DUNGEON SIEGE 3

DUNGEON SIEGE 3 DEMO

The Dungeon Siege III demo offers players the choice of two out of the four characters: Lucas, the
Guardian and Anjali, the Archon. Both characters have a wide range of abilities that
they can learn over time and equipment to carry. As well, they each have two separate
fighting stances that they can enter into in order to have access to different abilities and equipment.

Lucas at first feels like a typical grunt or warrior character that is a staple to the
action RPG genre, able to wield big swords, wear heavy armor and generally soak up and
deal a lot of damage. His first fighting stance is more defensive, being that of a
sword and shield, while his second is more aggressive, allowing him to wield a two-handed sword that sweeps at enemies all around him.



The story begins with players as the final remnants of a once powerful stabilizing
force known as the 10th Legion. The 10th Legion stood as advisers to the kings of Ehb
for generations, until after the death of the last king, a civil war broke out which
resulted in the Legion being destroyed and a usurper named Jayne Kassynder rising to
the throne. The game opens with players receiving a letter from an old friend, telling
them he wishes to rebuild the legion by gathering their remnant and descendents.

However, when the player arrives at the meeting place, the enemy arrived there first
and slaughtered everyone. Players have to then battle their way through the estate,
searching for survivors and trying to piece together who attacked them and why.
All in all, the Dungeon Siege 3 demo was a blast to play. Provided that the final
release allows for some exploration and choice, the full version should be something worth waiting for.


Dungeon Siege 3 will be released on June 19th 2011.
