While WB Games continues to present Montreal Gotham Knights leading up to its October release, reaction and reception from fans remain mixed. Players familiar with the Arkham series and prefer the style of fighting conveyed by all three Rocksteady Games titles aren’t particularly excited about the release, while a collection of other fans are.
Based on what WB Games Montreal has revealed so far, along with the confirmed story that it is separate from the previous Gotham central games, it seems that the combat styles and other aspects of the Arkham trilogy will not be present as they want to create a much more unique experience for players.
7 Beat battles
One of the greatest praise the Arkham trilogy mainly received in Arkham City, was the engaging and trend-setting combat in which many other combat-focused games followed suit with its counter-mechanisms. Along with this came the fast and ruthless players who could use it after unlocking it in Arkham Cityand access it directly at the beginning of Arkham Knight.
So far everyone Gotham KnightsTrailers and gameplay reveals have yet to confirm whether or not this will feature in the title, and some fans’ disappointment centered on the battles opting for an evasive mechanic rather than the counter system most players are already familiar with.
6 Boss battles similar to Arkham City
The boss fights in all Arkham City were for fans to remember and remain one of the main reasons for the high-level reception. If WB Games Montreal plans to create engaging and thought-provoking boss fights in their new title, Arkham City would be the most important game to follow and emulate.
As the release draws closer, fans can expect more reveals and parts of the gameplay, and maybe even snippets of boss battles similar to the first reveal where Mr. Freeze is displayed. Players will be excited to see first glances from other DC villains and how pivotal their role will be in this game.
5 Thought-provoking detective work
By the Arkham trilogy, players were able to step fully into the shoes of Bruce Wayne’s technology within the aspect of his detective work. This ranged from investigating murders at crime scenes to locating suspects through drops of blood and much more.
Fortunately for many fans of these features, the most recent gameplay showcase from Gotham Knights revealed this as an important presence in the game while in control of Batgirl. This is one of the most promising revelations for many as they hope to see more later.
4 Challenge Mode
Keeping in mind the idea of practice and replayability, the challenge modes in all Arkham games were a great addition to the fun experiences players had with the story modes. Fans not only had the opportunity to master combat, but could also use a plethora of characters in addition to Batman to take on enemies.
This is one of the most important factors for WB Games Montreal to think about, whether it’s a mode that will be released with the base game, or whether there are plans to implement it in the aftermath as potential DLC for players. to participate .
3 gadgets
Some of the gadgets in the Arkham trilogy have been very beneficial to players’ gameplay experiences as they encouraged them to use different approaches and tactics to defeat enemies. Aside from the hand-to-hand combat that is a prominent factor in these games given the genre, the addition of gadgets was plausible as it opened the door to unique fighting styles.
Given that Gotham Knights will focus on Batman’s sidekicks and apprentices, it’s likely that gadgets will either be left out entirely in attempts to move the gameplay to a more unique style, or they’ll be used in accordance with each character’s fighting style.
2 stealth
Many of the character traits players will follow in Gotham Knights and maybe already seen in the Arkham trilogy, are sometimes central to the idea of a covert approach. Rocksteady Games made stealth an important part of their titles, as some enemies would be equipped with firearms, leaving players no choice but to be careful.
Maintaining this addresses the difficulty of the game, and WB Games Montreal would please fans if they were able to improve stealth to an even greater degree than the Arkham trilogy. Expanding on this might help alleviate some of the criticism of the lack of variety in combat options.
1 Fear of Multi-Takedown
Despite the criticism Arkham Knight received for the overuse of the Batmobile, one of the game’s innovations that stood out was the “fear multi-takedown” that players could use to break apart their enemies in classic Batman fashion. This fitted well with the context of Arkham Knightas fans familiar with the character will be aware of his tactics of using the fear of enemies to his advantage.
So far, it’s unknown if Batman will appear in the game, regardless of what’s portrayed in trailers, similar to Square Enix’s reveal of their Marvel’savengers, leading many to believe that Captain America was dead. If players can only use Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Red Hood, it’s unlikely this will be a feature, but it’s also very dependent on how WB Games Montreal wants to go about it.
Gotham Knights releases on October 25 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
