Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor brought a demonstration of it’s flagship Nemesis system to EGX today, and it was thoroughly impressive. Shadow of Mordor has been developed by Monolith studios and is set somewhere between the events of the Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring where you play as a ranger of Gondor resurrected by one of the most powerful elves to ever live after your death to exact your revenge and his own against Sauron and the forces of despair.

Possibly one of the most amazing things is that in a completely single player game it looks distinctly like no two play throughs of Shadow of Mordor will feel the same or yield the same tales, this is a game to talk about but it seems like gamers will rarely if ever be talking about the same things! When I tell you that it looks like every single orc will be different to one another and even the lowly grunts if left alone long enough can rise to become warlords then you will understand exactly why this game is so exciting and full of promise.

With all the enemies being randomly generated from a list of traits and evolving as they perform actions within the world this system will bring an interesting challenge to an already expansive and lovingly crafted game. It will be interesting what this system can do and we will find out over time no doubt hearing some amazing tales.

We’ll be bringing you more on this promising title in the very near future.
