Q: What sort of playable characters will be used in Mage Knight Apocalypse?

A: We spent a lot of time deciding what type of characters we wanted for the game and what abilities we wanted them to have. Among the five characters there are definitely some traditional RPG characteristics, we also merged a few archetypes into some new builds and with Mage Knight were able to bring a couple new things into the mix.

All of the playable characters in the game have several disciplines to specialize in and what is unique about mage knight is that it is how you play that determines how your character develops. By using certain abilities you will naturally advance your character towards a certain discipline and thereby unlock new abilities within that discipline. It's a practice makes perfect model of character advancement leaving out some of the tedium of choosing abilities from a tree, players will create characters which play how they like to play and will be rewarded for it.

Our main warrior is from the Amazon Faction of the game, a warlike female dominated culture. The Amazon culture worships several animal deities and through these the player will advance her combat disciplines
- she is a master of all weaponry, combat, and armor. The other four character types will be revealed in the coming months.
