With all the recent hubbub about the plethora of JRPGs announced, it's sometimes easy to forget that there are plenty of solid-looking RPGs on the horizon from Western developers too. One such that I have had my eye on is Rise of the Argonauts.
Set in ancient Greece, RotA follows mythical Greek hero Jason on his quest for the Golden Fleece to revive his assassinated bride, Alcmene. Along the way, he will recruit famous Greek heroes Hercules, Atalanta, Achilles, and others.
Combat is said to happen completely in real time, and damage will be dealt in a manner comparable to Bushido Blade (as in on decisive strike can finish off an enemy).
For a full list of the game's planned features, I'll refer you to the press release from Codemasters as posted on Destructoid, 'cuz I just don't feel like typing them all out right now.
Though I remain a bit skeptical on some of the features they mention, the current footage we have does show some impressive visuals and solid gameplay. If the story lives up to promises, this could very well be quite an enjoyable title.
Anyway, the point of this article is: a new trailer! Woo!
While the graphics are FMV rather than in-game footage, it is all still very well-done, and looks like the game could be a solid buy. Give it a watch and let me know what you think.
Liquid Entertainment's Rise of the Argonauts is set to be released by Codemasters for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 this fall.
