Life is Feudal: Life is Feudal, But Not Futile

Life is Feudal, But Not Futile

You have to respect a game that uses a very bad (and by bad, I mean good) pun in its title. Life is Feudal is a sandbox MMO led by Vladimir ‘Bobik’ Piskunov and features some very intriguing realistic gameplay. We had a chance to catch up with Piskunov at PAX East to discuss the game and see how it would be different from other medieval or fantasy sandboxes.

Johnny Cage Mixes Star Power and Fighting Prowess in Mortal Kombat X

While official confirmation that Johnny Cage will be playable in Mortal Kombat X arrived just this morning, we already have some great gameplay details regarding his variations courtesy of Polygon, who sat down with the game at Game Developers Conference 2015.

First up, A-List Johnny Cage is able to charge a variety of both normal and special moves, increasing their damage while at the same time lengthening their start-up.

The Fisticuffs fighting style, on the other hand, outfits Mr. Cage with a pair of brass knuckles. A power-up unique to this variation pushes the damage of certain attacks higher and grants access to different combo opportunities.

Finally, Stunt Double gives the veteran a spectral image that performs his signature attacks for him, perhaps similar to the way Kenshi handled in 2011’s Mortal Kombat, and limits him to one horizontal fireball instead of the arcing duo for which he’s come to be known.

But don’t worry, Johnny’s iconic slide and groin-punching attacks will be available across all three variations.

For a deeper look at how the story begins, be sure to give some love to Polygon’s original article.

Mortal Kombat X is scheduled to release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on April 14.
