#FORSPOKEN GAMEPLAY FULL#
We also don’t really see the full potential of Forspoken’s magic system, which director Takefumi Terada promises is at the core of everything you do in the game… For instance, a pretty core element of the game, the “Break storm” which periodically delivers more threatening monsters to battle, is not seen here. Of course, a mere 4 ½ minutes of gameplay doesn’t show everything Forspoken has to offer. But hey, enough of my preamble, check out the footage for yourself, below. If you’re expecting Forspoken to be the same level as, say, a Final Fantasy in terms of lavish polish, you may be disappointed. Forspoken’s combat is certainly intriguing and its “magical parkour” movement looks fun and fluid, but there’s no denying the game still looks a little rough around the edges. Eventually, she gets into a battle with a large group of what appear to be bandits using a wide array of eye-popping magical attacks. We see main character Frey make her way through a town, then seamlessly glide through a dry, barren landscape. Slickly-edited trailers (like the one shown at The Game Awards) have looked promising, but do they show the game as it really is? Well, as part of a new round of previews, Square Enix has released around 5 minutes of uncut Forspoken gameplay, and it’s sure to get fans talking. Forspoken is one of the most intriguing games of 2022 – it’s not often we get a new AAA RPG franchise from Square Enix – and yet, we still haven’t seen all that much of the game in action.
