Highly recommend. Game similar to KoA

[OZFugazi]

hi..

i don't normally do this. unless the topic is brought up. however i feel this game deserves a solid mention. i do not own this version of Kingdoms.. i own and have played the original steam version quite a bit though. but since that version no longer can be purchased.. i am posting here.

for those interested in finding "like minded" titles.. i can highly recommend:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1171690/Wayfinder/

this is another "mmo turned single player" title that is very good. so much is "like minded" and well done. it is and can be a bit hardware intensive. but if you, fit within the sys reqs, you should be ok.

all the best.

hi..

good question.. i wrote in a different post, the game reminds me of KoA, Torchlight II and a touch of WoW. all for different reasons really. it reminds me of KoA mostly for the combat. The weighty attacks, clear visuals and enemy telegraphs.. and a much better camera. it's 3rd person perspective with similar dodge and jump mechanics as well. the combat is clean and responsive, with a "less is more" skill set. i have 700hrs in KoA (no longer available version) and loved the experience mostly for the combat and weapon diversity. chakras, staff, hammer.. ect.. all very distinct and well done. i get the same feels with the weapons in wayfinder.

game world has a WoW touch to it, and the game gives the player a house (apartment) to design and furnish. the world is large and colorful.. well done, with its cool art direction.

the game loop is more like an arpg though.. where torchlight II has a map system, Wayfinder goes a slightly different routine, but can satisfy a grind/reward fetish well enough. some people may not like it though. it does leave room for a quick play session in between main games.

it really does deserve a look, if you like any of those games. i would never try to take anything away from KoA.. Kingdoms is easily one of my favorite games in the RPG space, and that feeling of wondering what could have been stings. Wayfinder found its new beginnings kind of the same way.. transitioning from a failed published mmo into what it is today. there are several youtube vids on it.. i would give them a look if still interested.

all the best.

edit: it needs to be edited also that Wayfinder is not as expansive as KoA either.. but could be someday. the replay value is easily there though. cheers.

iv had it on my wishlist for awhile. dont see it recommended much. i like the idea of singleplayer more then mmos so i did like the news wayfinder went singleplayer monsterhunterstyle.

recommendations usually come after release and it will have a big patch before release that will change a lot of things and wipe current saves after that saves should be fine for even after 1.0 comes this year.

Wayfinder is nowhere near as good as Kingdoms of Amalur. Nothing is, really. But if you're gonna recommend Wayfinder, people would be better off playing Wuthering Waves or Tower of Fantasy.

Asterigos the curse of the stars play style is very similar to Amalur problem i have with that game is lack of good map and the saving system.

the dev that made asterigos also made last hero of nostalgaia. such a good souls like game just finished it on another platform. bought it on steam just to give it a thumbs up.

nvm they just had a bundle for sale i got confused.

Isn't that a multiplayer game unlike KoA?

hi..

if you're asking on wayfinder.. it has online coop, or can be played solo offline. solo offline similar to KoA.

all the best.
