Ninety-Nine Nights: Reckoning

Ninety-Nine Nights: Reckoning (Japanese : ナインティ  ナイン  ナイツ : レコニング ), sometimes known as N3: Reckoning, will be an updated HD remake of the fantasy hack and slash original video game Ninety-Nine Nights, it is scheduled to be released for the PlayStation 4 and XBOX One consoles in the fall of 2013.

The game is being made by the developers Q-Entertainment. Ninety-Nine Nights: Reckoning retells the story of the original Ninety-Nine Nights game and expands further to a new saga in the War With No Name.

Originally, Ninety-Nine Nights: Reckoning was only going to be about the story after the events of the original game, but Q-Entertainment decided to remake the storyline from the original game and combine it with the new storyline. The game takes place in a fantasy war between Humans and Goblins fighting for control over an artefact called the Orb.

Prologue
Long ago in an ancient time, there was a demon, who lead a clan of dark creatures, spreading worldwide fear and destruction. But on the 100th day, the demon was defeated by the Keeper of the Orb and his disciples (the Orb is an artifact that is said to have created the world they live in), since then the demon was known as the King of Ninety-Nine Nights. Peace though wouldn't last, the Keeper of the Orb was murdered and the Orb itself split in two, becoming the Orbs of Light and Dark. The Human and Goblin disciples blamed the other over their master's death, took the Light and Dark Orbs respectively and declared war on each other, the conflict would be known in history as the War of Division, eventually the war ended with the Human forces (with aid from the Arff, elves of light) victorious against the Goblins, who retreated far away to the north. The war's end marked the beginning of a great era for Human prosperity.

Time has eventually passed since the War of Division, but now a new war is about to commence. The Goblin King, Dwykfarrio, has amassed a great army, along with the Goblins, he has gained the allegiance of the Orcs, the Arphann (elves of darkness) and the Outland tribes. But rumour has it that Dwykfarrio has also gained support from an ancient demon long thought dead. As the Forces of Dark are begin to penetrate the territories under Human rule, the Maiden of Light, Ectvarr, summons the Temple Knights to organise and lead an army to fight back against the Forces of Dark.

...

And thus begins the tale of the War With No Name. The war in which only two individuals will stand out more than any other: A female knight in crimson armour, and a black knight with an azure sword.

GAMEPLAY

Those who played the original Ninety-Nine Nights will be able to familiarize with the controls for Ninety-Nine Nights: The Reckoning due to the similarity.The game plays in the similar style to other Hack and Slash genre video games such as Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series and Capcom's Sengoku Basara series.

All playable characters have a normal attack and power attack which you can press repeatedly to perform a combo attack. For a few examples: you could repeatedly press either the normal attack or power attack until the character's combo ends. You can also perform a combo pressing a normal attack then a power attack, for instance: pressing the normal attack button x3 before finishing the combo pressing the power attack button.

Next is the Orb Attack and Orb Spark Attack, the Orb Attack is a powerful move which can be available if you fill up your Orb Attack Gauge by obtaining red orbs coming out of enemies you defeat, pressing the Orb Attack button activates it while pressing again or holding the button enables you to use the Orb Attack. The Orb Spark Attack is an ultimate attack which can be available after you fill out the Orb Spark Gauge. To fill out the Orb Spark Gauge, you must require blue orbs coming out of enemies you just defeated with an Orb Attack, when the Orb Spark Gauge is filled, you can press the same button for Orb Attacks to activate the Orb Spark Attack. Bear in mind that you have the Orb Attack Gauge and the Orb Spark Gauge filled up, press the Orb Attack/Orb Spark Attack button will activate the Orb Spark Attack first.

As selecting your playable character, you get the option to order Guard Units, soldiers who will fight alongside you during battle. Guard Units are split into 5 groups: Infantry (use swords), Heavy Infantry (use Heavy Swords), Pikemen (use spears), Archers (use bows) and Sorcerors (use magic), though some characters have unique guard unit types, Tyrric has a Cavalry Knight Guard Unit, Pyurrot has a Dragon Summoner Guard Unit, Syumerrt has an Expert Archers Guard Unit and both Inphyy and Epharr can use the Female Knight Guard Unit. Dwingvatt, Vigk Vagk and Klarrann are the only playable characters in the game who do not have any Guard Units available to them. To issue commands for your Guard Unit, you simply use the directional pad and the Summon/Release Guards buttons.

In the northern mountains and the Ywa-Ue-Uar forests in the east, there are many Goblin and Orc settlements. The Ogre city of Nandekaziann lies in the mountains south of the forest and in the southeast of Vannvargenn lies the lands of the Outland tribes that consist of the Pwucks, the Gewgs and the Uu.

DIVINE VARRFARRINN

A massive city blessed by the presence of Maiden of Light. At its center lies the Divine Temple of Varrforss where the Orb of Light is located. Another landmark is the City Academy of Wizardry, though only those that excel in sorcery can enter. The Divine Varrfarrinn is heavily defended and has a huge Temple Knight presence, fitting because the Temple Knights fortress is located in the city. Sometimes the Temple Knights practice their military training outside the Divine Varrfarrinn's main gates.

THE BASTIDE OF VARRGANDD

Varrgandd is a city of commerce that rises above the land where the Goblin Army was wiped out by the Divine City Mercenary Unit during the War of Division. The city's symbol is a knight astride a seahorse. With residential wards, broad plazas and bazaars, the thriving commerce of Varrgandd attracts merchants from all over the world.

FELPPE VILLAGE

A little village located north of the Bastide of Varrgandd. There is a small church on a large hill that overlooks the whole village and a large plain east of the hill.

ELZYYON TEMPLE

Once a place of Human religion in the past, Elzyyon Temple is now a military outpost for the Temple Knights and the Divine City Mercenary Unit of Varrgandd. It is located where the Wyantenn and Pholya Rivers connect. The temple holds many scars on its many walls, courtesy of the Dividing War.

VARRVAZARR CASTLE

Located deep in the Everr Mountains, the original purpose of Varrvazarr Castle is that of a human outpost that is meant to separate the Outlands from the rest of Vannvargenn. Protecting the castle is the gigantic Ice Gate which has been the symbol of defending Castle Varrvazarr and the Human territory for hundreds of years. The leader of Varrvazarr Castle is Lord Vydenn, whose family continue to protect their lands from the Outland tribes.

EAURVARRIA MOUNTAINS

A mountainous, desolate place with withered trees, exposed rock and spreading coal. The mountain region spreads from the northwestern edge of Vannvargenn to Fort Wyandeek. Scattered along the mountains are many Goblin and Orc settlements that live in the harsh environment due to having to retreat from the central plains in the Dividing War hundreds of years ago.

RIVER WYANTENN

A long river that begins at Fort Wyandeek, connects with the Pholya River and towards the ocean in the west crossing through the Bastide of Varrgandd. Most of the riverbed is very shallow, enabling travellers to cross over with comfortable ease, the river also serves as the passageway to Fort Wyandeek in the north.

FORT WYANDEEK

The only remaining Goblin army fortress left. Situated in the northern mountains, Fort Wyandeek has been used as a frontline base in previous wars, including the War of Division, acquiring many functions as a key fortress for the Goblins. While there is a heavy Goblin and Orc military presence, Fort Wyandeek is also home to the largest number of Goblin civilians in Vannvargenn, living in the many villages inside the fortress.

PHOLYA FLATLANDS

A rather large area located in the central plains. Scattered the Pholya Flatlands are small, very ancient ruins that appeared to have been part of an ancient city many years ago. The area is separated in two by the Pholya River. Soon, this place will become the venue of the most deciding battles of the War With No Name.

YWA-UE-UAR FORESTS

Sometimes known as the 'Forest of the Lost'. The Ywa-Ue-Uar Forests is where the Goblins retreated to after being defeated by the Humans in the Dividing War. Rumour has it that deep inside the forest, there is a ruin that was once part of an ancient kingdom that existed during the time when the King of Ninety-Nine Nights covered the world of darkness.

TOMB OF THE ANCIENT ONES

A cave of catacombs located in the far north of Vannvargenn. Only the Arrf and Arphann elves know of its existence. It is an ominous place that details the history of a forgotten tribe that no longer exists in the pages of Human or Goblin history.

KALDBRANDD MOUNTAIN

The highest moutain in Vannvargenn. Kaldbrannd Mountain is located at the edge of the southern Everr mountains, surrounded by abandoned, very strategic military strongholds, it is also a passage leading to the lands of Varrvazarr in the north. Kaldbrannd Mountain has been the sight of many battles in the past.

MYYTIIA BAY

Located on the southern coast south of Varrgandd, Myytiia Bay is one of the most beautiful places in the land. However it is also one of the many shores that Humans and the Uu have also come to blows with one another. There are many old and wrecked fishing ships lying on the beach, the handiwork of the Uu's wrath.

DIVINE GLAPHAGAAN

The smallest of the three human cities. Divine Glaphagaan was built on the very site of the deciding battle of the Dividing War that took place which ended in victory for the Humans. The city serves as a major stronghold for the Forces of Light during the War With No Name, the large cathedral of Varrystt is sometimes used as a base of operations for the Temple Knights.

TENWYYGUK TRAIL

A long, hazardous mountain path that leads from the central plains to the Ogre city of Nandekaziann in the east and to the Outlands in the south. Many who travel through this trail feel as if their lives are in peril.

VARRDORR MEADOWS

An area that is north of the city of Divine Varrfarrinn. Varrdorr is also known as the 'Calming Land' due to its beautiful landscape and is usually the route that stands between Divine Varrfarrin and the rest of Vannvargenn. Since the War With No Name has begun however, an ominous presence has been sensed in the area, causing many to be on their guard while passing through Varrdorr.

MEGANNDER FIELDS

A vast, open area of land, Megannder Fields is another place that has been a venue of previous wars. This mighty plain will once again serve as the battlefield for the right to decide future's fate.

NANDEKAZIANN

Located deep in the eastern Everr Mountains is the Ogre city of Nandekaziann, which is ruled by the Ogre Lord Mahginaii. This large city has been able to prosper and become more advanced than the other cities in Vannvargenn due to being the only one not ravaged by war. The handful of what's left of the remaining Goblin population has retreated to Nandekaziann as a safe haven.

ANOTHER WORLD

A dimension where the King of Ninety-Nine Nights rules, banished there by the Keeper of the Orb a very long time ago.

Trivia

 * As mentioned in the first section, Ninety-Nine Nights: Reckoning was originally going to be just a sequel of the first Ninety-Nine Nights game, but Q-Entertainment decided to make a retelling of the first game along with the sequel because they felt that the original game didn't explain much about the game world of N3 well enough.
 * Two stages from the original game were cut for the remake, Outside Wyandeek and Everr Mountains, to make way for two new stages, River Wyantenn and Mount Kaldbrandd respectively. Also, the Icegate and Castle Varvazarr stages from the original game have merged together as one in the remake.
 * Tyrric was originally going to have two spears as his weapons of choice, but Q-Entertainment decided to give him the Heavy Sword instead. Although your custom character is given the option to choose the Twin Spears as their weapon type.
