do not be surprised if many gamers very happy with the gameplay of this game, from the previous series Shadow of Mordor few years ago before the second series. a little picture of the Shadow of War game. We call it the Shadow of Mordor improvement experience, but is now faced with not only the new gameplay mechanics, but also retain features of the wider world. and forces to make it equal and capable of dealing with Sauron in a balanced manner.

maybe who do not know the story of this game, I will tell you a little about the history that exists in this game, Shadow of War is a sequel series directly from Shadow of Mordor. the main character still continues. The Tionion in revenge mission remains possessed by Celebrimbor, one of the Elves who created the Ring of Powers owned by the leaders of Middle earth that Sauron now controls. To ensure they have a chance to fight back, Talion and Celebrimbor decide to forge a new Ring of Power equivalent to Sauron's, but free from the influence of the Dark Lord.

Celebrimbor was suddenly kidnapped by Shelob, a woman capable of turning into a large spider. Demonstrating his phenomenal strength, Shelob manages to trick Talion to hand over the new Ring of Power to be exchanged with Celebrimbor. With this new power, Shelob is also at odds with Sauron, Seeing what Sauron is planning, seeing the true fate of Talion.

The struggle to ensure Sauron did not regain his strength was certainly not an easy task. Talion also began to use his new power to build Orc forces to fight back Sauron. With the influence of Celebrimbor who now calls himself the Bright Lord who is able to defeat the opponents of the Dark Lord, the journey they travel is not as easy as can be imagined. Because not only Sauron, there are so many other threats, like orcs who even dare to awaken Balrog to betray Sauron. Or the certia that is now in this game, still continue from the previous series.

Shadow of Mordor is comparatively quite special from the visual. This game engine that has been put in moodifikasi namely Lithtech Engine version used by Monolith. Given visualization and refinement, as games with visuals that is good enough. shadow of war remains an incredible game that I personally, especially with a design environment that is far more varied than the previous series of Shadow of Mordor.

That no longer stuck in a dark world filled with mud, the Shadow of War now divides his world into several variants, each of which has a different place settings. Minas Ithil adventure in the big city with a fantastic civilization, until the snow or dense forests, which are also armed with the headquarters of the Orcs. At least from for variation, the Shadow of War to make sure we can be an adventure in the scale that is more diverse and large.

But for business details, it does not look special. The daytime cycle and also the dynamic weather are fortunately preserved, the dramatic effect also flowing through the lighting in some corners of the game arena. Shadow of War will not end up being a game that we will enjoy just for the quality of the existing visualization. although we will not have the opportunity to explore it freely given the existing game arena is divided by region.

a game that made the Lord of the Rings the first storyline. The Orcs we will encounter along the way, especially with the Nemesis system that makes them random, always present with a unique visual to reinforce their personality traits. the Uruk-hai we meet, are special and different from each other. There is a full scar, and some are using a helmet with fire, until it comes with facial details that are almost similar to humans. They come with a difference that suits the situation we face.

will certainly carry a different orc variant of each clan, which comes with weapons, mounts, and have different weaknesses in each orc. For the battle system, while maintaining the attack system and doing counter attack instantly, Of course, this strategy is not always effective. There are types of orcs, such as those that use shields, which we can not attack even in a frontal way and need to do a vault to unlock the defense. Or like the Berserker type with two weapons that also need different strategies to fight it.

there is something interesting given by Developer Monolith, we will still play a strong Talion from the first series, but there is an addition that is given Monolith in order to make the ability to be more effective. such as Talion's double jump that allows it to reach further areas, or just the ability to jump when climbing that allows it to get to the top with much more effective. By using EXP system as reward and level system, we will also gain skill points for various skill categories to make Talion stronger.

this is interesting for me to discuss for you in terms of the system quest and side quest that is given, many other open world game, as we only need to work on various icons that we find on the map. There are icons that will show the main mission, and there are also side missions that we can accomplish with less related lines and rewards that are pretty good, there are a variety of collectibles missions that ask us to search and find a variety of objects with not much appreciation. sometimes there is a new side mission that can continue after we open a new area of this system is also applied in some ubisoft games, especially in Assassin Creed Series.

one of the new features that make Shadow of War feel better from the side of the gameplay is its ability to ride Drake. Such a creature is a dragon with this fire breath will continue to attack us. Attacking them with arrows and swords, so falling into Broken status will allow us to ride it freely. Drake not only allows us to move quickly from one area to the next, but also have the ability to issue fire and strong attacks, If you successfully complete one of the existing side quest, we can also call it, whenever and wherever.

In contrast to the previous series of Shadow of Mordor, which feels like a trip to Taliion for revenge, in contrast to Shadow of War as the name suggests is the effort of Talion is no longer merely subjugating Sauron, but mastering Mordor. So, therefore, Talion builds Orc troops to help us rule the area.

So this system is the main uniqueness in the series Shadow of War, while creating the sensation of the game on a wider scale. The ability to make other Ords as our companion is already offered in the first series. But this time, using larger and more complex systems to make it more important on the side of the given gameplay, because we can do it to make our game progress easier.

Faced with the Army that will contain the leadership structure of the Sauron forces in the area we choose, we should be able to master the main Fortress of each area to get a special reward. Led by every one called Overlord, we can not go straight in, we must have a strategy to do to do it. as we have to subordinate subordinates directly from the Overlord Warchief. To be able to subdue Warchief, we can directly frontal or use our influence every position of Captain that is lower structure under Warchief. we can also capture the orcs with a green symbol on top of their heads to unlock any related intelligence information of any Captain, Warchief, or Overlord. in that way also we can know the names, forms, strengths, and weaknesses in each troops in the notice to us.
