Griefhelm 1.0

Griefhelm is a great looking battle game featuring knights of the old, the graphics in the game immediately stand out as one of the greatest features and the 3D character models and scenery look absolutely fantastic.

The game can be played alone against the AI or you can play multiplayer up to four players, the first game mode you will come across is Tug of War which is similar to an endless runner where you run along side-scrolling worlds hacking and slashing any enemies that get in your way, admittedly we had some difficulty with this mode as the AI didn’t seem to put up any resistance meaning although it was fun, it was not particularly challenging however perhaps a quick fiddle with the difficulty setting could help us with that.

The other game mode in Griefhelm is skirmish which is a fight to the death, again you can play alone or against another real life player, and this is where we had the most fun dueling it out with other knights, you are able to take three hits before your death so you need to become used to blocking and parrying to beat your opponent.

The game as mentioned looks absolutely fantastic however the game play at times can feel a little bit clunky especially if you are using a keyboard and mouse rather than a controller, but there is definitely an incredibly promising game here and with a few tweaks to the game play this will not only look amazing but be a really fun game too.
