One of the bizarre things about Anthem's failure is that the gameplay.
And the less said about a distraught mother who mistakes you for her long-dead child, the better.Ĭhatting with the bartender at Fort Tarsis. The game expects me to find charming the character of Ryth, an irresponsible fellow Freelancer who inserts the word "sexy" in front of virtually every noun ("sexy danger") I quickly found myself wishing for a dialogue option that would leave her to deal with the consequences of her "sexy bad choices" without me. I quite liked two of the main quest givers: Sentinel Brin, who is socially awkward and abrasive, but who gradually develops into a friend and Arcanist Matthias, whose story takes an unexpected direction after a close encounter with a Shaper relic. It's a Bioware game, so it should come as no surprise that voice acting ranges from good to excellent. The support team - Haluk a grizzled ex-freelancer who now largely acts as a mechanic, and Owen and Faye, two different Cyphers who are haunted by their pasts in their own ways - are generally well-characterized, with just enough bickering and jealousy to believe them as different people with differing priorities but not so much as to alienate them from the player. Dialogue options allow you to be sarcastic or sincere, brusque or compassionate, but the character remains essentially likable regardless. The game's greatest joy: Flying around Bastion in your Javelin.Īnthem actually does fairly well with its major characters.
When they stumble across renewed Dominion activity, they learn that a man known only as "The Monitor" is making plans to enter The Heart of Rage - determined to bend creation itself to his will! Ten years later, one of the few survivors of the Heart of Rage is working out of the small outpost of Fort Tarsis, taking any odd jobs that come up for the now-disgraced Order with help from a Cypher named Owen. Freelancers fought, both to protect the city and to silence the cataclysm. Until the day the Dominion attacked the prosperous city of Freemark, setting off an enormous cataclysm known as The Heart of Rage. Silencing these events used to be the job of Freelancers, famed warriors clad in exosuits known as Javelins.
