Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Preview

The guys at gameSlave have put together a detailed preview of the single player campaign in Ubisoft and Arkane Studios’ Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

Much like Deus Ex, Dark Messiah uses RPG features streamlined into the FPS environment. While you won’t level up as such, completion of various tasks in levels, or reaching certain points will reward you with skill points. Assigning them to skills will give you access to new spells, more powerful attacks and stealthy abilities. Specialising in stealth for example, allows you to creep up on unsuspecting foes and slit their throats. Invest heavily in magic though, and you can set people on fire, lay magical traps, or even lift huge objects using Telekinesis.
