The other vieo looked...well it looked better as the video i was posting before but still...i miss the action...and then i was reading there,,very fast combat''.
I was thinking the directional attacks do you help to hit your enemy better and not only make more or less dmg.

Well...i think im trying it but i dont have very high hopes about xsyon...

There 2 questions left:
I was seeing a lot of weapons like maces in xsyon...are there swords too?
Would you call the combat system in xsyon more action based like in darkfall?

Thanks for the answers.

Having played both mount and blade, and darkfall. I would say its really not close to darkfall. However, comparing it to darkfall and wow. Yes then its a lot more like darkfall.

If you have played darkfall (and I would guess you have). It doesnt have arc'd swings. Parry works in directions not just frontal parry/block.
There is 0 ranged combat. No spells for anything. Melee in Darkfall is mostly 2 hand weapons, and using transfers for healing and readjusting your pools (mana, hp, stamina).
Really its nothing like darkfall combat other than you cant target players you have to aim (FPS style) and you click to swing.

Darkfall's melee is really boring though. Mount and Blade's melee is not. However, its not quiet at the level of mount and blade. I believe I've already said some of the reasons why.


There are no swords in Xsyon. Knives, Clubs, Axes, and Picks.
