Loki - Game Description

An incredible journey through four great mythologies

The Source of Evil…

Seth, the god of chaos and evil, has lain dormant for eons. Lead by Osiris, the Egyptian gods overpowered the chaotic god, casting him into his confines. Sealed deep within this tomb, Seth's days of vengeance disappeared into the realms of myth. Now, Seth has broken free and is determined to exact revenge and vent his anger upon the world. His destructive plans have been aided by his discovery of the paths which cross from one mythology to another. Each world has stood isolated since the beginning of time, but now Seth, at the head of an army of disciples, aims to conquer all.

The adventure begins in the world of the chosen hero. Time and again the hero will be confronted by deities allied to Seth, and each time the hero must overcome these unlawful beings. The hero is then free to choose their route through the remaining worlds, hot on the trail of Seth. Once all of Seth's allies are defeated, the hero will find himself head-to-head with the overseer of evil in the final battle that will bring the scourge of Seth to an end, once and for all.

An epic adventure…

Battle a multitude of enemies, with hundreds of creatures and opponents of every kind created for the game. Fight your way past skeletons, giant spiders, centaurs, mummies, harpies, wild animals, and numerous soldiers, culminating in showdowns with formidable bosses such as Medusa, Fenrir the wolf or Fafnir the dragon. Each character enemy has a particular way of fighting, with weak points that can be exploited to bring victory to our hero.

Advancement through the game yields thousands of items to collect and trade, including 500 unique objects, such as Thor's hammer or Achilles' armour.

The player's character evolves by completing quests and destroying enemies along the way. Weapons and armour that are acquired can be customised at a blacksmith's workshop, improving technical or magical properties and, in doing so, creating original items of great value.

Each of the four worlds immerses the player in a great historical or mythological event, including the siege of Troy, the Spanish invasion of Central America, Ragnarok, and others. There are also many encounters with characters of legend, including Achilles, Thor, Akhenaton and Cortes.

Whichever hero is adopted, the aim is to come to the aid the gods. It will soon become clear that the world is under great threat since Seth returned to life. In order to put an end to Seth's planned domination, the hero will undertake a terrifying voyage through an ever-changing myriad of environments (guaranteed by the random generation of levels), ensuring infinite replayability.

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Hard Evidence
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
Sins of a Solar Empire
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
Silent Hunter 4: Pacific U-Boat Missions
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
GC: Disciples 3: Renaissance
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Nitro Stunt Racing Stage 1
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
GC: Aion Tower of Eternity
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
Race 07
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
