The intriguing storyline, accompanied by the enigmatic narration of Vanarhost, a vampire, and encounters with powerful adversaries like Pelys and Innoruuk, the God of Hatred, adds depth and suspense to the gameplay experience. Initially tasked with aiding the elves in their battle against a formidable orc alliance, players soon find themselves venturing into the depths of the underworld and beyond. The game's plot unfolds across five acts, introducing players to a traditional role-playing narrative. This review will delve into the game's key features, gameplay mechanics, and overall experience, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. With its engaging gameplay, rich storyline, and customizable characters, Champions of Norrath has become a beloved title among RPG enthusiasts. Developed for the PlayStation 2, this game offers both single-player and cooperative multiplayer modes, allowing up to four players to embark on a grand adventure together. When that's coupled with the fact that newcomers can't join a game in progress and the voice chat can be buggy, it's easy to see that the online portion can provide more frustration than entertainment.Ĭhampions of Norrath is an action role-playing game that immerses players in a thrilling quest to save the world. That means that if the host of the game gets disconnected, then all the data from the last save point is lost. Online play for example is a lot of fun, but its can be frustrating since character data isn't hosted on SoE servers.
However, with these features, Champions of Norrath breaks a lot of ground for the genre, even if some of it's a bit shaky.
Without these features, Champions of Norrath would be just another standard, if not well made dungeon hack. Nevertheless, Champions of Norrath still comes out on top by focusing on the little things that have otherwise been avoided on the consoles - little things such as character creation and customization, randomly made dungeon maps, and cooperative online play. In fact, it's identical to nearly every other dungeon hack out there, from Diablo to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Much like the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series, Champions of Norrath doesn't deviate much from the traditional hack-n-slash formula of hacking, looting, and leveling.
