TEAMWORK: If you work together, you survive.

STORY MODE: Is a single, continuous shot.
This hasn’t been done since 1988’s Double Dragon, rather than simply cutting from one stage to the next, the players enter an animated transition to the next area, creating the illusion of a living and breathing world.

SIEGE: Huge 50 vs 200 battles.
Outside of story mode there are huge battle stages such as a castle defence where you are heavily outnumbered. These stages last longer and involve long term strategies alongside 50 AI soldiers where teamwork is key to survival and each extra player’s presence and contribution is felt.

MOUNTS: Dragons, owls, bears and beasts.
Enemies riding fire breathing dragons and beasts can be knocked down, and players can then ride the creatures themselves, each mount has its own powerful attacks.

COMBAT VARIATION: Ground beats, combos, air juggles, grapples, blocks and counters.
Studying a bunch of fighting classics under the microscope we built a crunchy and satisfying combat formula. Fallen enemies can be ground beat, one character can flying neck throw while others block and counter. But it's not just about dishing out mindlessly, the AI is varied and also taken to the next level.
