The elf Andriel fires at enemies with magic attacks in ranged combat or switches to a staff for melée fighting. In addition, the dwarf has a crossbow on hand that can shoot projectiles that cause devastating explosions in the advanced portions of the game. The dwarf Farin is specialized in two-handed weapons, but can also combine one-handed swords and hammers with a shield and protect the group as a tank. The player selects one of the three main characters to play as in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and with that his personal gaming style. The level of difficulty is selectable, but the higher levels ' Heroic' and ' Legendary' are only unlocked after playing through the entire game several times.Īction-packed gameplay and a solid co-op mode The famous film characters, however, contribute very little to the storyline. Along the way, you pass through Rivendell and meet familiar figures like Elrond, Gimli and Arwen.
You make your way through dungeons, traverse mountains and search caves for valuable treasure in environments laid out in tube-like sections without any notable freedom of movement.
Hostile orcs always show up the same way, in a predictable pre-defined pattern. There is no chapter selection option, but you can return to previously visited locations via designated waypoints marked on a world map. The three adventurers’ journey leads them through eight chapters in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Together the heroes forge their own pact and contribute to the ringbearer’s success through their fearless attacks.\n Even before the two involuntary heroes Frodo and Sam start off for the Dancing Pony Inn, the elf Andriel, human Eradan and dwarf Farin meet there in the pouring rain. In The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, players are immersed in a storyline that runs parallel to the beginning of the well-known Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
