Setting an end on the Kenway Saga (Assassin’s Creed III, Black Flag, Rogue), you step into the foot of Shay Patrick Cormac, a 21-year old man who was recruited into the Assassins only to be betrayed. Disillusioned, Cormac turns to the Templar Order. It is now time for Shay to have his revenge, the actions of which will put a scar upon the Assassin Order.
The story of Rogue takes place in the mid-18th century during the Seven Years War. Shay will visit various North American locations such as the North Atlantic, Appalachian River Valley, Alabama, New York, and Quebec.
Various characters from both Black Flag and ACIII will make an appearance.
Returning from Black Flag, you’re once again in control of a ship, the Morrigan, this time the ship is a shallower draft which allows the player to travel down rivers and move faster. Unlike in Black Flag however, when you begin ship combat, enemies can now board your ship rather than being confined to their own. You can also release oil slicks which can be ignited. Due to the cold environment, you can no longer go underwater and when in water you are constantly damaged. You will also need to use the ship’s ram to break through ice in order to access various areas. When in the River Valley, a mixture of land and naval based gameplay will be used.
On land you will be fighting with the new air rifle, a deadly silent weapon that allows different ammunition types to be used, all of which have various different effects. A grenade launcher can also be used, which can shoot shrapnel grenades among other things. Lastly due to the nature of the story, you will be fighting Assassins, who possess various skills that in the past have only been usable by the player. From hiding in bushes to attacking from the air, beware of the Assassins. Various other mechanics have been added, such as compass which indicates a target's position or whispers that can be heard when a foe lurks by.
Outside of these however, the game functions many ways similar to Black Flag, even sharing many UI elements.
There is also no penalty for killing civilians.
Unlike Unity and Blackflag, Rogue has neither co-op nor competitive multiplayer, making it the first game since Assassin’s Creed II to feature only single player.
EXTRA STUFF:
Nothing to see here at the moment.
