Rise of Immortals
« on: October 01, 2011, 01:21:12 am »

So, new Free2Play dota-like on steam called "Rise of Immortals"
Right now they are giving away goodies for installing.
Only real reason I care is because petrograph is behind it and they seem to be shifting to the F2P market from the RTS market

Can anyone go back further then Dota, surely that copied off something else...

Heck while we are on the subject lets look at Wow and Everquest and heck deeper to Nethack and DnD pen and Paper and even further back no doubt...

Moral of this Post...
EVERYTHING IS A RIP OFF. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ORIGINAL!!!

Could be my Sentiment that you could be talking about... Have said this in nearly every...
 OMG THIS IS RIPPING OFF "X" GAME CAUSE IT HAS "Y" THINGS THAT "X" HAS AND "X" WAS SO FIRST DESPITE "Z" EXISTING BUT NO ONE HAS PLAYED "Z" CAUSE IT ISN'T AS GREAT AS "X" BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY PLAYED THAT, SO SURELY "Z" IS RIPPING OFF "X" AS WELL!!!...

So instead of having this usual 'omg ripoff' that seems to happen alot, has anyone played the game?

Looks like a pretty neat alternate to LoL, installing now.
Will update with IGN and thoughts.

I have done a few PvEs with some freinds, and... well, it's weird.

Good (Game):
-I quite like the way items work. You buy a base item for cheap, then can spend money to upgrade it to a better version.
-The Immortals are pretty well modeled, just drawn horribly in the concept art.
-/Dancing changes the music.

Good (PvE mode)
-Okay, so this is more for anyone who has played LoL. Imagine, if at the end of a Co-Op VS AI mode, Once you'd broken their Nexus, a Gigantic, mobile, tougher and more damaging version of Baron Nashor started wreaking shit up and you had to stop him. It's pretty good, if a bit too farm-focused.
-There are a couple of crystal prisons you can open to either help out against two large monsters that block your way up the lanes, or you can save them for the last fight. Mostly you need the help to get to their nexus rather than stop the dragon.

Bad (Game):
-Pathing is abysmal.
-Occasionally your Imooorrrttalll will freak the fuck out and run in random directions for no reason at all. They'll stop attacking minions, other players, etc, and just walk off. Can be prevented by constantly right clicking all the time. Annoying.
-Lag. Bursts of it, followed by the game speeding up.

Bad (PvE)
-My god, no explanation is given. The first time I played it, we got our asses kicked by the giant dragon killing it's way to our Shrine and then exploding it, simply because we had no idea what to do, and didn't know to open the last crystal.


I would actually quite like something RoI's PvE mode in LoL. LoL's much better engine could make it really quite good, rather than just decent.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

The first thing that struck me was how good the graphics were.

It's actually not a terrible game. Better than Realm of the Titans in every aspect, I believe.

That doesn't make it good though.
