You have 3 weapons to choose from when fighting the orcs - your sword, bow and a dagger (more about them later). Talking about stealth brings me to our dagger. Not only killing orcs grants some additional experience for stealth kill but it also keeps unwanted attention away. I have to say that even after dozens of hours into the game I still have troubles with the timing on that so I suggest jumping over enemies (vaulting) to avoid it as it works just as effectively.Įarly in the game, you should stick to stealth. The only possibility will be to dodge them by pressing space. Sometimes, however, there will be no chance to counter enemies, for example Defenders (orcs with shields and spears). If attacked twice at the same time, you can press RMB again to summon your spirit to cover your back. What you essentially do, is slashing enemies to bits and when attacked, counter-attack with RMB. It's important to note that the combat can be lenghty at the start as you have no skills unlocked but don't let that ruin the game for you. Have you ever played any Batman game? If so, then this might feel a lot like it for you, I know it has for me. The combat mechanics in Middle-earth are quite straight forward. Who is the spirit accompanying you? What are those Forge Towers? How you will fare and if you will succeed depends on you, every death counts. He's become immortal in a way, Talion might die just as any other human or orc but his the spirit that chose him brings him alive and our hero wakes up at the top of one of the Forge Towers. Called the gravewalker, he now sows fear amongs the ranks of orcs and their captains. However, Talion does not die - he is chosen by one of the spirits to live on and bring vengeance upon Mordor. What follows is a dark ritual cast by the Black Hand while he slits throats of our hero's family before his eyes. Talion is training Diarhael while all of sudden, the screen cuts into a small skirmish with other orcs and Talion along with his family is captured. The story starts on the Black Gate, Rangers' outpost. Talion, our main protagonist has a wife named Ioreth and son, Dirhael.

I will very briefly explain what's happened in the beginning of the game and how it goes down, fear not, free of spoilers.
