Skydance's Behemoth

Behemoth is an action RPG developed by Skydance Interactive, known for the warmly received The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. It was developed with virtual reality sets in mind.

Plot

Behemoth takes us on a journey to a bleak fantasy land known as the Forsaken Lands. This once vibrant and beautiful area changed beyond recognition when it was struck by a mysterious plague; through it, cities began to fall into ruin and people - into madness. We take on the role of a sickly wanderer who roams the territory and hunts giants called behemoths, trying to find a cure for the disease consuming the land and its inhabitants.

Mechanics

In Behemoth the action is observed from a first-person perspective (FPP). Traversing the ice-covered locations, we are mainly engaged in fighting with enemies. Clashes are dynamic, and during them we use mainly the sword and a rope with a hook, which allows the protagonist, among other things, to attract enemies to himself or use elements of the environment against them (for example, thanks to it the protagonist can throw heavy rocks on their heads). From time to time we also have the ability to act silently and eliminate enemies by surprise. The behemoths, on the other hand, act here as bosses. Due to their enormous size, in order to defeat them it is necessary to climb on their bodies (here again a rope with a hook comes in handy); for only in this way can we reach their weak points. The rope is also indispensable to us during exploration, as it makes it easier for us to cross chasms or get to places inaccessible by standard methods.

Technical aspects

Behemoth features high-quality graphics. Especially the designs of the behemoths are impressive.
