The creative director of the video game affirms that the combat system will not be without challenges; there will be duels.
The era of samurai falls on feudal Japan from Ghost of Tsushima, the new production of Sucker Punch, creators of Infamous. IGN Nordic has had the opportunity to chat with Nate Fox, director of the title, about various aspects of the gameplay. One of the most characteristic elements will be its combat system, based on fighting with katanas. According to the head of the project, the experience will be challenging.
The difficulty will be present in the video game, since "a few blows" will be enough for the enemy to kill us. "The game is very challenging," says Fox. "We have three words to describe the combat: mud, blood, and steel. We honor the lethality of the sword. We have seen samurai movies and people fall with one or two lunges; We have introduced this in combat. Defeating the Mongols in battle will be difficult, but it is that challenge that makes him feel alive and rewarding in victory. You cannot just enter a camp and fight five people at the same time, you will be overwhelmed and you will die, "he says.
Duels that have not yet occurred
Not everything will be battles between various enemies. Duels will be part of the playable system, although they were not shown during the State of Play. "I wish they had appeared," says the creative. “This is a classic of samurai. These battles are incredibly difficult and are guided by personality. They are resolved in the most cinematographic way possible ”. According to his words, "it is necessary to study the opponent and understand how he attacks to win."
It should not be forgotten that the protagonist of the story, Jin, is a man trained on the path of bushido. However, his ways separated from his teacher long ago. "He grew up with the samurai code, but he has to give up certain ideas about what he thought it was to become a ghost and save his home. Without gutting anything, I can say that he has made personal sacrifices in order to do the right thing. ”
Ghost of Tsushima will be released on July 17 exclusively for PlayStation 4. The study has confirmed that the game will last approximately 40 or 50 hours.
