Anthem is a mix of co-operative multiplayer online first-person shooter and action role-playing game where up to four players share an open world. The new game from BioWare will place you in a world unfinished by the gods where humanity struggles to survive. You will play as a Freelancer, the pilot of a powerful exosuit, tasked with dealing with the dangerous artifacts left behind by the creators of the world. You will explore an ever-changing seamless open world full of ruins and deadly enemies to claim those otherworldly artifacts.
Anthem combines perfectly the single player game with the multiplayer. You will be able to take on missions with up to three other players, in a way similar to other games like Destiny, but after every mission, you will go back alone to your instance of Fort Tarsis. This is your main hub, a city populated by quest-givers, support characters that will take care of your exosuit, and also the place where the single-player story is developed.
As a Freelancer, what mainly defines your gameplay style and strategic role in the team is your Javelin exosuit. Each of those is a powerful high-tech mech-suit designed to boost your offensive and defensive capabilities, and a masterwork piece which performance you will be able to upgrade and customize tailoring its abilities to your playstyle as you develop your piloting abilities.
Four different types of Javelins are available:
The Ranger: the most versatile exosuit and the first one you will have access to. The ranger is the most well-rounded Javelin and it gives you access to a wide variety of weapon types, (excluding heavy-weapons). With two weapon slots, a Shock Mace to use in melee, several grenade types (Frag, Frost, Inferno, Sticky and seeker), and a wrist-mounted launcher able to load different offensive modules (Homing Missile, Energy Pulse, Spark Beam, Venom Darts, and Blast Missile), you will be able to take on any combat situation. The Ranger is also able to deploy support fields that increase weapon damage or deflect incoming projectiles. And if you need an extra bit of firepower, Rangers can rain destruction over a wide area with their Multi-target Missile Battery.
The Colossus: the largest javelin in your arsenal and a reinforced hulking war machine designed to display overwhelming firepower. It cannot use Pistols or SMGs but you can wield powerful Heavy Weapons. The Colossus might not be as mobile as other javelin exosuits but it definitely packs a heavy punch either hammering enemies with its massive chassis or firing massive shoulder-mounted weapons (High Explosive Mortar, Burst Mortar, Firewall Mortar, Lightning Coil, and Shock Coil). You can complement the Colossus destructive options with wrist-mounted Heavy Assault Launcher that can load a Heavy Cannon, a Flame Thrower, a Flak Cannon, a Rail Gun or an Acid Spitter; and also support your allies taunting enemies or with a deflector pulse that boosts damage resistance for a while. As ultimate ability, the Colossus can fire a devastating Siege Cannon.
The Interceptor: agile, fast and deadly. Able to close up into melee to dish out a considerable amount of damage and dash out of harm before enemies can react, the Infiltrator at close range, dashing away before enemies can react, the Interceptor is the exosuit preferred by scouts, assassins, and infiltrators. It can wield any type of weapons but heavy weapons, but it excels at close quarters, where its innate melee ability allows you to chain powerful attacks with Double-Bladed Daggers. Interceptor javelins can load a wide variety of gear to perform devastating techniques, like Seeker Gaives, Acid Bombs, Cryo Glaives, Cluster Mines or a Spark Dash, as well as Strike Systems like Star Strike, Plasma Star, Nova Strike, Tempest Strike or Corrosive Spray. They can also remove status effects from allies with Rally Cry or mark targets for increased damage with Target Beacon. Their ultimate ability allows them to supercharge themselves and rampage through enemies at maximum speed with Assassin's Blades.
The Storm: as javelin designed to be a true glass cannon, the Storm doesn't help much in terms of defensive capability other than maybe its ability to float effortlessly over the ground. On the other side, Storm pilots are able to unleash the raw energy of the Anthem. Being able to wield two weapons of any weapon type, except for Heavy weapons, and with an explosive Fiery Strike able to knock enemies back in melee combat, the Storm would seem pretty standard compared to the other but it truly shines with its Kinesis gear. The Strom is able to load different modules that allow the use of devastating elemental powers: Lightning Strike, Ice Storm, Flame Burst, Rime Blast or Living Flame as Blast Seals, and Hoarfrost Shards, Fireball, Ball Lightning, Glacial Beam or Arc Burst as Focus Seals. Storms can also set up fields to deflect incoming enemy projectiles or provide cooldown reduction to teammates. As ultimate ability, Storms can continuously rain elemental destruction upon a wide area of the battlefield through their Elemental Storm ability.
In Anthem, every time you enter the world you will select a Javelin suit. As you progress in the game you will level up, gather gear, and unlock personalization options, constantly developing both your abilities as a pilot and the capabilities of your collection of javelins.
