- Players looking specifically for online multiplayer may not find the shared-screen format suitable.
Our take on Abberbury
Players who rely on one combat approach may bounce off at the boss encounters, where each opponent requires a different method of defeat. Those seeking online multiplayer may also stop at the shared-screen cooperative format.
What is Abberbury?
Abberbury is an action-adventure game set in the Dark Ages.
Sire Reed Abberbury and his Viking companion Gunnar travel through Donington Castle to confront Reed’s uncle, Norton, and reclaim Reed’s father’s legacy. The castle contains locked levels, hostile swordsmen, pikemen, engineers, alchemists, and lions. Players must also navigate hazards including pikes, ballistas, axes, and falling rocks. The route passes through several medieval settings, including secret passages, an alchemist laboratory, barracks, a jail, and a palace. Bosses require different methods for defeating them.
