Path of Titans, the tried and tested dinosaur-themed MMORPG

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs? Surely someone will be there, but it is undeniable that these diverse and often gigantic creatures hold great appeal. It’s no coincidence that there are constantly new products dedicated to them: sometimes we are asked to create a theme park for them to live in, sometimes they have to be destroyed like monsters, sometimes they have to put on their clothes. , as are. in MMORPG Way of the Titans.

already available computer and mobilePath of Titans has also arrived recently Switch, PlayStation and Xbox in beta. It’s actually a game still in full development, a kind of early access that will evolve over months with new content and mechanics.

However, we had the opportunity to try it out and learn what the foundations of the game are built on. here is ours Path of Titans trial.

Lifecycle

Path of Titans, as stated, is a MMORPG We will have the possibility to control one of 26 different dinosaurs (if you buy the Founder’s Pack, otherwise the options are minimal). The creatures present are divided between herbivores and carnivores, with several species for each group. We will find dinosaurs such as Alioramus, Albertaceratops, Amargasaurus, Daspletosaurus and Sarcosuchus.

We won’t have immediate control over the adult-sized creature, but we’ll start with a younger version and have to do it. Survive Inside a huge 64 square kilometer map. We will have to take care not to be eliminated by stronger players than us, but also to eat and drink in order not to die, which includes some penalties.

Frankly, herbivores they eat vegetation while I carnivores They must either feed on carrion found around them or hunt harmless little creatures to track them down in certain places. Of course, it is also possible to hunt other players.

In this case you will have to test your own dinosaur. Every living thing has its own characteristics Statisticsrelated to health, defense, speed of movement on land and water, and energy available for running. Also, the level of growth matters: a young carnivorous dinosaur will struggle to compete with a herbivore at the end of its cycle.

this war they also depend on active skills. There are several types of attacks that vary depending on the creature. An Alioramus can easily use its jaws, while an Eotriceratops can charge it with its head. But there are also tail movements and other movements, for example. It’s also important to take advantage of your dinosaur’s agility, because a small and fast creature can take advantage of the slow turn of a larger opponent. Combat is simple and does work even though it’s not very visually effective, but sometimes the problem is finding someone on the map.

Map and activities

As mentioned earlier, Path of Titans takes us to a 8 x 8 kilometer map. It is a vast area of ​​forests, hills and meadows. The server can hold up to 200 players, but obviously that doesn’t mean that many people are always connected. Given the size of the game world, it’s easy for a player to explore for a long time without meeting anyone.

Interaction with other players is not very important and in fact this should be avoided in the beginning as we will have control of a puppy that is difficult to fight. To become an adult you have to save up experience pointsrewarded for completing quests such as searching for plants and reaching certain locations.

These are very basic missions that require you to simply walk where the minimap indicates and stop from time to time to restore your dedicated stamina for running. It’s easy to find yourself doing nothing but moving for minutes and minutes.

That’s why Path of Titans is much more interesting, especially when played in a group with friends to talk to over headphones. You can also form groups with the server’s players, perhaps teaming up by dinosaur species to find strength in numbers. On average, whether you’re playing alone or with friends, the events are very limited and repetitive – something the developers need to expand upon.

However, the activities have a second purpose: Brand namesThis is an in-game currency that cannot be bought with real money and allows you to buy skills, as well as colors and cosmetic items to use to decorate your cave, which is basic and can be accessed from various parts of the map. .

Finally, we also mention that there is one available. single player mode: obviously not the focus of the game, but it allows you to immerse yourself in the dynamics of the game without risking yourself online. The game also offers a tutorial that teaches commands and main mechanics quickly and clearly.

Finally, when it comes to the PC version, Path of Titans visually nice, albeit a bit repetitive in their own setting. That said, we can’t confirm that it’s probably the least performing Switch version.
