As with any open-world game, one of the most important parts is traversal, or how players will be getting around. As players advance the game’s story, they uncover more of the game’s massive map by engaging in sidequests, missions, and other open-world activities.

So, during the narrative-heavy gameplay experience, players will be largely left to their own devices as Frey and Cuff traverse the world and take on the Break.įorspoken is an open-world, third person, action-adventure RPG. She doesn’t accept much help from others in the world and she doesn’t like to help many people either because she has grown up in an unforgiving, dangerous world.

These Tantas, once glorious and benevolent rulers, were corrupted by the Break and are now evil.

Incredibly, Frey seems to be immune to the break, which is what puts her in the perfect position to fill the role of becoming the world’s heroine. The world itself, though, is plagued by an evil, chaotic storm that poisons and corrupts anyone or anything it touches. After having some trouble with the New York legal system and getting into a conflict with a local gang, she finds herself transported into the magical world of Athia, thanks to the companion character, Cuff – a magical and sentient vambrace that is fixed to her forearm.Īthia is a fantasy world full of magic, dragons, and beautiful landscapes.
