The game gets rather colourful when using elemental weapons! I was hooked to this game for five days straight – hardly sleeping or stopping until I’d fully completed the game – it’s hard to describe what makes Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning so special, but let’s give it a go…
You’ll meet new allies, make dangerous enemies, have to pick from a number of moral choices and explore the land for various resources and treasures. Thus begins your adventure, a very big adventure which sees you travelling all across the large continent, a second smaller island and two other DLC lands which are included seamlessly. As such, you’re the only person who could possibly help in resolving the war and changing the land for the better due to the uncertainty your actions can bring. So, after just over 108 hours and the platinum trophy proudly in my virtual trophy cabinet, why do I believe Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is probably the best RPG you’ve never heard of? Let’s find out…Īfter meeting up with Agarth, a Fateweaver, you’re informed of the ongoing war and advised that due to your special circumstances, you’ve been pulled out of ‘Fate’s Weave’, allowing you to not only change your own future due to Fate no longer having a hold on your life, but you can also change others by interfering with them and making moral choices as you go. Don’t go into this game expecting a full remake, or hoping to see a massive change as we saw in the recent SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom remaster, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is more aking to a modern generation port with a few enhancements and mechanic changes to make the overall experience more fun. Originally developed by 38 Studios and Big Head Studios, the new Re-Reckoning edition has been touched up by the team at KAIKO, the developer behind this generation’s remasters for the original Darksiders and Red Faction Guerilla.
However, thanks to the IP Gobbling team at THQ Nordic, they were able to get their hands on it and have re-released the title as an ‘enhanced edition’ for modern consoles aptly titled ‘ Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning‘. The story behind what happened next was rather strange, with the game being classed as a failure despite selling over 1.2m copies within 90 days, the developer going bankrupt, and the IP for the title being left to the taxpayers of Rhode Island (seriously!).
Back in 2012, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was released on PC, Xbox 360 and the PS3, a game which a lot of people seem to have forgotten or never knew about.
