Of Mayhem for PC are the high quality visuals, achieved thanks to the usage of the latest generation of the advanced CryEngine 3, ed by Quixel Megascans technology. The game's artificial intelligence, based on the Kythera system, is also noteworthy. Thanks to it, our opponents will smoothly adapt to changing surroundings and the situation on the battlefield.
