00:00 Hi everyone, I'm André Di Stefano, Game Director on Gangs of Sherwood.
00:06 Over the coming weeks, I'll be giving you an insight into the four heroes available
00:10 in our co-op action-adventure game.
00:12 In Gangs of Sherwood, you'll be able to choose between four characters, Robin, Maria,
00:17 Little John and Toc, each with a completely unique and customizable gameplay style, to
00:22 fight against the evil armies of the Sheriff.
00:24 Today, we're gonna take a look at Robin, the finest bowman in the country and one of
00:30 the biggest providers for the oppressed people of Britain.
00:35 Robin is a fast-shooting archer, with a wide array of combos and special arrow shots that
00:40 can overcome the toughest enemies when his full potential is unlocked.
00:44 When it comes to killing enemies that are out of reach or performing lifesaver headshots
00:48 at critical moments, mastering your bow has never been so easy.
00:51 With his special shots, Robin can hit several enemies at the same time, drill through shields
00:56 and launch enemies in the air to open up combo opportunities for his allies.
01:00 The bow can be used to create new paths that you and your ally can use to get a greater
01:04 advantage against your next opponents.
01:07 Robin's advanced mechanic is a combination of what we call star arrows and shining arrow.
01:11 By doing specific actions, Robin makes star arrows spawn on the field that will home on
01:16 any target that is hit by a mighty shining arrow, which deals extensive damage.
01:21 With his rebel ability, Robin can trigger instant special moves that are a powerful
01:25 means to get him or his allies out of trouble.
01:28 But sometimes, it won't be enough to overcome the most powerful enemies.
01:32 This is where Rebel Instinct comes into play and unlocks Robin's full potential for a limited
01:36 time.
01:37 From having star arrows spawning each time you hit, to getting special arrows that can
01:41 bounce off terrain and enemies, it makes all the difference in challenging fights.
01:45 On top of all this, you'll unlock shards that can be equipped and combined to change up
01:49 your playstyle.
01:50 These have a huge impact on the behavior of your attacks, but we'll dive more into this
01:54 another time.
01:55 Thanks for tuning in for our first Hero Spotlight.
02:01 See you next time!
