Smeagol, ready to do anything to escape Mordor and Sauron
The idea of making an action-adventure game where infiltration is an essential mechanic takes on its full meaning thanks to the scenario of the title of Daedalic since it will retrace the spectacular escape of Gollum from the hands of Sauron’s army. Prisoner of the dungeons of Barad-dûr, the puny being will have to be cunning and use a whole lot of stratagem if he wishes to leave Mordor safe and sound to go back in search of his “Precious”. But the task promises to be difficult, especially since his psychic instability, linked to his split personality, will require him to choose his approach carefully: caution above all or elimination in cold blood.
On the sidelines of its release, therefore, Nacon reveals a few seconds of gameplay to us in a new excerpt whichin addition to revealing the few sets that await us, allows us to see how Smeagol/Gollum can escape the vigilance of the guards and the voracious appetite of the creatures that roam this region of Mordor.
