Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a re-master of an action RPG in the TPP convention, set in a fantasy world created by the writer R.A. Salvatore (the creator of the dark elf Drizzet Do'Urden, known to fans of the Forgotten Realms world). The 2012 original was developed under the aegis of the Electronic Arts concern by two non-existent development teams: 38 Studios and Big Huge Games. Among the co-founders were such names as Ken Rolston (chief designer, known from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) and Todd McFarlane (responsible for the artistic layer, associated mainly as the creator of the comic book character Spawn). After THQ Nordic took over the brand's rights in September 2018, a refreshed version of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was commissioned to a small studio, Kaiko Games, which collaborated in porting productions such as Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition and Legend of Kay: Anniversary Edition.

Plot

The action of the game takes place in a fantasy land - Amalur, divided into several regions. The story begins with the death of the main character, then resurrected with the Well of Souls. In Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning we are dealing with a classic story "from zero to hero" and saving the world from evil. Despite the possibility of making decisions in dialogues based on the Mass Effect series, the story presented in the game is mainly linear.
