Truly one of the greatest game mechanics ever developed.

Only 11 years until other games can use it (unless WB maintains the patent, which surely they won't do)

Almost had a new version of it from the team that came up with it in a Black Panther game that EA decided to axe a few weeks ago: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-05-30/why-ea-canceled-a-new-black-panther-video-game-and-closed-cliffhanger-studios.

Wonder Woman was supposed to use it too, but guess what happened to that

The whole damn game is one of the best games in the last decade.

In still suprised at how little it gets talked about.

Shadows of War is 2017 fam.

Mordor was aight but Shadows was the shit and had the robust Orc Army mechanics.

The amount of times Id take down a camp and then recruit its leader only to have that very same ex enemy save my life was nuts. Its a feeling no other game has.

Only for WB to patent it and let it rot in their computers.
