What the heck is God of War: Ascension's multiplayer?!?!?

[M.U.G.E.N]

Closest it has in similarities is Power Stone. That said the combat is awesome

It has a lot of depth too. Here's how I see it

First off we have the three weapon types

Swords: Fast and precise attacks. Best at 1vs1 moments

Hammers: Heavy attacks with a great crowd control component. Great for stage knockouts and setting up for arial attacks. but much slower compared to swords

Spear: Great for fast attacks, setting up for arial attacks (not as good as hammers) and absolutely fantastic for support attacks

Then we have the different weapons in each category

Each weapon have different strengths and weaknesses. Some are more melee based while others are magic based. Each weapon has different combos unique to them.

Weapons are very unique too..SSM has not been lazy about this. For example Titan blade attacks are fast and if done right can be great when fighting several enemies. The electric pattern you embed on the ground is great!

My personal favorite is the Athena blade. I like how it has a regenerative attack attached to the L1+ triangle move. but it's hard to use against opponents. But the L1+ Triangle is great and I have a easy combo to use with it

Overall absolutely amazing MP experience. My ONE big complaint is (and I have had made this complaint here, on gaf, on the godofwar forums lol)...people STILL can't join a game mid-game. So for example in a 4vs4 match...if one guy quits the game when it starts then it becomes really hard to win..can be so damn frustrating

 

ps: I didn't even mention the magical attacks, items etc. It's like a RPG of sorts lol so many damn option and you need to be smart in how you approach it
