![]() ![]() The D-pad is used to go through your potions/consumables, and the left trigger is for locking on to enemies and using your shield.Ĭontrols work well, though the combat can feel a bit loose at times. Controls are fairly simple with X being your main attack, B being a dodge with a short cooldown, Y, Right Trigger, and Right Bumper being your various mana-using abilities, and A being your interact button. The Warrior is exactly what you’d think and was my choice as I just like smashing things. The Ranger is both safer to play as and more challenging due to its higher skill ceiling. In the Saga mode, there are multiple unlockable class archetypes, though you’ll start with only the Ranger and Warrior available. Your initial saga runs will be learning experiences where you figure out the most optimal routes and strategies as you attempt to defend your city from the nightly enemy raids while gaining more and more power so that you can take down the various camps and targets that litter the very large map. The resource gathering aspect is helped by the fact that every node only takes one hit to gather, no matter the size. It makes things a heck of a lot easier and less frustrating. While the game does offer up matchmaking, I would say focus on finding a friend group of at least three or four people for this one if you plan on getting it as you want to play with people you can trust. In the town is a community chest, something recently added to the game, that lets you combine all of your player’s resources into one big pile. After getting enough wood, stone, gems, and minerals of various qualities you can use those resources to upgrade your vendors and craft more and more powerful gear. You’ll begin by finding sticks and flint to craft your first axe and pickaxe. Each new run starts at the same point in a procedurally generated world. I was lucky enough to get to play with 6 of the dev and pr members working on the game as we worked our way through the brand-new Saga. Cooperative play is the main focus of the game, especially in Saga mode. You can choose to go after one, two, or all three now if you’re feeling up for it though I’d recommend only pushing that if you have a big group of friends to help with. The main goal of a Saga is to defeat the world boss and there are three available now. Multiple NPCs are there to help you craft items for gathering resources, forge weapons and armor for fighting, and gain potions or food to replenish your health. Sagas have you protecting part of the World Tree which resides in a town. This has been the main mode of the game since its launch and is the big focus on the marketing for Season 3 and the game’s launch on the Xbox platform. Two modes are on offer the first of which is the Sagas. You are sent down from Asgard to protect Midgard, aka Earth, from the denizens of Hel. ![]()
