The heroes in this game are likeable enough, although they obviously lack the rounded personalities of the actual heroes from the franchise. There’s the human ranger by the name of Eredan, an all-rounder skilled in both long and short-ranged combat a grumpy and stumpy dwarf named Farin useful for short-range fighting and a female elf called Andriel, possibly the most useful thanks to the protective bubble she can cast over the group, as well as her devastating magical attacks. The three playable heroes are all unique and specialize in different areas of combat.
As for the story, while the game does cross over the events of Lord of the Rings your task will be in the opposite direction of Mordor. The characters are completely new, and given the depth of characters created by JRR Tolkien, that’s pretty amazing. Although not directly based on the films, this game is the action-RPG adventure fans have been longing for since the films came out. To rectify this obvious gap, Snowblind Studios has developed an all-new game based on the franchise called The Lord of The Rings: War in the North. The two games directly based off the Academy Award-winning films were okay hack-n-slash games but they were not the epic action-RPG showpieces fans were hoping for. Jon Stewart once said on the Daily Show: "When someone says ‘New Zealand’ you may think ‘That’s the place where they shot Lord of the Rings’, or maybe ‘Hey didn’t they shoot Lord of the Rings there?’” So it’s safe to say that New Zealanders know a bit about the films.īut as popular as the movies and books are, video games based on the Lord of the Rings franchise have been less than stellar.
