A new combat trailer for The Surge 2 is here to give a slight taste on how it has evolved since the last The Surge title
The combat is flowing for The Surge 2 and we have more proof on how it is all changing and evolving. Well, at least a bit as it all seems like Deck 13 is still keeping with the tried and true combat we had in the last title. We will still be targeting limbs and hacking things apart in the world. But as The Surge 2 is just a progression in the franchise, it makes sense that we would get something new mixed in. That is, at least, if you can spot it all in the latest trailer for the game. All before September 24th when it hits the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
It is hard to see much on how the combat has changed in The Surge 2 based on what we have here, but there is a promise that it has been improved upon. Granted, you can see some of the new animations here as the weapons are flying, but there is not much context to it all. It looks pretty, certainly, but that does not make a great game. It will add to it, but not be what is needed to make The Surge 2 a blockbuster seller out there. Have a look at what I am talking about here and see if it will sell you on the game a bit more.
The Surge 2 — Combat Trailer
The Surge 2 brings hardcore action-RPG combat to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 24 — less than a month to go! Depth, challenge, and choice of playstyle define the combat in The Surge 2, highlighted by Deck 13 and Focus Home Interactive in today’s Combat Trailer. Start your path to mastering The Surge 2 by honing your skills in the original The Surge, available for free on Steam until August 29. The game and its DLCs can be purchased at up to 75% off until August 29.
In The Surge 2 you are thrust into Jericho City, a dystopian sci-fi megacity under quarantine, where several factions vie for dominance over the various districts. In this urban jungle, you will be hunted by everything from religious cultists to nanomonstrosities, so you must embrace the oldest law known to humankind — evolve to survive. When faced with an enemy, target specific parts of their body and slice off tech you need to upgrade your exo-rig.
The combat is intense. With 80 weapons to choose from, a directional parry system, dodge mechanics, drones, and a huge range of brutal execution moves, you can approach combat in the way that suits your playstyle. Charge in and pound your enemies into submission with punching gloves or sting like a bee using the spear.
Did you expect that the combat in The Surge 2 would be about the same or were you hoping it would be vastly different? Were you able to spot much of a difference here in the gameplay or was it all sizzle to help sell the game? Is this the aspect of the game that has you sold or was it something else for the franchise? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss. If there is more for The Surge 2 for us to share, we will share it here. Just be sure to keep checking in on the site for all of that and more.
