Mirage
Remember Chivalry: Medieval Warfare? The popular medieval combat game that was most recently seen being released on PS4 and Xbox One late last year is getting a follow up of sorts, but this time, it’s ditching the middle ages in favor of fantasy rooted with an Arabian Nights aesthetic.
Melee combat is still very much an important part of Mirage, but it’s expanded on through the addition of magic. Different in-game classes can make use of various spell/weapon combinations to fill different roles throughout battle. Mirage will feature classes ranging from the heavily armored defender Vigilist class to the staff wielding, magic carpet riding mage the Entropist.
You’ll need to make use of every ability and weapon at your disposal because, as of our hands-on with Mirage back at PAX East 2016, the game’s combat is just as strategic and punishing as Chivalry. Oh, and it’s just as gory too. Expect to frequently lose limbs.
While fans of Chivalry will feel right at home with Mirage, anyone that enjoys tactical, competitive class-based games such as the currently mega-popular Overwatch, should keep Mirage on their radar.
