While in previous games it was far easier to climb a building or obstacle than it was to descend from it, the downwards free-running ability makes navigating the multi-level maze of Paris far smoother and simpler than it might once have been. One of the most touted aspects of the updates Unity has received is it's "Free-Run Down" button, which allows players to quickly get from high vantage points down to ground level by holding down the appropriate button or key. They range from a "downwards parkour" movement option to a robust skill tree with purchasable upgrades - all new functions for the AC universe.
Several core gameplay mechanics have been altered or added exclusively for the release of Assassin's Creed Unity. This means that players will have to focus their efforts on making kills while out-of-sight of other enemy patrols. In addition to not being able to pick up weapons from fallen enemies, players are no longer allowed to move and dispose of dead or unconscious bodies. This means that as long as your teammate survives, you may want to remain hidden after they've attracted a host of guards to their position.
While a team of Assassins will fail a mission if one of them dies, their rewards are based on their individual performance throughout the mission. However, while not being exclusively competetive, there are aspects of Unity's co-op modes that will pit players against one another. This ability also allowed for the chaining of kills into streaks, but has been removed in Unity in order to make combat more challenging.Įschewing the competitive multiplayer of several Assassin's Creeds past, the focus is now placed on co-operative missions and heists that will earn players rewards of money, Sync Points and more. In previous AC titles, most notably Black Flag and Brotherhood, players were able to immediately kill off almost any enemy whose attack they had parried. While most critics agree that the naval combat in AC4: Black Flag was an excellent component of the game, there are no ships to captain or sink in Unity - that honor goes to Assassin's Creed Rogue.
Other formerly-standard abilities players will need to unlock include the Money Bomb (the NPC lure consisting of a flurry of gold coins), use of a pistol, and the ability to hide on a bench. No longer can players leap off a roof onto two foes below in their first mission - the Double Assassination ability isn't available until Sequence 03, while the 2x Aerial Assassination is locked until Sequence 06.
While there have been new features and mechanics added to Unity, many fans of the franchise will be remiss to find that several staple abilities have either been restricted or removed entirely.Īs noted below, many Assassin abilities must now be unlocked before players can make use of them.
