This year Ubisoft's schedule is very crowded, as we await the release of big and important games from the company such as Watch dogs legion and Assassin's creed Valhalla, in addition to these huge titles, the company announced some other titles that are working on, most notably Immortals Fenyx Rising, which is supposed To be issued on the 3rd of next December.
Immortals Fenyx Rising was developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the same team that developed the popular game Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
The idea of developing the game started when the team encountered a technical failure during the development of Assassin's creed Odyssey, where the malfunction led to the transformation of the characters in the crew of the hero into giant monsters, which was found by the development team to be interesting, and because of which the idea of developing a game based on ancient Greek myths appeared.
The hero of the game is Fynx
The character you play with is called Fynx and she is a fully customizable character, not a pre-designed character.
You can choose the gender of the character and customize many formal and physical elements before the start of the game, and of course you can modify many of these elements during the game.
This trend has become very common in the recent period, especially in games that contain role-playing elements. It is worth noting that the game comes from the third-person perspective, and it is an action and adventure game that takes place in an open world called Golden Isle.
The story of the game
The game takes place in the era of ancient Greek mythology, where famous gods rule the game world, but this world is invaded and destroyed by the most terrifying monster, Typhon.
For thousands of years Typhon was imprisoned underground by the god Zeus but somehow he managed to escape and out into the world and he is now seeking revenge against the gods who caused his imprisonment.
Indeed, Typhon can defeat the gods and open portals from the underworld to summon a huge group of devastating monsters and creatures, and they are now occupying the Golden Isle world.
The hero of the game is exposed to a shipwreck at the beginning to find himself on the destroyed Golden Isle land and you must help the gods and liberate them to destroy Typhon forever, as there is a prophecy that confirms that Fynx is the one who will defeat Typhon.
Hero's weapons and abilities
The hero is trying to help the gods and free them from Typhon's grip, and in order to do this, he must use a group of famous gods' weapons, which give him the strength to fight the fierce monsters inside the game, namely:
Sword of Achilles
Bow of Odysseus
Also the gods give you a set of abilities and gifts that help you in fighting, namely:
Hammer of Hephaistos: This ability can take down enemies at a great distance.
Tactical Power of Athena: This ability enables the character to move quickly and impulsively towards enemies.
Power of Ares: This ability enables the character to summon arrows from the ground that make enemies fly through the sky.
The Wings of Diadalos: This ability enables the character to fly high in the sky as it calls for a companion bird called Phosphoros, and this bird can be used during combat to deliver powerful blows.
Fighting style
The combat in the game comes to us in an Over the Top perspective, and it depends on rapid acrobatic movements and a combination of weapons and abilities that you possess to form a series of powerful and complex strikes.
During the fight, you will face monsters on the ground and in the sky, and you can use the ability of Diadalos to fight in the sky, and all the weapons you own can be used while you are in the air.
Puzzles and the Vault of tartaros
Within the game there is a large group of varied puzzles mixed with the game world dynamically and you must solve these puzzles in order to obtain Coins of charon, whose role we will talk about in detail later.
There is also an area called Vault of tartaros, which are areas that Typhon opened and made it connected to the underworld and put Zeus' thunderbolts in them, and these areas offer more complex battles and puzzles and you must go to these areas to collect Zeus Lightings Bolt, which has a very important role in character development.
Hall of Gods and Character Development Zone
When you free one of the gods, you will find him in the Hall of Gods, an area that we can consider as the main base for the player, where the character can be developed and weapons and equipment can be made and upgraded.
In most games that contain scalable elements or role-playing elements in general, development is only linked to the level of the character and the more you level up, the more you can unlock more abilities and updates, but the Immortals Fynx Rising game is completely different as the development in the character and the gear is linked to the way of playing and interacting with The environment is largely because each element is developed in a certain way as follows:
Health: In order to increase the character's health level you must use Ambrosia, which are tools that you can collect from all over the game world.
New moves: In order to unlock new moves, you must spend a coin called Coins of Charon, and this currency is obtained from solving the puzzles in the game, as mentioned earlier.
Stamina: You can increase the stamina of the character by spending the Lighting Bolt that you get from the Vault of Tartaros as mentioned earlier.
Upgrading weapons, tools and magic potions: You can upgrade these equipment and weapons by opening the safes that you get after killing monsters, as you collect material known as Shards, and it is also necessary to collect some raw materials from the game world, such as wood.
As we see, the character development system is unique as it mixes all the elements of the environment together and all the missions and play styles, you cannot neglect any style and you must fight monsters, solve riddles and go to the Vault of Tartaros areas in order to be able to develop the character in the most appropriate way.
Game world
The map for the game consists of several separate regions and each of the regions reflects one of the deities of the Greek civilization, and each region is designed to be consistent with the myths related to each deity.
The first area you reach in the game is the Clashing Rocks area, which is the area that witnessed the war between Typhon and the rest of the gods, and you will notice the devastation and destruction in it, and this area witnessed the defeat of the most famous heroes at the hands of the monsters of Typhon, which is the area from which you will get the legendary weapons where the heroes lost them in Battle, as it is the area in which you will free the first deity you meet Hermes.
After that, you can move around the entire map completely freely and go wherever you want from the start of the game as the game does not force you on a specific path that you must follow, but you are completely free to explore and this helps the presence of a large number of sub-tasks that you can do as well as the activities previously mentioned It is worth noting that each area has a certain number of puzzles and Vault of Tartaros areas that you must complete.
Well, this was the most important information we got about Immortals Fynx Rising, and now all that remains is to wait for December 3, as the game is officially released on almost all platforms and Google Stadia.
