CheatCode Central provides us with yet another new opinion on the Lord of the Rings Conquest thus far. No real new information in the article, Although the “button-smashing” combat mechanics still don’t get a lot of love, overall, the game is generally positively received.
The game’s battle mechanics are fairly simple, and you’ve essentially got light and heavy attacks. It’s a simple button-masher, but you can also string together combinations for more damage. Context-sensitive controls don’t have as much a presence in Conquest, and it’s in this way that the very simple puzzle-solving situations come up. For example, in one level you’ll have to destroy a few ladders laid up by orcs seeking entrance to a castle. The solution? Swing your sword (conveniently, it’s a fire blade) and burn down the ladders.
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is expected to ship to a store near you in November this year. For more information on the game, visit our ever-growing Conquest information database.
