According to creative director Axel Torvenius, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle rewards us for using our ingenuity. Although Slot machine games Being tied to first-person shooters over the years, they’ve made it clear that their next game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, won’t be one of them, even though it will be first-person and have guns.
In a recent interview with Edge magazine (via GamesRadar), creative director Axel Torvenius spoke about the same thing, explaining that the upcoming action-adventure title doesn’t encourage the use of weapons and that the focus is on “trying to use your wits and your whip.”
Torvenius went on to explain that having an Indiana Jones game focused on shooting wouldn’t have felt true to the character, before shedding light on how Great Circle will attempt to “emphasize the level of danger” that comes with using a gun. “Indy doesn’t have any superpowers. A lot of times, you could tell it’s not easy for him to fight,” he said. “At the end of the day, he’s a bit of a clumsy professor and archaeologist. He just has this passion that constantly puts him in weird situations with enemies and traps.
After all, he is a professor and a somewhat clumsy archaeologist.
“It wouldn’t be true to the character if he was constantly shooting at every enemy camp, and the team at MachineGames wanted to emphasize the level of danger. We tried to capture that feeling that if you’re going to engage in combat, it’s very dangerous to get shot. It’s also very dangerous to shoot enemies, because they’ll have an alarm system and reinforcements will arrive.” Game director Jerk Gustafsson added that while the game will feature a lot of weapons, given their “loud and dangerous” nature, players will be encouraged to adopt a variety of different options, such as using weapons as melee weapons.
Machine Games can demonstrate that “stealth” games can also be its strong point after so many years of wasting bullets, we will closely follow any news that may arise until its release date on December 9th.
