Adventure: Role Playing
New from Cenega, known for publishing the recent UFO games, is The Roots, an RPG that follows the adventures of a charismatic hero raised by tree beings. Combining a classic RPG with dynamic gameplay and the fast paced plot characteristic of action-adventure games, The Roots is an RPG is the slash-‘em-up mould. It also has a complex storyline following several different threads and taking place in a vast world. The player unravels the plot and explores the land whilst travelling with his party, whom he recruits without much difficulty being the sort of chap that people find it easy to follow; they fight many a monster and generally enjoy exciting adventures.
The game is set in the land of Lorath, and this is divided into over 24 regions. During their adventure players have the chance to meet more than 120 NPCs and find over 400 different items and 70 spells to fight off up to 100 monsters and human aggressors on over 70 battle arenas.
As ancient evil powers begin to stir, the player becomes involved in a mysterious world, which eventually develops into an adventure full of intrigue, unexpected events and sudden plot twists. This is the sort of quest where you don’t know what your objective is at the start.
Within the game’s rich and dynamically interactive environment, foreigners join our hero’s quest by adding power and strength through offering new weapons, intellect and tools.
As something of a bonus, The Roots will also offer two mini-games, including Ballooncraft Race – a fast paced, spectacular arcade game, in which players can take to the skies in a Balloon race, and Trion, an original logic game. The game is also honoured by association with nVidia’s ‘The way it’s meant to be played’ clique. Action RPG fans looking for something new might start looking here.
