New Crimson Desert Gameplay Highlights Castle Siege and Combat
IGN has recently shared an exciting new gameplay video for Pearl Abyss' highly anticipated open-world action RPG, Crimson Desert. The footage provides a detailed look at one of the game's faction quests, where the protagonist, Cliff, assists Duke Wells in reclaiming his castle from a rebel uprising.
Players eager to see Crimson Desert in action can now get a better sense of Cliff's diverse combat skills. The video showcases powerful moves like a devastating spear jump attack and potent magical abilities. Beyond direct combat, the gameplay also highlights various traversal options within the world. Cliff can utilize magical dashes for quick movement across terrain and activate the 'Raven Wings' ability, allowing him to glide through the sky towards distant objectives. A neat feature also demonstrated is the ability to illuminate points of interest by reflecting light with Cliff's sword.
No epic quest would be complete without a formidable foe, and the gameplay video culminates in a tense boss battle. Cliff faces off against Fortein, the Cursed Knight, a heavily armored adversary wielding a mighty sword imbued with supernatural power. This encounter promises to be a significant challenge for players as they progress through the game.
