Kyn - New Game Trailer @ PCGamesN

July 9th, 2015, 06:21

PCGamesN reminds us that Kyn is launching later this month:

At a glance, Kyn doesn’t look like it has much to do with Vikings, but its Netherlands-based developer, Tangrin, says that it’s inspired by “Viking myth and legend”. Hammers, goat-drawn chariots, end of the world — that sort of thing, presumably. It’s an action RPG where you control a party of six adventurers, dabble in some puzzles and, mostly, kill lots of monsters.

Kyn uses a “modern strategic combat system,” which translates to being able to slow down time and reposition your party members. You can see it happen in the video above. There’s also crafting, skill specialisations, loot — you know the drill.

It’s a bit peculiar that the majority of the characters in the trailer are casters and archers, but I guess the whole wading into combat with nothing but an axe and a beard gets a bit boring after a while. Even Vikings need to mix it up.

Kyn is due out on July 28th.

Thanks for posting the video HiddenX. I just worry this game will be another dud. So has anyone played the beta, or have an opinion based on the preview videos?

Hmm. I'm not too keen about Kyn, after watching this trailer.
What happened? It looked like to be a good RPG.

This is what Inquisition should have been!

Why isn't it RTwP? The slowing down thing is weird.
The characters look generic and only three active skills is fairly limiting though I am impressed two ppl manged to do that.
