(Image: Bungie)Year 3 begins. Destiny has come a long way since its shaky beginnings, and today’s release of Rise of Iron marks the final year for Bungie’s shared world shooter, throwing us back into Old Russia to battle a mostly nebulous new threat in a familiar, if snowy, environment. So far, I’ve cruised through the story and peaked into the more long-term goals for the upcoming year, and it’s been a good ride so far. So after day one, here’s the good, the bad and the baffling of Destiny: Rise of Iron’s new story.The Good: It’s good to be back.
The good things about Rise of Iron are, ultimately, many of the same good things that have been true about Destiny all along: this is still an immensely satisfying shooter with rock solid mechanics and an addictive loot system, and getting back on that treadmill feels as natural as ever. It has me waiting for the raid on tenterhooks, and eking my light level forward in order to be ready for it.
This is Destiny, and that increasingly means for the better and not for the worse.On top of that, there’s a maturity to a lot of the new mission and strike designs. We’re a long way from the old “hide in a corner and shoot a bullet sponge” strategies, and Bungie has done an excellent job fitting more varied experiences into the same framework. The same goes for the the quests: the exotic quest to reclaim Gjallarhorn, for example, had a genuine arc to it from beginning to finish, and it all came off as one of the more satisfyingly crafted experiences I’ve had in the game thus far.We’ll have to wait to see how things pan out, but so far it seems Bungie has taken the lesson about being less reliant on RNG, and several new safeguards ensure that you can work toward the gear you want.The Bad: The reskinning gets to be a bit much. We saw it with The Taken King, and we’re seeing it here times two. Not only are the new enemies just reskinned fallen that don’t even behave all that differently from their vanilla counterparts, the new patrol area is a reskinned version of the Cosmodrome with some new areas and snow.
It lacks the sense of discovery that the Dreadnaught brought with it: there are some genuinely cool new locations, sure, but the thrill of discovery is inevitably tempered a bit when we’ve got the same assets from two years ago.Destiny often feels lacking in a sense of the genuinely new, and that’s felt here.The Baffling: The new campaign is short. Think House of Wolves, not Taken King. No sooner is a dangerous new threat to the city unveiled that it is defeated, and the whole thing blows by with little more than a nod to new characters or story exposition. Our guides are Lord Saladin and a new robot who sounds like Nathan Fillion’s cousin, but neither have anywhere near the personality that we saw with Year 2. Right now, there’s only one actually new strike, and the raid doesn’t launch until Friday. It took me only a few hours of play to get to a “where do I go next?” moment.One assumes that Bungie heard the criticism over Year 2 and are planning on doling out new content more gradually this time, and that’s why we don’t have as giant a trove right here at the beginning. Story missions too, seem to be split up amongst quests a little more thoroughly — you see that in the exotic quests that are currently accessible.
But the grass is always greener: the plot of Rise of Iron, as it stands right now, feels truncated, and our introduction to this new world is nowhere near as complete or explosive as what we saw last year.Follow me on.
Destiny Rise Of Iron Walkthrough
Contributing Author: Jasper L Remember the days of Halo: Combat Evolved? Remember getting stuck running in circles because all of the environments looked the same? Well, you can forget that because right off the bat the world design in Rise of Iron looks fantastic. In the very first story mission, we’re treated to snow-capped peaks, rickety machinery, and for fans of Iain Banks, a gondola that reminds me of the gondola in Against a Dark Background. The first mission of the Rise of Iron campaign is called King of the Mountain – beating it will unlock the “Mountain Climber”.Climbing Felwinter Peak in the middle of a blizzard gives you a real sense of vertigo, and the white-out conditions of the craggy, crevassed mountain ridge are a wonderfully atmospheric to the already-great environments that Destiny has to offer. It makes a great playable space, too. Defending the Iron Temple from hordes of Fallen feels just as Game-of-Thrones-epic as we hoped it would.Now, if you do decide to watch the video, there a few questions to keep in mind – not the least of which is how a 400 year-old gondola is still functional.
The second, and more important question, is: Sepiks is pretty obviously already SIVA-fied. Why doesn’t Saladin want it going inside the Iron Temple? Is there something else that’s hidden in there? Note that after completing the “campaign” missions, a bunch of new quests also open up for the player. How in-depth they are remain to be seen, but the prospect of new secrets to discover – SIVA clusters, exotic weaponry, and new characters to meet – is mouth-watering for Destiny fans that have been pining for narrative development.You’ll begin this first story mission by entering a mountainous area and, under Lord Saladin’s instructions, making your way to a gondola that takes you up toward Felwinter Peak, where a Fallen incursion has been detected.
Fallen are everywhere along the way, even shooting at you in the gondola, so keep your eyes up! Scout Rifles and Snipers, the load-out showed in the video, are definitely recommended here as there’s a lot of longer range fighting. Eventually a Fallen ship blows a hole in the gondola and you have to jump out and make your way the rest of the way up on foot to defend a courtyard outside the entrance to the Iron Temple.After fighting off a few enemy waves, you encounter Sepiks Perfected, whom you must prevent from gaining access to Felwinter Peak. It seems the rebuilt Servitor is regenerating due to the SIVA influence, though this is not openly stated at that point.
Aside from a new triple burst shot, he doesn’t seem to have learned any new tricks and goes down fairly easy, granting you grimoire and access to the Temple.The Fallen we encounter throughout are the standard ones we’re familiar with, not the Splicers, so either Bungie is pacing out the introduction of threats or we’ll still be seeing a number of standard Fallen throughout, just as the standard Hive supplemented Oryx’s Taken forces. However, the atmosphere and environment on the way up is amazingly detailed and starkly beautiful, with stunning views of the landscape and snowy particle effects throughout.Although the informative cutscene that will follow the opening story mission is being held back so you can experience it in-game, the video above gives us a clear picture of what to expect. It seems like a straightforward and simple introduction, but it undoubtedly does a good job at preparing us for the rest of the storyline and challenges to come.divider Sepiks PerfectedRemember that this isn’t really a new strike but a re-skinned and slightly-altered version of the old House of Devils strike we all know and love. The biggest changes are in the enemies you face and in some of the environments you encounter. Bungie has made it a bit more difficult to play it safe, so you’ll have to find new places to take cover as you fight your way through the Devil Splicers.The enemies sport new weapons and new elemental shields (you’ll have to reconsider your choice of secondary and heavy weapon, at the very least), and all in all it’ll be a much more difficult Nightfall strike, should it be part of the rotation.But again, the environment stands out.
Rampant SIVA growths have infiltrated the familiar level design, and you’ll have to make your way past some new hazards as you move through the encounter. The snowy Plaguelands give an additional sense of foreboding to run-down Old Russia, and the high-contrast red of the SIVA infection is both ominous and compelling.The largest change is in the boss fight with Sepiks Perfected. Bungie has introduced a new mechanic that adds some welcome complication to the original bullet-sponge format. Sepiks now sports its own elemental shield, and the player will have to use a special SIVA-fied scorch cannon dropped from a Splicer Captain in order to take it down.
You’ll also note the inclusion of the new, strike-specific “Skeleton Key” chests, from which much sought-after loot can now drop.Lore-wise, I’m excited to learn more about what it really means to be “Perfected,” which is a moniker we see applied to a host of Fallen Splicer enemies. We know from Bungie’s official copy that the Devil Splicers are “Attempting to become machine gods themselves,” but we’ll have to wait until the 20th to learn whether or not they’ve actually succeeded.
That said, the new dialog that accompanies the completion of the strike is tantalizing. What is SIVA, really? Who or what is behind its release? And what will we discover once we brave the Wrath of the Machine?“Perfected” or not, the new spliced enemies can still be defeated, and I can’t wait to take them on with the new weapons we’ve been teased.
Getting the player to feel “Epic” as all get out has always been one of Destiny’s hallmarks, and it looks as though Rise of Iron will deliver on its promise to make us feel like a true Iron Lord or Lady.
