Loki Interview

Cyanide Studios public relations rep Joe Ryan took the time to chat with GameZone about the team’s upcoming mythology-based action RPG, Loki.

Q: In some games, though you have a variety of core characters to choose from, the leveling process is basically identical for each class with just different names. How do the classes differ in this game?

A: The basic characteristics of each character are totally different, so their gameplay is totally different. However each progresses through identical mechanisms. The Egyptian is magic-based; the Greek is a range fighter (using disks, bows and traps); the Aztec can change shape and spawn allies and the Norseman is an out-and-out fighter who revels in hand-to-hand combat. Each has three specific skill trees with 17 skills each (for a total of 51 per hero) and these are unblocked as the game advances, depending on whom the hero is worshipping at the time. There are four totally different experiences within the game.
