For example, one path might have a row of treasure chests in a row, which can make you even stronger, while another might just be a long series of fights. The path you choose can easily dictate the difficulty or ease of your run.

At the beginning, you choose between several starting nodes and walk the path randomly generated by them. The game’s overworld is made up of a series of nodes that represent level types, ranging from level advancement, combat, and bosses, to those that sell health and bonuses. The structure of each series of Warlander is quite similar to last year Kill the arrow. It seems odd that the game won’t let you turn them off completely, but ignoring them isn’t a problem or anything. And that includes the dialogue Ferguson repeats when you first lay eyes on the tree that you use to purchase skills on every race. Speaking of things that repeat themselves ad nauseam, with every new race you start Warlander replay the same introductory cutscene and the dialogue that follows immediately after. If you don’t, be prepared to hear the same few lines repeated ad nauseam. Bruce and Ferguson will share jokes sometimes and bosses will sometimes have a dialogue attached to them, but you are free to ignore it. There are, however, some bright yellow lights you can pick up that add tradition to your codex. It starts with an opening cutscene, but there’s not much story after that. With the help of this talking sword, Bruce aims to fight his way through the enemy army and take revenge on his people.Īs you can probably see, the game is by no means plot heavy. Instead of dying with the others, he is miraculously resurrected and greeted by a talking lightsaber named… Ferguson. Warlander tells the extremely generic story of a guy named Bruce whose people are butchered by a stereotypical villain.
