???? Hello, Sherwood Builders! ????
As the game's premiere continues to draw near, we return to share some more details about its various features. And today we focus on...
Adventuring across a land filled with opportunities for daring deeds and skilfull feats of combat is a staple of the open-world RPG. We wouldn't really have such games without these features, so they're all well and good, but a proper open world still needs even more variety than that. Their design in RPGs is enriched through various means, a popular choice among them are "games within the game." Sherwood Builders also features such solutions.
Puzzles
Exploration ought to reward the curious, as long as they overcome the challenges that come with it. However, not every one of Sherwood's treasures lies under the watchful eye of an armed guard. Sometimes the enterprising outlaw will have to best special mechanisms to reach their bounties:
- Combination mechanisms
- Lights and mirrors
- Musical sequences
- Combination locks
Just some of the game's puzzles you'll need to solve if you really want that good loot...
Minigames
Medieval times are hard enough, but life under the Sheriff's rule is as far from idyllic as it can get. So, the denizens of Sherwood have come up with some diversions to make their dreary existence just a little better. And no, there's more to it than ale. Plus, Robin can freely participate in these activities:
- Dice games
- Drinking contests
- Archery tournaments
- Some other activities that are somewhat secret and we don't want to spoil for you
Try your skill! It might just be a great way to supplement the resources at the Merry Men's disposal. Or to jeopardise them...
More news to come!
