![]() Geralt and company will come up against a number of creatures unique to the series, with all the other usual fantasy identities and races also present ghouls, elves, dwarves, trolls, dragons and all manner of humans practising magic. It’s not unlike other fantasy worlds seen before: a dirty and squalid middle-age type setting, but it all looks so impressively real. His mission takes him to a number of original locations, wherein the plot deepens and more of this fantasy geography is revealed. To succeed on his quest Geralt can make use of his skills as a swordfighter and alchemist as well as his abilities to cast spells and craft new items all can all be upgraded as the game goes along. The changes are not drastic but it does mean a dip in focus on the narrative could see some narrative threads go unresolved. However, the actions the player takes in the game influences story developments and ultimately decides the game’s ultimate outcome. Those who like their fantasy fiction to go in deep will be right at home here, though it is completely possible, if confusing, to play without having to understand everything that is going on. There really is not enough room here to describe the plot in full detail. Assassins of Kings is an RPG that follows the eponymous witcher, or magically-mutated monster slayer, Geralt of Rivia (one of the many great character names, with Stennis, Zoltan Chivay and Dethmold also being highlights), on a mission to prove his innocence after being framed for the murder of a king.
