Originally an XboxOne exclusive in 2013, the game comes to PC a year later which brings some eye-popping visual updates including 4K resolution support to make the experience incredibly immersive, and includes a wealth of customization options to give them total control over the finer details of how they play. The story of Ryse focuses on the story of Marius Titus, as he tells the Emperor Nero of his life, beginning with the murder of his family by barbarian bandits, and his subsequent quest for revenge, whilst serving the Roman Army. During gameplay, the player takes control of Marius in third person perspective, whilst fighting Barbarians and issuing orders to other Roman soldiers. In keeping with the setting, combat is sword based, focusing on reflex based quick time events (QTE's). Ryse's multiplayer mode is called Gladiator: Blood-Brothers mode, and is co operative themed, pitting several people up against gladiatorial challenges in the Colosseum. The more progress and XP the players make, they will earn gold, which can be spent on elixirs, weapons and amour for their multiplayer characters. Custom challenges can also be created by players. It includes 4 DLC packs that were previously released over time for the Xbox One version of the game. All in all, these add more than a dozen new maps to the Multiplayer Mode, as well as the all-new Survival Mode and five new skins that you can deck your gladiator out with. They have also removed the optional microtransactions that were present on the Xbox One. | ||
