Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Equal parts equipment and skill

Runes of Magic is a no-subscription fantasy MMORPG that is currently in closed beta stages. It promises to have a bit of a unique combat system, and today a dev has given us a dev journal to explain what to expect.

The core of the combat system in Runes of Magic is build by the many different attack skills, which give each character class its own distinctive strength. Combat is not only about beating down the opponent's vitality with brute force, expert adventurers use special effects to win a fight. Using roots or chains of light, players can tactically gain time to escape from a hopeless fight. Sometimes that’s necessary, because bleeding wounds are not only painful, but can become a dangerous problem. There are sinister professions specializing in blinding, stunning and poisoning weakened enemies like that.
