In the god MMO “Skyforge,” the Gunner is a very rugged choice and doesn’t exactly look divine. He is a real weapon enthusiast and could have come straight out of an 80s action movie.
This week we presented the planned combat system at Skyforge in detail. The Allods team said that they want to have a flow in combat in Skyforge; individual attacks should be chained together to form real combos like in Street Fighter or similar games.
The “Gunner” is a good example for such a combo model: Even though he is a ranged fighter, he first fires wildly from his mini-cannon, doing it with so much verve that it overheats. “NP!”, he thinks, “I’ll turn it into a plasma launcher!” With the plasma launcher, he dissipates the built-up heat. And when he’s done with that, he switches to the third mode and transforms the device into a stationary mortar. But: “Why stop there?” A flamethrower is still in there, and he can also call in an orbital strike.
Well, he’s not just a simple foot soldier, but a guy with divine destructive power. And his weapon sounds a bit like the one Gary Oldman is trying to sell to the warrior aliens in “The Fifth Element.”
Gameplay-wise, the Gunner will take on a typical ranged DPS role among Skyforge classes with the self-buff and destructive abilities that come with it. He definitely has the arsenal.
