Realms of Ancient War Shows Off New Trailer

Realms of Ancient War Shows Off New Trailer

So close to Diablo, you can smell the sulfur

Written by osubluejacket on 11 July 12 at 14:36

Realms of Ancient War is doing its darndest to make gamers forget about the console beast known as Diablo III. Thus far, they've showed off their co-op mode, Wizard Class, Warrior Class, and more. Today, they're pulling the camera back a bit and showing off an overview of some of the game mechanics.



While pricing and exact release date are not yet available, we can tell you that Realms of Ancient War is set for a September release on the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Hmm, I wonder when the release date will be. Casey and I must have another co-op romp.
osubluejacket - It's nice to see all of my Fable 3 ratios shooting up.  Thanks, Microsoft!

I may not get it at launch, but this game will eventually find its way onto my hard drive.

osubluejacket said:I may not get it at launch, but this game will eventually find its way onto my hard drive.Ditto. I'm very interested in this game, but want to see some reviews and gameplay from those not affiliated with the game before purchasing. Maybe an eventual DoTW (assuming M$ can stop repeating the same offers).

On a side note, I'm getting quite irritated that there's no Rogue trailer. They keep showing the Wizard and Warrior to no end, but that's it. If I can play an archer in these types of games, I always do. She exists if you look at their website and click on the Heroes tab, not to mention the cover art.
I'm gonna ninja you!!

That's the biggest fucking mistake they could have possibly made with a game like this, even if the controls were shit it would shift more units having online co-op functionality than not, due to it being an ARPG. If you're going to be a diablo clone at least have the brain cells to rub together to realise this kind of shit needs to have an online experience. Couch co-op just doesn't cut it in the 21st century. Online co-op and matchmaking service would make this game whole. For awhile this game looked like an instant purchase on release, however since finding out that there was going to be no online co-op, I'll probably only get this 6 months to a year later, when it's either reduced or on sale.

Looks very good IMHO. However, the local coop only is probably going to make this a sale buy for me.

There's a ton of games like this out already, and its looking decidedly average in my opinion. Waiting for torchlight 2 instead!

i completely understand where you are coming from but at least they have local co-op. The worst part with having online co-op is that they usually tie achievements to it and then you are screwed unless you know someone with the game since the online for arcade games is usually dead after one or two months.

OP: games looks cool. will be getting it most likely. love any diablo style game
P.S. - Im a mutual fan of all game systems. P.S.S. - Wii and 3DS arent game systems.
