Players can traverse enemy-controlled areas by stealth or combat. Some towers could also be disabled only the player has the required equipment.

Enemy tower installations prevent Batman from summoning the craft in some areas, and must be disabled to form the Batwing (not player-controlled) available.

The game introduces a quick travel system, allowing Batman to remotely summon his plane (the Batwing) to move him to other areas of the game world quicker than gliding or grappling could. New equipment in Batman’s arsenal include the Remote Claw this enables Batman to focus on two objects and pull them together,Īllowing him to throw enemies into one another or hit them with objects (tethering two walled points creates a tightrope for Batman to cross) Shock Gloves, which permit Batman to dam electric attacks, disable some enemies and stun shielded ones, and short-circuit objects, and therefore the Concussion Detonator, capable of stunning large enemy groups. Returning gadgets include the Cryptographic Sequencer, wont to hack security consoles the Batclaw, used for hooking onto surfaces the Batarang,Ī throwing weapon the Remote Batarang, its remote-controlled counterpart Explosive Gel, wont to destroy weak surfaces and knock down enemies Smoke Pellets, used for stealthy exits and entrances the Disruptor, which may remotely disable guns and explosive mines, and therefore the Grapnel Accelerator, an earlier version of the Grapnel Boost. Some gadgets from previous Arkham games are present at the beginning of Arkham Origins, while others become available during play. Batman can use his cape to glide around Gotham City and therefore the grapnel gun’s retracting rope to connect to hard-to-reach ledges and extend his flight. When a bounty is placed on him by crime lord Black Mask, drawing eight of the world’s greatest assassins to Gotham City on Christmas Eve, Batman must bring Black Mask to justice, while also being hunted by the police and having to face other villains, like the Joker and Anarky, who cash in of the chaos to launch their own nefarious schemes.Īrkham Origins is an open world action-adventure game incorporating stealth game tactics. Written by Corey May, Ryan Galletta and Dooma Wendschuh, the game’s main storyline is about eight years before 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum and follows a younger, less-refined Batman.
