The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a role-playing video game developed by Snowblind Studios. It is based on the events taking place in the northern regions of Middle-earth in the background of the main story of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, more specifically in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy
universe. Players take control of a hero of the war, and are able to
play through the game alone or co-operatively with other players.
GAME PLAY :
In a preview article in PlayStation Magazine,
it was discussed that players will have skills that are upgradeable,
characters that can be customized, and that conversations play out
similarly to Mass Effect
without the moral ramifications. Each character also has ranged attacks
which they can use. Farin (the dwarf champion) has a crossbow. Eradan
(the human ranger) has a bow and Andriel (the female elf mage) can cast
ranged spells at enemies. All characters also have light and heavy
attacks and can roll, block and counter attack enemies. Players can also
issue orders to their AI companions if they are playing solo. There are
also hubs in the game which function as points where the party may
rest, accept new quests, speak to people and stock up on new supplies.
Hubs are towns or villages.Comic-Con 2011 featured gameplay of War in the North.
Each class also has a unique ability. The dwarf for example can mine
for gems which can be used for crafting purposes and he can also smash
walls down where hidden treasure can be found. The game also features
unlockable difficulty modes such as a nightmare difficulty. You can
replay through the game and keep all your equipment and skills from the
previous playthrough. Dialogue will normally present a few choices where
the player can get just the facts, delve deeper into the lore or get
optional side quests. It is unknown if there will be choices which
influence the plot or change the way a quest plays out. The gameplay
also relies upon the player working with friends (or with AI companions)
to use tactics to defeat certain enemies.
CHARACTER :
The War in The North features three playable protagonists. Each
character has different classes from one another but each character's
class is adaptable. You gain experience when killing enemies, and when
you get enough experience, you gain a new level. You can then improve
your stats (strength, will, stamina, dexterity), and use skill points to
receive or upgrade special abilities. For example, Eradan is a Ranger
and thus excels with the bow and sword but lacks the strength of Farin.
He can be leveled up however to be an expert with two handed weapons,
dual wielding, weapons and shields (tank) or the bow. Farin is an expert
with melee weapons but can use ranged weapons and can be leveled up to
use such. He can also be leveled up to be the tank or the damage dealer
of the party. Andriel is a mage but she can wield two swords at once and
level up in melee attacks, supportive magic or offensive magic.
- Eradan
- Eradan is the Ranger class, he is a Dúnadan. (From Elvish dún-adan, meaning Man of the West, Númenorean.) He is the most adaptable playable character and is adept at using any weapon. He can use a two handed sword, a sword and shield, dual wield weapons or a bow. Eradan also has access to many stealth abilities which allow him to sneak up on enemies to attack them.
- Farin
- Farin is the Champion class, he hails from Erebor. He is best described as the warrior character but he can use a crossbow and simply focus on using it to attack enemies from afar. Out of all three characters, Farin is the most skilled in using melee weapons and he has many powerful abilities allowing him to attack multiple enemies at once. If you learn and improve the ability "War-Cry", he can be able to boost himself and his companions, aswell as damaging enemies and reviving. He can also mine for gems.
- Andriel
- Andriel is the Elven Loremaster class who has been taught by Elrond. She hails from Rivendell. She uses magic as her defense and offense but can dual wield a one handed weapon with her staff which she can also use to melee attack enemies with. Her abilities include offensive spells and supportive spells but she also has melee abilities and can be leveled up to be a "battlemage" if the player wishes. She also has the ability to create potions from alchemy ingredients that the player may find.
- It is based on the events taking place in the northern regions of Middle-earth in the background of the main story.
- Players will have skills that are upgradeable, characters that can be customized
- Each character also have ranged attacks which they can use.
