Fury: New Hands On Preview

Gamespot has posted a new hands on preview of Fury. If you are new to Fury, and not sure what it is all about, this preview lays it out nicely.

Your character starts off with a basic sword and can choose from a variety of professions that each use the game's different types of magic powers--life, growth, decay, and death magic. Each of these schools of magic is used by different character "archetypes," which are essentially preset groups of skills your character can take on at the beginning. However, there's nothing stopping your character from acquiring totally different skill sets later, if you prefer to change things up. Depending on which skills and which archetype you choose at first, your character will end up with various magical powers that may damage enemies at a distance, damage enemies up close, or heal or otherwise benefit yourself or other characters on your team in a team match. Some will build up power "charges" in the four different schools of magic; the more powerful abilities, including area-effect abilities, will expend the charges you've accrued.
