Magic plays a big part in Hunted: The Demon's Forge. Beyond tired spells like fireballs and lightning bolts, Cadoor and E'Lara can use magic to help each other, giving magic a fresh and unique role. For example, Cadoor can use a radial levitation ability to lift multiple enemies in the air--making easy targets for E'Lara. On the flipside, E'Lara can infuse arrows with ice to freeze enemies, and Cadoor loves smashing chilled baddies to bits. Also, generous players can bail out teammates by sacrificing magic to help a teammate. For example, If E'Lara gets stuck clashing swords, Cadoor's lightning spell can turn E'Lara's short sword into a lightning saber. Sharing is caring, after all.
When you're not in the mood to party up with a friend, you can play Hunted: The Demon's Forge solo with an A.I. partner. The cool part about playing solo is that you can level up the A.I. character to suit the strengths of your play style. But, it hasn't been determined yet if you can send commands to A.I. partners or not, which will probably play a large role in the quality of the single player experience. Nobody likes to babysit computer A.I., so it remains to be determined how inXile will handle this.
