Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Combat Trailer Cuts In

Playing as 'the fateless one' in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, you'll not only shape your hero's fate and destiny, but also how they fight. In this latest trailer for the game, there's a look at the combat in more detail, and the number of options available in building your character's unique fighting style.

Will you go for a magical character who can wield spells at all ranges, or will you create a stealthy archer, a barbarian with heavy melee attacks or a blend of multiple styles? Then there's fate energy that you can absorb during battle. Once you've accumulated enough, you can enter a reckoning state to unlock a fate shift kill for spectacular finishing moves using a burst of fate energy.

There's a few tips on tackling various enemy encounters too, with certain approaches being more favourable than others depending on the opponent you're facing. Check out the video for a closer look at the various combat styles and moves, then get ready for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning when it releases on February 7th, 2012 in North America and February 10th, 2012 in Europe.

Well it comes out in Feb, so plenty of time to knock out Skyrim. But honestly this might be good enough to drag you away even if you're not done. There's a lot of great talent behind this and the more I see the more I love. Just wish there was some coop features, but that's not a big deal.

Like 3 said, a lot of talent behind this. Looking very good. The 3rd person RPGS that have come out of late have awful combat so its nice to see that’s a focus.

1@ Nice contribution.

This game looks fantastic! Soon done with my 300 hour run of Skyrim, so I need something else!

THIS is what Fable 3 should have been like. Peter Molyneux FAIL!

In the last few months this game got better and better. This will be a Day 1 buy for me. And by the way, i bought Fable 3 on release, this was my ONLY buy i regret in the new generation console era - im dead serious. Fuck Fable, bring me Kingdoms of Amalur!

What's with the Fable hate? This looks like it borrowed quite a few ideas from it. I can't see how people can claim this is better from a 3 minute video.

This looks sweet.
If it has the exploration and immersion from Skyrim and if the combat is as good as it says in this trailer, it's going to be a classic. :)

Ugh! Enough with giving Claudia Black voice-over jobs. She's terrible at it! I really hope she isn't in the game.

Can't wait for this! Comes out a few days before my birthday, lol. This only comes second to Mass Effect 3 on my most anticipated list.

The combat looks sooo much more satisfying than Skyrim. If they can create a world as intriguing, I'll be hooked.

@15 ummm...mass effect 3

Game looks good. Looks like a multiplayer version would be good, sort of baldur's gate style.
