Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Preview

The folks at Hooked Gamers are next in line with a two-page preview of Ubisoft and Arkane Studios' Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.
In the same way that for instance Deus Ex combined the elements of a Role Playing Game with classic Shooter gameplay, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic attempts to emulate this feat in a similar way. The game features two different character growth systems, one for single- and one for multiplayer. This Role Playing Game element incorporates a loose system that breaks free of a rigid Dungeons & Dragons class based system, allowing you to learn skills freely, devoid of class restrictions. The Experience points for which are not gained per enemy (as per the norm), but instead are rewarded for completing objectives. However, in the multiplayer system, your progress is restricted to one class to encourage teamwork (otherwise your teams would be full of unstoppable powerhouses).
