Loki is an action game with RPG elements, which was created by French studio Cyanide, known mainly from various sports productions. Although the title clearly suggests links between the programme and Germanic mythology, in fact it also uses other legends and tales - Greek, Egyptian and Aztec.

Developed by Cyanide, Loki is an action/RPG game for the Windows PC. In full 3D, Loki offers a multitude of special effects in hi-res graphics that takes full advantage of the possibilities offered by the latest generation of graphic cards. Loki is the studio's most ambitious project to date, but it is not its first venture into the world of heroic fantasy. Many will remember Chaos League and its liberal dosage of humour and haemoglobin.

An incredible journey through four great mythologies, Loki allows the player to take-on the role of one of four heroes : a mighty Norse warrior, a fierce Greek fighter, a powerful Egyptian sorcerer or a skilled Aztec shaman. Each comes from a different mythological background and each has different strengths and skills and, therefore, radically different ways of fighting.

The main pros of the game

  • Variety of Characters and Mythologies: Players can choose from four distinct heroes, each rooted in different mythologies (Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Aztec), each with unique abilities and skill trees.
  • Dungeon Crawling and Combat: The game offers plenty of dungeon crawling and action, with a variety of weapons and armor reminiscent of other ARPGs like Diablo.
  • Respawn Mechanic: Players do not lose progress upon death; they respawn at the entrance of the area, which can be seen as a positive for casual play.
  • Decent Graphics and Animation: Individual enemies are well-drawn, and the game has moments of good visual appeal when zoomed out.
  • Atmospheric Music: Background music, especially in certain areas, enhances the game experience.

The main cons of the game

  • Clunky Controls and Interface: Many players found the character controls and user interface to be unpolished and frustrating to use.
  • Repetitive Gameplay: The game suffers from a lack of variety in level design and enemy encounters, leading to a grindy experience.
  • Loading Screens: The map is divided into areas that require loading screens to transition between, which disrupts the flow of gameplay.
  • Unbalanced Difficulty: Early game difficulty is particularly criticized, with some characters being significantly harder to play than others.
  • Technical Issues: Numerous bugs, crashes, and performance issues were reported, affecting the overall experience.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Smooth Transition Between Zones: Players noted the lack of seamless transitions between areas, which could have improved immersion.
  • Character Customization: There is a lack of depth in character customization, with many feeling limited by straightforward skill trees.
  • Engaging Story and Quests: The storyline and quests were deemed bland and uninspired, lacking the intrigue found in other ARPGs.
  • Diverse Itemization: Players expressed disappointment in the loot system, with items feeling too similar and not offering enough variety or utility.
  • Tutorial or Help Menu: Many users felt the game lacked guidance on mechanics, making it difficult for new players to learn how to play effectively.

Summary

  • Overall, while "Loki" has its merits, particularly in its unique mythological themes and character variety, the execution falls short in several critical areas, leading to mixed reviews from players.
