Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Guide Play Part 25-KJS
0All roads lead to Rome.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.
Like in previous entries, game features two storylines, both starting right after AC2 ending. (Highly recommended to play it before this game.)
In Modern Day, Desmond and his crew managed to escape Abstergo and now they are looking for more clues regarding Piece Of Eden. To find them, Desmond jumps back into the Animus, back into memories of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who just discovered the Vault and returns to Monteriggioni. However, soon he will have to fight Borgia once again!
Brotherhood just like previous games, features open world you can fully explore, but this time it's mainly focused on one, huge location, with few missions outside of it instead of few smaller hubs like 2 previous games used to. This change has not really influenced the gameplay, besides getting a bit repetitve in last sequences where you explored Rome fully and have to wander around in same locations.
However exploration of it remained the same. Some of the places are locked until further sequences, so you won't feel overwhelmed by amount of activities and content.
And there is a lot of content. If you will need to take a break from main storyline missions, you can complete activities, from gathering chests and flags, clearing out tombs, and helping out guilds in their own problems, to races, challenges, or by simply sightseeing Rome in it's not-that-bright-anymore glory.
Why? Mostly thanks to Borgia, which brings me to new elements in the game.
As a centre of their power, to bring Borgia down you will need to take down captains and their towers setup all over the city. This will help you in your missions, as it will make them easier, and it will allow you to rebuild this part of the city.
Rome was not build in a day, and so it won't be rebuild in a day aswell. Ruined and devasted, you need to dive deep into your pockets to renovate shops, aqueducts, and tunnels used to fast travel around the map. The more you renovate, the more money you gather from banks, allowing you to buy more things! (And to renovate more buildings.) And the process goes on.
You can spend money in the same way as in AC2-to buy weapons and armor, paintings, buildings, or to hire faction members which will help you.
Obviously you are not the only one who hates new masters of Rome. Some of the citizens tried to take the matter into their own hands, but failed. However, if you will take them under your wings, you can shape them into Assassins, helping you out in the fights and distraction. At first, with only basic armor and weapon, they might be weak, but as they gather expierience by sending them into combat, or into contract missions, you can upgrade them so they become a ruthless force on a battlefield.
They also have a warp technology, allowing them to pop up from thin air from any place on the map! Just call them, and they will come.
One of the new elements featured is synchronization. While in previous games, completing a memory would be enough, in Brotherhood to get full synchronization you need to perform a secondary task which Ezio did. Those are fairly simple, "kill x using y weapon", "Don't get spotted", "Use x only" and so on. Most of them is enjoyable and easy to complete, yet add a interesting challenge!
Combat itself remained the same. Use weapons, moves, and enviroment to elimiate your opponents. To Ezio's wide arsenal, game added crossbow. Silent, kills every enemy with one bolt. Very accurate, deadly, yet expensive. As for close combat, one major change which, if you ask me, can be considered gamebreaking (or combatbreaking, atleast.)
Killstreaks. After killing an enemy, you can aim at a second one, get closer, and one-hit eliminate him, and continue to do that until you run out of enemies. As you might expect, it changes every fight into a bloodbath, as you can kill one weakest enemy and then just mash M1 to kill everyone. Right, you also, from time to time, need to counter enemy attack, after which you can still go on with your killstreak. This breaks the combat to the point where 1v2 or 1v10 fights are the same level of difficulty. And none of the enemies besides last boss, can counter you and break your killstreak! I don't understand why it is in the game. It ruins the whole combat.
If you will get tired of Single Player, game introduces the Multiplayer mode! In order to prepare new Templar agents for the fight against the Assassins, our lovely Abstergo prepared this Animus-based training program. Be the hunter, and the hunted at the same time in simple assassination modes, solo or with team.
With fantastic location, intriguing storyline, and mostly same gameplay, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a great continuation of Ezio story. 8/10!
