MMORPG.com has posted two new exclusive screenshots and the sixth installment of a series of Q&As about Hero's Journey.
"Combat in Hero's Journey is intended to be a lot more fast-paced and fluid than the genre's current offerings. Even when fighting alone, there are frequently tactical decisions to be made if you want to emerge victorious. The trick to combat is all in how you deliver the tactical options to the player so that it is interesting, and balance the play so that is challenging but not absurdly so. Heroes tend to be victorious, but they need to look heroic doing it. And, in good movies and literature, that means interesting resolutions to problems (pugilistic or otherwise). The trick for us is to deliver a way for a Hero to take advantage of his environment as well as his skills in overcoming the enemy."
