Stick Them With the Pointy End - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Gameplay

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is the upcoming fantasy role-playing game from EA and Big Huge Games. We wanted to check out the adventure for ourselves, so we sent our own intrepid rogue/mage (we call her Winona Ryder) to bravely fight her way across the land. Check out the gameplay below.

Unfortunately for arachnophobes, giant spiders are everywhere in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. But fear not, we found that a well-placed flaming dagger does the trick.

If you go down to the dungeons today, you're sure to find a big surprise. Kobolds, ettins, boggarts, and many other creatures reside in Amalur, so be on your guard.

In Reckoning mode, our hero can slow time to dispatch enemies faster and end with super awesome finishing moves.

With the combat system enabling a fast switch between ranged and close combat, foes such as this huge rock troll can be brought down with little effort.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will launch on February 7 in the US, and February 10 in Europe. With Skyrim still fresh in recent memory, are you looking forward to delving into a new fantasy world? Let us know in the comments below.
