Between the reminders and the careful placement of traps, there's almost no feasible way to not boot a guard into some deadly scenery. You're not-it's clearly been painstakingly designed that way. It's sublime.ĭark Messiah's clever trick is making you feel clever for kicking an enemy to death. Dark Messiah, similarly, revels in giving the player this brute-force shortcut to floppy-bodied chaos. I love this stuff whether it's a pointless touch like Dark Souls' ragdolling bodies, or a key feature like Red Faction: Guerilla's magic hammer of destruction. Game physics are at their most enjoyable when tuned to massively over-exaggerate the player's effect on the world. Your character-Oblivious McDense-may have all the presence of a fart in a hurricane, but he's got a big, chunky foot that will forcefully propel just about anything into just about anything. In terms of pure effeciency, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's most powerful weapon is the foot.ĭMoMaM's kick is a beautiful thing. Technically, melee weapons aren't the most effective way to play either. There are upgrade paths for all three, but neither magic nor stealth are a particularly effective way to play.
Ostensibly, there are three ways to play: melee, stealth and magic. And that genius is wrapped up in systems that, on the face of it, make no particular sense. I say that because, despite the problems, there's genius in there too.
