While at its core Riders of Icarus plays much as youd expect an MMORPG to, the addition of mounts adds a surprising level of depth to many areas of gameplay, but none more so than combat. With both ground and flying mounts available, fighting enemies atop the games creatures is a significantly more mobile experience than it is in most MMOs. Its still you and the enemy trading blows, but having a mount opens up plenty of extra skills and options, as well as allowing you to dodge and escape targets much faster.

Acquiring mounts is a matter of finding the beast you want, sneaking up on it, and then executing a clunky taming QTE minigame. Some creatures will require you to fight them before entering the minigame, while others will require a more unique approach, such as leaping on top of it from above. In essence its a slightly more tactile version of the capture system used in the Pokemon games. Early into the game the minigames are easy, but the mounts less exotic: getting your very own unicorn is painless, but dont expect it to save your life in a battle other than by galloping away like a coward.

Mounts dont just have to be mounts either. Certain creatures you tame can be used as magical buffs and weapon enchantments, though that does mean you wont be able to ride around looking cool on top of your Woodland Joey. With the use of certain items you can also turn your summonable mounts into permanent companions that will help you in combat as an NPC would. These changes are all permanent, so caution is advised before turning a captured Magma Hound into a seal for a rusty sword.
