![]() ![]() ![]() It is great to be able to travel as a party and show off all your crafted equipment, but when the game is too easy the cooperative element becomes negligible. This causes the cooperative experience to be a breeze and you can usually kill most of the enemies without any trouble. Unfortunately these meat shields do not scale when you bring your slayer posse along. In single player I found that the enemies could take an unusual amount of hits, acting as meat shields. ![]() Nothing changes in the game other than the missions you are able to do, and some of the bigger enemies are only accessible in multiplayer. Once assembled you are free to take on multiplayer specific quests or get some help with story quests. To get a co-op party going you simply have to create a ‘room’ (session) within the game and your friends hop in via Ad-Hoc or Ad-Hoc Party. Lord of Arcana allows up to four players to play co-op. The most addicting part of the game is the crafting and it is supposed to act as the carrot on the stick, but I can’t help feel that Lord of Arcana is lacking in both the amount of gear that you can create and the frequency at which you can craft your desired items. This seems to be a common theme throughout the whole crafting system - the idea is there but it is not fleshed out enough. ![]() Adding magic was a great step ahead of Monster Hunter but I’m afraid that it isn’t used nearly enough in the game. Throw a fireball and break open their defense so you can get a couple good attacks in. For example, when battling skeletons they will hold their shield and you cannot damage them. Being able to toss a spell out once in a while not only breaks up the monotony of mashing the square button to kill minions but also serves as part of the strategy. Lord of Arcana takes the crafting a step further in addition to being able to build your very own weapons and equipment you can opt to use your hard earned minion-guts to craft yourself some spells. Excuse me but I require your arm for my new boots. ![]()
