The Secret World Full PC Game Overview

The Secret World Download Free Full Game is a massively multiplayer online role-playing video game set in a modern-day real world under attack from occult forces. Ragnar Tørnquist led development of the initial game for Funcom. The Secret World uses a subscription-optional, «buy-to-play» business model, requiring players only to buy the game with no additional subscription fees, with additional benefits to those members still paying a subscription.

In the game, the player's character joins one of three world-controlling secret societies attempting to repel, mitigate or exploit the attack of Lovecraftian entities and other immortal beings in coastal Maine, rural Egypt, Transylvania and a quarantined section of Tokyo; and advance their society's agenda over that of the others.

The game uses a contemporary setting, borrowing heavily from the horror fiction genre and folklore, with a fog-ringed, zombie-infested New England fishing village for the novice player, mummies and cultists in Egypt for the mid-level player, followed by vampires and werewolves in Transylvania and ghosts, robots, Oni demons and an interdimensional occult cancer in Tokyo. Mission content bleeds into player faction headquarters in London, Seoul, and the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn, and into the game's transport network, along the subterranean branches of Yggdrasil in Agartha.

Unlike many other MMORPGs, there is no need to stop to use most of a character's attacks and abilities; as a result, combat is faster than many other MMORPGs, and movement-based. The character is free (and at higher levels, occasionally obliged) to redevelop their abilities on the go, to better prepare themselves for specific threats or better integrate themselves into a group. Unlike traditional MMORPGs, advancement is primarily through equipment, using experience points to buy additional abilities and more powerful weapons.

Gameplay

Starting a character

The Secret World allows the player to control a character or avatar within a game world in third- or first-person view. This character can be used for exploration, fighting monster, completing missions, and interacting with players and non-player characters (NPCs). The Secret World Free Download PC Game.

The game starts by with the player choosing a «dimension» to play on. This dimension decides which battlegroup the player is placed in within Player versus Player battlegrounds, and chooses the player's default dimension while playing solo. The game makes use of a single server technology that allows players to meet up with people from any of the different servers, both in regular gameplay as well as instances and dungeons.

The Secret World character starts the game by joining one of three «factions»: the Illuminati, the Templars, or the Dragon. The faction determines the character's home city as well as a set of faction specific missions and their allies in PvP. After choosing their faction, the player is taken to the character creator where they can choose their character's gender, height, face, hair, make-up and clothing.

Combat and Abilities

The Secret World offers players a choice between tab targeted combat or a more action based combat where the target is selected with a crosshair in the middle of the screen. Abilities can be activated by pressing a certain hotkey and most abilities can also be activated while the character is moving. The player can choose from 9 different weapon types, which are divided in three categories: melee, magic and ranged. Melee weapons include: blades, hammers and fist weapons. Magic weapons include: blood magic, chaos magic and elementalism. Ranged weapons include: shotguns, pistols and assault rifles.

The player can wield two of these weapons at the same time and the player is also limited to 7 active and 7 passive abilities at any time. Active abilities are further divided between builders and consumers. Builders build resources either on the target or the player, which are then consumed by a consumer ability. The amount of resource consumed then decides the amount of damage that the consumer ability does. The Secret World for PC.

The game has a total of 525 abilities which are stored in an «ability wheel». The ability wheel allows the character to change their class and weapon types at any point in time.[note 1] This differs from the traditional massively multiplayer online (MMO) games that lock the player to a class at the initial character creation phase. The wheel also allows the player to customize the character's roles. There is also an auxiliary wheel which includes a different type of weapons, referred to as auxiliary weapons. These auxiliary weapons can be unlocked by playing specific missions and they allow the player to add an additional active and passive ability for this auxiliary weapon. A total of 5 auxiliary weapons have been released: flamethrower, rocket launcher, quantum brace, chainsaw and whip.

Abilities can be further improved by augments which can be gained by doing a specific set of missions referred to as scenarios. Augments are divided in four categories: damage, support, healing and survivability. Augments add direct increases to abilities such as increasing a certain stat or effect for this specific ability. Completing issue 11 also unlocks a special «ultimate ability» that does a high amount of damage to up to 30 enemies in a 9-metre radius. This ability has to be recharged by killing mobs and can only be used on a mob once every ten minutes. Ultimate abilities have been disabled in PvP.

Missions

The missions come in several varieties. The main plot follows a faction-driven quest storyline. Characters can also take on a main mission, a dungeon mission, faction-limited side quests, and three open side quests. Some missions involve fetching items or fighting monsters. Some missions include a variety of puzzles that are quasi-alternate reality games that require «searching the Internet» for clues with an in-game browser. Investigation missions have players find facts and solve problems, and differ from the hack-and-slash missions.

The Secret World also supports groupings of characters called «cabals». Each cabal is made up of members from a single faction, although many players have opted to develop their own off-game groupings to unite characters from different factions.

Synopsis

Setting

The game features an original setting created by Funcom, with contemporary elements as well as «magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors.» Tørnquist debunked several rumors surrounding The Secret World, stating that «there are no aliens or science fiction elements» in it. He also denied any connection of The Secret World to The Longest Journey.

The game is set in the «modern day real world» but also incorporates pieces of ancient mythologies, real and false history, urban legends, and pop culture, and ties them into an original back-story. The latter is said to go back in time for 100 million years and encompass long extinct ancient civilizations.

The players will assume the roles of supernatural heroes who participate in a «future war between good and evil», fighting dark monsters that threaten the modern world. Tørnquist identified the genre of the story as dark fantasy, features vampires, demons, and zombies. The players will be free to travel across different locations of the world (both real, like London, New York and Seoul, and mythical, such as Agartha, the legendary city located within Hollow Earth and the Hell dimension) and even in time, to pursue the overall plot and investigate new mysteries in connection to the dark invasion. The overall plot has a conclusion but the designers also leave room for future issues and expansions.

1. P. Lovecraft's works, the Indiana Jones franchise, and Stephen King's novels are major inspirations for the game's settings and storylines.

Plot

The player character is granted magical powers after an “unusual” glowing bee flies into their mouth, one month after a terrorist attack on a subway in Tokyo, Japan. After a strange nightmare, the character’s powers manifest, and they are recruited by an agent from a secret society. The character subsequently travels to their faction headquarters where they receive training. Then they are sent to several hidden locations around the world and tasked with investigating several supernatural occurrences.

The first location the character visits is the fictional location of Solomon Island, located in Maine and heavily based on H.P. Lovecraft's and Stephen King's work. Players familiar with the works of Poe and King will recognize themes and even characters based on fictional people in the authors' works. For instance, in Kingsmouth, players will recognize «Easter eggs» from King's work, including «Flagg's Pharmacy», the «Overlook Motel», and «Jack & Wendy's Bed & Breakfast.» Ravens are spotted frequently, a nod to Poe. The island has been surrounded by a thick, impermeable fog, which killed most of the island’s residents. The fog was caused by a cursed sword, which is currently in the hands of a man called Beaumont. Beaumont is working together with the Morninglight, a cult that actively seeks to destroy the world. The sword was originally brought to the island by a fishing boat, and it was closely followed by the arrival of undead creatures known as the Draug. The island is also being infected by the «Filth», a strange substance that usually takes the form of a black tar, which has the ability to mutate and corrupt humans and animals alike. Again, in a nod to Stephen King's work, players come across NPCs with names King used in his novels: Creed, Beaumont, and Bannerman, for example.

After facing Beaumont, the character visits the Valley of the Sun God, which is located in Egypt. The seven plagues of Egypt have returned and a massive earthquake opened the ground, releasing black Filth that has corrupted the land. The cult of Aten is also trying to free the Black Pharaoh Akhenaten from the pyramid in which he has been imprisoned. They are being opposed by the Marya, the warriors of the deserts, and the Sentinel. The Sentinel are the seven children of Ptahmose who sacrificed their lives in order to become statues infused with the power of the Gods. The Secret World Download Torrent.
