Harsh environments, energetic punches, and the ever-present specter of death, all of this can be found within the archive of the most recent Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen livestream event. You can watch that whole thing just below if you want, although we should warn you that it’s an hour and a half long. Don’t do so five minutes before you’re supposed to leave for work or a class, that’s what we’re saying here.
If you need the same information in a more digestible format, a Reddit user has helpfully assembled a summary of the two-part stream going over the game’s Acclimation system, the early Monk abilities on display, death, and so forth. Sure, you miss out on gameplay footage, but it includes interesting information about how the combat will get more dynamic through varied NPC dispositions and how enemies will have different tactics and routines based on the situations. Some enemies will be afraid of fire, some will force you to knock them out of cover while they lay down a swarm of arrows, and so forth. Check out the stream just below, or read up on the summary if you just need the details now.
