Thanks to the power of the mysterious (and rather daftly named) Gideon Coffin, each sentinal is capable of wielding up to four magical weapons of your choosing, be it a sword, axe, bow, spear or hammer. It’s got all the sharp, crisp combat you’d expect from a Platinum game, especially with up to four people weighing in at the same time, but the parts of the tower we saw during the last closed beta didn’t really do much to capture our imagination. Despite the rather gorgeous, painterly art style, each run at the tower was just one big number sponge battle after another with lots of very empty corridors to run down in between.
