The Setting
Set in an alternative historical London, The Order: 1886 is full of familiar characters and places but in a whole new and darkened way. As an order of knights, armed with powerful weapons and technology, London is your playground in an epic cinematic adventure.
Most shooters focus heavily on the combat, the waves of enemies and sometimes repetitive scenarios. The Order: 1886 differs in this way, combining a narrative story full of depth and interesting plays on modern history. Classifying The Order: 1886 as a shooter is tricky with a heavier focus on the storyline and characterization.
Ru Weerasuriya, founder of developers Ready at Dawn, explained how the game’s shorter length was to give players immense quality without several hours of game time. This attitude results in a fast paced cinematic shooter built on tremendous visuals and fluid combat that pulls it away from any other Third-Person Shooter to date.
