10 seconds of footage. Can you believe a Wii is doing that? Yeah. Anyway details known:
- surprisingly violent
- target the head and limbs of enemies
- slice off head and limbs with blood effects
- the gameplay features young deities against a race of giants
- free online play is confirmed for co-op, which once again, supports 4 players
- weapon customization
- over 300 different weapons
- mix of up-close and distant fighting
- you will use your sword for close combat
- magic is used for long-range attacks
- each stage has a goal that you have to achieve before you can advance, with some goals pertaining to a kill count for each stage
- online lobby for players to meet in
- enemies will cooperate with one another
- no local multiplayer
- expect MotionPlus to be used for the sword aspect of the game
- two playable characters: Fray and Fraya
- due out Feb. 11th
- Freyr and Freyja are siblings
- main characters based off of Norse mythology and Ragnarok
- Freyr uses melee weapons like swords, spears, hammers, etc.
- Freyja uses ranged weapons like bows and magic
- the over 300 weapons in the game are separated between the two characters
- You are allowed to bring 3 weapons into each mission
- gain mana when defeating enemies
- use mana to "create" new weapons via alchemy
- NPCs such as villagers and soldiers that will side with you
- framerate will vary, with dips below 20 FPS, and heights of 60 FPS
- controls will account for any dropped frames
- 5 difficultly settings: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard and Inferno
- Freyja uses homing and lock-on to fire her arrows
- A bow at lvl1 can apparently lock on to 4-6 targets at once, but the number increases with higher level weapons
- using magic consumes MP
- regenerate MP by killing enemies
