Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning-Surprisingly satisfying fantasy role playing game

*Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning* is a fantasy game that overcomes its generic
beginning to become an involving and excellent action RPG. *Background* The
game is set in Amalur, and whatever you choose your character to be, you'll
be unique because you have no destiny. In Amalur everyone has a destiny, so
the future is pre-ordained, but your character was brought back from the dead
and can act however you want. This is a neat way of explaining your influence
in Amalur. *Combat and customization* In terms of dialogue and environment,
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning isn't very inspired. Where the game excels is
in its customization and combat, which is really satisfying. Fighting
requires timing and thought, while the combinations of abilities and weapons
you can apply are huge. Fighting is much more dynamic and crunchy than most
RPGs, even Skyrim. Graphically, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has a cartoony
style similar to World of Warcraft, but this game is a lot more action
packed. The opening of the game might be slow for RPG veterans, but it allows
you to get to grips with the combat system and customize your character.
*Conclusions* Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning doesn't have the great
storytelling or characters of a Bioware game, nor is it as majestic and
dramatic as Skyrim. However, the exciting combat and deep RPG gameplay make
this an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys the genre.Download *Kingdoms
