Like Until You Fall, Tempestfall uses a mostly gestural melee combat system rather than being heavily physics-based. Though Tempestfall takes clear influence from the likes of the brilliant Until You Fall, it fails to recreate the game’s key innovation-clearly defined combat pacing. Unfortunately the enemy AI is, for the most part, programmed to get right up in your face to engage in melee combat, an area where the game really falters. While it takes a little while to get the gestures and the timing down just right, I found that the spellcasting aspect of the game works quite well and is easily the most fun part of the combat. Raising it above your head empowers the sword to do extra damage on the next few swings. Jabbing it forward initiates a powerful lunging strike. The sword, for instance, can shoot ranged bolts of energy when swinging horizontally.
Each of the three spells is activated with one of three gestures while holding the trigger: raise the weapon above your head, swing it horizontally, or jab it forward. Each weapon can be swung to strike enemies directly, or can be used to cast unlockable spells (three unique spells for each weapon). Players can choose between three weapons and can duel-wield any combination of them on the fly.
While it does the former rather well, the latter is a troubling affair. Tempestfall is a linear action game that combines spellcasting with melee fighting. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar – Tempestfall puts players in the boots of a Lord-Arcanum, the leader of a group of Stormcast Eternals-armor clad warriors who fight on behalf of the god Sigmar. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar – Tempestfall Details: In Tempestfall, the studio attempts to bring melee into the mix, alongside a dark fantasy story set in the vast Warhammer universe, but ultimately falls well short of what it set out to achieve. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar – Tempestfall is the latest and most ambitious title from Carbon Studio which cut its teeth building VR spellcasting game The Wizards.
