An epic adventure full of exploration, thrill and strategy. And snowstorms in Praey are just breathtaking, and the silhouettes in the far-off distance give off a sense of scale and awe.Īll in all, Praey for the Gods is shaping up to become one of the biggest indie games coming out this year. Making them easily discernible despite the bleak weather. Showing proper contrast between the game’s objects, elements, enemies and the player’s character. From a glance, the game looks stunning and well polished due to good texture work and anti-aliasing. Praey for the Gods has been in development since 2014, and it is being built on the popular Unity 5 Engine. Either way, the effectiveness of the weapons provided will be highly dependent on the player’s effectiveness to apply themselves. Raining arrows from a distance and zipping away to a new spot should their position be compromised. They can engage in close-range melee combat and simultaneously dodge attacks. Players can approach these Giants in any way they see fit. With each new encounter being a unique one that requires thought and experimentation in taking them down. The giants themselves which will number at 5 at launch, are undoubtedly massive and intimidating. Either to target a weak-point or to use as a means of escape.įurthermore, combat in Praey for the Gods is a fast-paced and brutal affair. But here, it adds a level of depth and introduces dynamics to combat that players can utilize. Where physically scaling the Colossi was the level/puzzle itself, that needed to be solved in order to defeat them. Though this may seem counter-intuitive when seen from the standpoint of one of it inspiration sources, namely Shadow of the Colossus. These tools among others, can also be used in combat against the Giants. Another is a sheet that can be used as a ‘Glider’ of sorts, parachuting down tall mountains. One of which is a ‘Grappling Hook’ that players can fire off in the distance, zipping across a ravine and reaching their destination. Aside from climbing them with your bare hands, traversing them is also aided by a handful of tools which were implemented later in the game’s development. The game features a lot of verticality, in way of said cliffs and mountains. Which also acts as a base of operations and a safe haven for you to retreat after scrounging for food out in the fields. A way to recuperate your character’s strength is by resting at campfires that can be found in caves and such. For instance, walking through deep snow in the middle of a snowstorm can rapidly exhaust your character, leaving you vulnerable to predators like wolves stalking the area. That system in-turn is also affected by the environment’s terrain and weather. The game features an “Exhaustion System” that affects the player’s movements such as dodging, climbing or running, as well as hunger and stamina levels. Tools and such will have to procured by scavenging the vast snow fields while braving the dynamically generated in-game “Weather System”, that cycles between night and day. Playing as a lone hero, players will begin their journey in this frozen new world without any items or equipment except for the clothes on their back. And not to mention, the Giants inhabiting them. With terrain riddled with steep cliffs, tall mountains and dense forests, all blanketed in thick snow. Praey for the Gods drops players in a massive and desolate island, battered with harsh winters. And it is you who’ll eventually unravel a kind of truth that you seek. In Praey for the Gods, it works well as the Gods themselves are just oblivious as you are. Where players are given only a handful of information to go on with, while the game’s environments and dwellers provide the exposition upon investigation. Who are these Gods? Why them? Am I doing the right thing? This resembles the story-telling aspect of the Souls series. It is because the tagline for Praey for the Gods is to “defeat the very Gods that you worship”. The game’s premise and story is seemingly simple and somewhat vague, and yet the way it’s setup does spark intrigue. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to. Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter.
