Dragon’s Dogma 2: First contact with the second part of the famous Capcom RPG

Unique and very interesting characters

The provisional version we had access to was divided into three distinct sections, each containing a character profession (i.e. class). Some heroes with definitely different characteristics and stylesIt changes the gaming experience significantly.

The first one we tried was the archer; It was a class that allowed us to take out opponents from a safe distance, but also had the ability to calm opponents more directly. We then move on to controlling a warrior, the classic character armed with a great sword and its corresponding shield. It’s a pretty balanced type and can perform some really powerful combos, parries, and attacks, perfect for face-to-face encounters.

Finally, we finished the session by checking out a thief; He was our favorite character in this first contact. ‘Dogma of Dragons 2’. This hero, who is fast when performing attacks, can climb by sticking his swords into rocks, is very agile and equipped with exciting movements, completely dazzled our eyes. Three very well differentiated characters… but they won’t be the only classes or professions to appear in the game, considering that others will always be added that are just as appealing, such as the suggestive and powerful wizards.

A world of incomprehensible proportions

Although we were able to enjoy ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ for only an hour, one of the conclusions we can easily draw is that this production will integrate one of the largest and most interesting open worlds in the RPG genre. In the missions that we could carry out with the three controllable characters of this preliminary version, we had the opportunity to visit beautiful forests, dark and labyrinthine mines, swamp areas, towns of different sizes and features, and landscapes with waterfalls. Background… Truly diverse. As far as we can confirm, it is notable that the mapping that this Capcom marvel will include will be on a shocking scale, having been expanded to incredible levels in the final version.

A world that makes us constantly feel that we are “alive”, that is, we do not pass empty spaces indifferently, as in other games. During our journey, we witnessed ambushes by small enemy groups, bridges collapsing at our feet, and surprise attacks. fantastic and great enemies Secret areas full of treasures that can tear us apart in an instant… I can assure you that we want to thoroughly explore every corner of the vast world that will host this mega production.

Pawns: our companions in fatigue

One of the main features of the original ‘Dragon’s Dogma’ (as well as the Dark Arisen expansion), integration of so-called Pawns. Some secondary support characters who accompany us during our adventures and help us fight our enemies. Once again one of the most defining and compelling points of ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’, we are happy to tell you that this feature will be addressed and expanded in this sequel as well. We will be able to proceed in the company of up to three colleagues to manage and shape our team as we see fit to adapt it to the task at hand.

The variety of these allies will be almost countless, and you can even rent pawns from other players and enjoy their experience with said users, which will enrich the gameplay to unprecedented levels. In fact, although we cannot reveal exact information yet, we can assure you that some of the possibilities that Pawns will offer us will be truly original…

Thanks to and despite the existence of these characters ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ will be a single-player game We will always feel like we are in good company. And this will be achieved thanks to the advanced artificial intelligence that these men will demonstrate; We were able to see this firsthand during the demo.

Vibrant combat and satisfying exploration

There are many pillars on which the gameplay of this Capcom work will be built, but they are fundamentally based on two outstanding elements: Free exploration of real-time battles and scenarios.

The challenges we were able to make throughout the game completely convinced us with their speed, dynamism and magnificent nature. And if at the beginning both our character and the Pawns will be somewhat limited in the number of attacks and actions they can perform, as we progress we will be able to cast very powerful spells, equip ourselves with magnificent weapons and accessories and perform devastating special attacks.

Regarding exploration, it will be almost impossible not to deviate from the main predetermined path in order to perform all kinds of secondary tasks, search for resources (necessary for crafting objects) and very valuable pieces of equipment. In fact, during the game, we were able to examine a sort of well full of chests that got lost in the middle of a secondary path, discovering a small village that was very well hidden and guarded by some pretty strong enemies, getting into something of a dead end. The valley that awaits us is a well-planned ambush by rivals…

In short, the feeling that Capcom’s work leaves us is this: will never cease to surprise us again and again andBecause with each game we will discover new incentives to enter its wide world.

Beauty and technical strength

Capcom has proven countless times that it has one of the most reliable and advanced graphics engines today: the amazing RE Engine. As far as we can confirm, it is a vehicle that will show its power once again in ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’.

Despite the huge size of the sets we were able to visit in this demo and the number and size of the characters becoming crowded, we could not detect the slightest technical problem. There’s no significant frame rate drop, screen tearing, or anything like that.

Undoubtedly the best thing is that both the characters and the monsters that populate the background, especially the dragons, trolls, griffins, etc. It was the emergence of great monsters such as. We can verify this without fear of being wrong ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ will be one of the most engaging role-playing games of the current generation.

A huge and immersive game

There’s still months to go before we can enjoy Capcom’s new work, but what we’ve seen so far is enough to convince us that this new action RPG will be one of the most acclaimed games of 2024. There will be very tough competition in the role-playing games category, but we can be confident in the high levels of quality this production will achieve. It’ll be coming to PS5, Xbox Series, and PC next year… sooner rather than later, we’re guessing.
