The world of Hyboria is as violent in nature as it is vast in scope. In this brutal world, conflicts are settled on the edge of a sword, creatures roam the lands in search of throats to cut, and vast battles end with crows feasting on piles of dead bodies. Original author, Robert E. Howard, is famous for his graphic descriptions of raw violence, where sprays of blood gush wildly from the cuts of wounded soldiers, where sleeping noblemen meet silent deaths at the hands of shadowy assassins and where dark magic fills the air as powerful magicians unleash spells as deadly as any sword.
In “Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures” this brutal and barbaric violence is made according to the dark vision of Robert E. Howard. Through a revolutionary real-time combat system, where the player uses a six-directional fighting system to carry out their own strikes, the battles in “Age of Conan” are as dynamic, intense and raging as the ones described in the Conan lore. We assure you the combat in “Age of Conan” will be unlike anything you have ever seen in any MMO before.
A real-time, dynamic combat system that let sword-wielders, spellcasters and archers fight their own battles in real-time -- no more combat on autopilot!
Choose where to attack with six directions of impact in melee combat.
Archers get to string their bow, zoom in on their targets and manually let go of the arrow to make deadly real-time strikes.
Magic-wielders get to create powerful spellweaves -- a series of combined spells that can lead to devestating destruction and other powerful results.
Fight from horseback -- mount your crature and bury your sword into the backs of your foes as you crush through them.
Enter player-made battle formations to maximize your damage and defense.
No more targeting -- when you swing your weapon, you can hit many enemies in one blow if you're close enough.
Discover and equip hundreds of different weapons.
