Nexon’s upcoming action-RPG spin-off, Vindictus: Defying Fate, promises to offer a mix of Celtic mythology, intense swordplay, and stunning visuals. While I may not have personal experience with its predecessor, Vindictus, the new game seems to be a flashy and action-packed adventure worth exploring.
Vindictus: Defying Fate is set in a fantasy world inspired by Irish and Celtic mythology. Players will encounter monsters from these mythologies as well as familiar heroes like Fiona and Lann, known for their combat prowess. The game’s demo showcases its combat mechanics, resembling the fast-paced action of Soulslike games with its emphasis on quick strikes, combos, and evasion tactics.
In the demo, players have the choice of playing as Fiona, a defensive fighter, or Lann, an agile dual-blade wielder. Each character offers a unique perspective on the game world, allowing players to explore different regions filled with medieval fantasy elements. While the demo offers a taste of gameplay, the full game will provide the opportunity to create a custom character, adding a personal touch to the adventure.
The pre-alpha playtest for Vindictus: Defying Fate is currently live on Steam until March 18th, inviting players to share their thoughts and feedback on the demo. Despite being early in development, the game appears polished and promising, as seen in its trailer. Interested players can request access to the playtest on the game’s Steam page, without the need to wishlist it as initially stated. However, the official release date for the PC version is still pending an announcement.
Vindictus: Defying Fate presents an exciting blend of mythology, combat, and customization, making it a compelling prospect for fans of action RPGs. With its unique setting and engaging gameplay mechanics, the game has the potential to captivate players looking for a new adventure in a fantastical world. As the pre-alpha playtest continues, it will be interesting to see how the developers incorporate player feedback to shape the final release of Vindictus: Defying Fate.
