Week after week, new publications hail on the players. Many highlights and insider tips are overlooked more and more often. And that’s exactly how a game could be winter ember: a stealth action adventure, for which the developers were greatly inspired by the genre classic. However, this time is not in the dark Middle Ages, but in a more modern setting: The adventure victorian city is Anargal in which its various missions must fulfill. She plays Arthur Artorias, the only survivors of a massacre, who returns after eight years to hunt and practice revenge. In this case, one moves significantly in the footsteps of the master thief Garrett, albeit from a unusual perspective: similar to Metal Gear Solid or Diablo, the entire adventure is played from an isometric top-down view.
Weapons and skills are already more clearly to Thief: You move silently through the shadows, lurks enemies, delivers sword fights or attacks enemies with the bow. Your arrows may make you yourself, the developers promise more than 30 variants such as smoke, poison, ice and fire arrows. The environment should also be used again and again, with some arrows, for example, ripping walls can tear, others create a climbing rope where Arthur can achieve highly places. A first taste is in the trailer.
The missions should be solved on different ways. For this you can also skill Arthur in different directions: you have three talent trees available, which contain more than 70 passive and active skills, divided into the areas of Stealth, Combat and Utility.
