Harry Potter RPG: 7 New Details You're Not Supposed To Know
4. Combat And 'Revamped Nemesis System'
Wielding the spells of the Harry Potter universe is a tantalising prospect, and it sounds like this game is really going to deliver!
Combat is described as a 'slow burn' but the leaker has been told that the game builds up to some 'insane moments'. Combat is described as being fluid, with a great reliance on both timing and tactics. No button mashing here!
Your character will have an energy system of some sort, which will no doubt tie into the tactical nature of spell casting.
In terms of enemies, you'll be fighting other wizards and creatures from the Harry Potter universe. There's also a 'duel system for rivals' which ties in with a revamped version of the Nemesis system from Warner Bros' Shadow of Mordor series.
In this game, the Nemesis system is 'not as robust as those games in terms of quantity' but is instead 'very detailed on the few rivals it generates'. This system will generate you a main rival throughout the game, unique to your playthrough, as well as other, lesser rivals to go up against.
This main rival can be beaten, killed or made into an ally depending on the way you act throughout the game.
