Unique Gameplay Powered by Gamebryo Game Engine
Developed by Cyanide, published by Dreamcatcher and built with Emergent's Gamebryo technology, Loki is an action/RPG game for the Windows PC. In full 3D, Loki offers a multitude of special effects in hi-res graphics that takes full advantage of the possibilities offered by the latest generation of graphic cards. Loki is the studio's most ambitious project to date, but it is not its first venture into the world of heroic fantasy. Many will remember Chaos League and its liberal dosage of humor and haemoglobin. Loki takes action RPGs to a level beyond adventure: myth.
Player Characters From Ancient Legend for the Modern Gamer
An incredible journey through four great mythologies, Loki: Heroes of Mythology allows the player to assume the mantle of one of four heroes: a mighty Norse warrior, a fierce Greek fighter, a powerful Egyptian sorcerer or a skilled Aztec shaman. Each player avatar draws different strengths, skills, and unique fighting style from his or her mythological background..
The player’s chosen character is destined to come to the aid of the gods. It will soon become obvious that the world is threatened by Seth, the Egyptian god of chaos and evil who has returned to life. In order to put an end to Seth's wicked plans the player will undertake a terrifying voyage through an ever-changing myriad of environments (guaranteed by a random generation of levels), ensuring infinite replayability.
In each of the four worlds the player becomes part of a great historical or mythological event : the fall of Troy, the Spanish invasion of Central America, Ragnarok, while encountering great historical or mythological characters, such as Achilles, Thor, Akhenaton, and Cortes.
Legendary Beasts and Enemies on an Epic Scale
During the epic adventure at the heart of Loki, players give battle to a multitude of enemies. Hundreds of creatures and opponents of every kind challenge the player, including skeletons, giant spiders, centaurs, mummies, harpies, wild animals, and a vast array of soldiers, culminating in showdowns with formidable bosses such as Medusa, Fenrir the wolf or Fafnir the dragon. Each boss has a particular way of fighting so the player must discover his weak points.
Customizable Items for Your Heroic Quest
As players advance, they will be able to collect or exchange thousands of items, including 500 unique objects, such as Thor's hammer or Achilles' armour.
The on-screen character evolves by completing quests (over 50) or by destroying enemies along the way. Weapons and armour the player acquires can be customised at a blacksmith's workshop, improving technical or magical properties and, in doing so, creating original items of great value.
How was this engaging and innovative game created? Cyanide used Gamebryo’s game development suite to make the myths come to life.
