This gave us a huge taste of the progression system in Durango, which reminded us a lot of RuneScape. We also crafted a massive two-handed knife and some bark armour, then honed our combat skills on a variety of dinosaurs. Still, we tamed a dinosaur and made it our mount, which helped speed up our exploration of the island. It will likely help out players that are new to survival games but it’s quite frustrating to everyone else – particularly after that lengthy tutorial. Initially, Durango wants to lead you by the hand and send you on a wide variety of quests. This is where the game’s MMO elements come into play, as you’ll gather, battle, explore, and craft alongside your fellow players. Day Two:ĭurango really opened up today as we entered the Untamed Lands for the first time. These areas are where the MMO elements come in, as you’re actively playing with other players in real-time. Once you’ve set up your base you can travel to different islands and scavenge for resources. Initially, this will consist of a small sign and a makeshift tent but, given that we literally own the whole island, it won’t be long before we’re building new stuff. You’ll meet fellow survivors (who don’t act at all like real people but hey, this is a pretty fantastical game as it is), craft yourself some pants out of leaves, and make a nice stone axe to hit trees and rocks with.Įventually, you’ll take a balloon ride to a different island and start to build your own base. It features Survival and MMO Mechanics, Which Go Together Well The first hour is basically a massive tutorial, getting you to grips with gathering resources, crafting items, taking on quests, and battling more monsters. When the train eventually crashes and we’re revived by a mysterious lady called K, we get our first taste of survival in the world of Durango. It can be quite tricky to get the timing right on certain attacks but we really liked the strategy. Monsters glow yellow when they’re about to attack and you have to hit the dodge button to have your character automatically dodge the next attack. Initially this is a simple auto-attack, kick, and dodge, but it grows over time as you earn more combat experience. Tap on a monster to initiate an attack then you’ll select from a bunch of different skills to unleash in real-time. You’ll get your first taste of combat against one of the giant lizards and it’s surprisingly strategic.
