...Snowblind understand that brutal action is still nothing without a solid story to go along with it, and what RPG would be complete with a highly intimate yet epic storyline and character progression system? Certainly not this one, as Snowblind promise War in the North to feature customisable and upgradable skills and characters complete with a conversation and dialogue system likened to Mass Effect. That's no small order.
The game looks as familiar as one could expect given the strong representations of the Lord of the Rings universe, but Snowblind really have a lot of leverage with telling their story and the unexplored Middle Earth settings we will see in the final product. While staying true to the source, the developer is really able to stretch its creative wings in terms of visualisation of the unseen territory War in the North will take players.
