Eurogamer : What's the relationship between the game and Jason and the Argonauts? Charley Price : In Rise of the Argonauts, you take on the role of Jason, a young warrior king whose bride is assassinated on their wedding day.
In order to bring her back, Jason sets out aboard his massive warship, the Argo, in search of the Golden Fleece - a mantle of judgement that is the only known artefact that can unmake death. Along the way, Jason will encounter a host of characters from Greek Mythology, including Hercules, Atalanta, and others - and recruit them to join him as Argonauts on his journey.
As such, Rise of the Argonauts is essentially a creative retelling of the classic story with a greater focus on exploring the world of ancient mythological Greece, and giving players the opportunity to really explore and interact with the legendary people and places which are part of that world. Those who are familiar with the classic story will certainly recognize key characters and defining moments represented in our game. Eurogamer : What's the headline-grabbing part of it?
What's going to grab people's attention? Furthermore, because Jason's progression is tied to his favour with the gods, Jason's powers and abilities will grow by virtue of everything you do - be it a cunning choice in dialogue or decapitating a foe in combat. Every choice matters In Rise of the Argonauts.
Rise of the Argonauts also sports real-time, lethal combat unlike any you've ever seen in an RPG. Rather than stabbing someone 20 times in the chest before they fall down, in our game, when blade meets flesh, expect lethal consequences. Bypass an enemy's shield by deflecting an attack, dodging around, or simply smashing through it with your mace , and they will no doubt meet a quick and bloody end.
Using our procedural animation system, Jason will target enemies independently - his shield rising to block an attack from the left as his right arm swings outwards, decapitating an enemy on his right - all with the touch of a button. Every combat encounter is unique, every encounter is lethal. Eurogamer : How would you characterize the gameplay?
Charley Price : Rise of the Argonauts' combat system is deceptively simple, but very meaningful and rewarding in a number of new and interesting ways. Because we have the potential for one-hit kills based on hitting enemy flesh and the ability to procedurally animate characters, every fight becomes unique. A shield bash will use physics to impact an enemy's shield out of the way, potentially leaving them open for a deadly thrust of the spear.
As such, watching for and creating vulnerabilities becomes simple and rewarding. Our combat system genuinely reinforces the deadly laws of cause and effect that you would expect in a film or in reality - which, combined with dynamic animations, creates a whole new combat experience.
So many games that rely on action and pre-set animations for their characters end up feeling dry and repetitive as the game progresses.
