The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot

This time I'll be talking about a game called The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot (or TMQFEL in short, try saying that 3 times in a row!) which is in closed beta and under development by Ubisoft.
So it's time to grab your Sword/crossbow/staff and get looting!




























"The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a brand new Free-to-Play IP from Ubisoft Montreal for the PC that thrusts you in an outrageous medieval fantasy world called Opulencia where wealth, status and showboating are the name of the game!


As a newcomer to Opulencia, you will hack n slash your way through hundreds of castles designed by the ingenious minds of your fellow players! Don’t forget to show them who’s boss by constructing deadly keep of your very own – in this kingdom, size really does matter!"




What makes this game different from other games? This game is mostly a "casual game" which makes it pretty much suitable for everyone, from hardcore to casual gamers!



Let's go deeper into this game and see what we get.


The "Heroes"

You have 3 classes to choose from; Knight, Mage and Archer, and the gameplay is different for each of them.



The Archer

"With just one application of his signature one-eyed scowl, Blackeye Bowgart can make even an innocent bunny rabbit want to rethink his life decisions."


The Archer has a hawk for companion and is really a neat little thing, but the cooldowns on the skills for it is just too long at the start. Archers other skills is leaving traps to heatshotting the enemies from afar, it takes some time to get used to the Archer, therefore I would rather recommend the Knight.

Oh and you might want to think about your strategy when you dive into enemy's castle. atleast have 1 stun/slow skill so it can actually save you from danger! The Archer has so much to give but it takes time to learn. Caltrops or Beartrap it's all up to you.











The Knight



"As a one-man media empire, Sir Edrick Painhammer has never met an endorsement deal he didn’t like."

The knight is one of the "heroes" (or "villain" if you want) that I would really recommend starting with, he's easy to control and the skill are really helping you a long way in those tight corners. He can wield axes, hammers, swords and polearms.

I'd recommend you to get (once again) 1 stun skill and get some AoE! You really dont need the "cleave" skill on this guy since he has kind of a passive cleave on his auto-attack.

Then again, the Knight has the most fluent controls so far that I've tried of the heroes, No stuttering on the skills or movement (compared to the Archer at times) 









The Mage


"Based on pure theoretical ability alone, the Earl Of Evilosity may be the absolute worst mad scientist in this or any kingdom."

The Mage is using various spells (DUH) from big aoe firespells to death and fear! To be honest I haven't unlocked this hero yet, so my knowledge ain't the best on this one.

As far as i've seen the mages attacking my castle, they are using alot of movement and aoe spells. pretty much obliterating everything in their path, I still wait for my mage to arrive and wreak havoc!














Gameplay


I love this part, you can invade player's castles to gain more gold and power for your own good! it's everyman for him self to get to the top and be the ultimate looter!
Invite your friends to your castle and see them die in at least 7 different ways simultaneously!


LOOTING:

The gameplay is pretty much all about looting your friends and enemy's castle for gold and crystals! how to do it? 
Just knock on their door and kill everything that stops you from reaching that sweet sweet pile of gold in the heart of the castle! oh did i forget mentioning the gear the defending monsters may drop? my bad!

Oh and first of all, you will start against "NPC castles", which makes it really nice for you to farm your gold and crystals at the beginning and of course, hoping for the good loot to drop which could help you further into the mighty quest for epic loot! (see what I did there?)

Having the first runs in randoms castles might be a hard time since they probably have some cyclops defending their castle, which is a pain in the long run. Therefore you could try to go for a risky run and dive deep, chug them potions and hope for the best!
Or... you can just go safe and slow, take the easy ones until you feel you can handle tougher enemies.

REMEMBER THOSE POTIONS!


Leveling system (for me) feels static, you don't have much choice on what skills to level up. The skills are fixed levels and so it the upgraded versions of it. It's not bad, but not really good either in my eyes.



DEFENSE:
























Now this is where you build your castle, make it look superbly awesome or just damn annoying and time consuming for the invaders who tries to get your loot!

At start you just need to get used to invaders managing to get into your castle heart and loot a part of your gold every now and then. Do not loose hope! the time for being the greatest castle designer is now! 

Build rooms, "stations", traps, make a chain reaction pull on monsters when invaders go into your castle and having no clue! Place clusters of monster and even a BOSS in the boss-room into the deepest part of your castle. Make sure that the enemy wont have a chance to loot it! 

You will get money for every invader defeated and even "crowns" which is basically a small part of a "ranking" system on how well you're doing.

About the "station" part: What I'm trying to say is that you have 8 different stations in the boss room. This is where you buy potions, armor, weapons and accessories. Upgrading and hire new heroes and monsters. Upgrading and building trap. Hire workers.... I think you know what i mean, it's pretty much a good ol' "castle defense" theme.



This wraps up the game for now! I hope you had a "BLAST" while reading this and hopefully it answered most of your questions on what kind of game this is and if it's something for you! (or maybe you in the back there!)
