Over the years, the sub-genre of arena survival has lived to see numerous representations. Among the creators of productions of this type there is no shortage of developers from Poland. To this group belongs the independent Dark Jay Studio behind the Arms of God project described here, inspired by Doom, Diablo and Warhammer 40,000, among others.
In Arms of God, we view the action in an isometric view. During the gameplay we take on the role of a warrior of an ancient order dispensing justice to the inhabitants of the infernal abysses. The game implements auto shooter mechanics, so the character attacks on his own as soon as the opponent comes within range of a given weapon.
Thanks to five divine "arms", the warrior we control can wield up to five types of weapons simultaneously, the list of which includes both white and ranged weapons. This is useful in that he is usually attacked by dozens of units coming from many directions at the same time, with the exception of powerful bosses, whose clashes crown the subsequent acts.
At the same time, our role is not limited to running around the screen. The game allows you to design diversified sets of equipment to suit your current needs and style of play. Creating effective "build?s" is all the more important because the various opponents have unique attack patterns and strengths and weaknesses, the knowledge and skillful use of which is the key to success.
In addition, as we progress, we gain power, which we can spend on improving our equipment. We can also sacrifice a wielded weapon to strengthen another. We are also not chained to one character, as we have at our disposal heroes equipped with characteristic abilities. We develop them by advancing to new levels and unlocking permanent upgrades that stay with us even after their death.
The adventure in Arms of God leads through varied locations, with the Cathedral being the headquarters of the Order and the base camp. Here you'll find a training ground for honing your combat skills, an Armory and Alchemy Chamber, where you unlock upgrades, as well as a Bell Tower, where you recruit characters.
