Although the style is very different from the fantasy action games such as the “Dark Soul” series launched this year, the latest masterpiece of the FromSoftware team “Men of War 6: Realm of Fire” still brings a lot of challenges to players. At the same time, the battle mechs in the game also have extremely high customization options, allowing players to use different combinations of weapons and parts in response to various enemies, thereby improving the replayability of this game. However, just recently, a player successfully broke through this extremely challenging action game with the hands and feet of the mecha without using any “weapons” throughout the process.
“Machine Warfare 6” encourages players to try various genres, explore the coordination between mech parts and weapons, and try to find the combination that suits them best. In order to give full play to this feature, the FromSoftware team has prepared a wide range of weapon options for players in this game. Whether it is rocket launchers, Vulcan machine guns, grenade launchers, shotguns, sniper rifles, laser swords and other melee weapons, players can Free mix and match. With these diverse choices, players usually switch to different weapon combinations at any time according to the enemies or situations they face. But a player determined to push his limits took a different path and shared his pioneering work with other players.
YouTuber “ZeroLenny” recently released a short video of “Mecha Mercenary 6: Realm of Skyfire” on his personal channel, showing how he does not equip any weapons, and only relies on the most basic fists and kicks of the mech to break through various difficulties. According to the player, the challenge came to him during a chat with another well-known YouTuber “VaatiVidya”. Prior to this, the YouTuber who analyzed various secrets in the FromSoftware game also completed a challenge of not being harmed in the whole process of “Mech Mercenary 6”. It is mutually agreed that this video inspired ZeroLenny to decide to try a similar Difficult challenge.
Once ZeroLenny discovered that the mech’s jetpack boosted damage and charged enemies head-on, he decided to take on the challenge. He had to learn how to use the mech’s sprint and attack to cooperate, and seize the best time to punch accurately after rushing to the enemy, then retreat back, avoid the enemy and use melee attacks to counterattack. According to ZeroLenny, the most difficult fight he has encountered is actually the helicopter in the game’s opening instruction. In the absence of the various weapons of “Mech Mercenary 6”, every battle needs to spend a lot of time practicing the timing of dodging and sprinting.
It seems that the sci-fi movie “Pacific Rim”, which focuses on close combat with large mechas, was staged in “Machine Warfare 6”. However, ZeroLenny also admitted that this way of playing is actually not as interesting as the general gameplay. Even so, he still used this method to learn a lot of important gameplay skills, such as stun lock, which is a very important basic skill for the melee genre. And he thinks this challenge is not as interesting as other challenges he has tried before, but it is still a fun experience. Prior to this, ZeroLenny tried to pass the whole process with only torches in FromSoftware’s last work “Elden Ring”, or tried to break “Dark Souls 2” several times in 24 hours.
As far as the current evaluation and player feedback are concerned, the latest sequel of the series, which has been on the market for a full decade, “Men Warfare 6: Realm Skyfire” has indeed met the expectations of fans. “Men of War 6” has also achieved amazing results in sales, becoming one of the most successful works on the Steam platform this year. This kind of performance also makes people look forward to the future development of “Men Wars 6” and the entire series.
