Taming creatures won't always be as easy as completing a little mini-game. Even then, we aren't even close to being done yet. Your collection journal will show you what you need to catch and where to complete certain sets.
From a collection standpoint, collecting all of a certain type of creature in an area could actually net you a reward in the form of a totally different mount.
Creatures even come in varying difficulty (Elite, Hero, and Legendary) and mounts may vary in their combat abilities and buffs. Succeed and you earn yourself that creature as a mount. You can sneak up behind creatures in the world, jump on their back, and play a taming "mini-game" to try and tame them.
What you may NOT know if you haven't looked into the game that much (and it may be hard to have done so with the NDA still in effect until the next beta phase) is just how important the idea of mounts is to the entire gameplay experience in Riders of Icarus. Whether that's the "collection" aspect of taming many, many creatures in the game's world (flying and otherwise are all up for grabs) or because you've heard of the game having mounted combat. You've probably heard by now that Riders of Icarus places a focus on mounts. With all that said though, I STILL can't wait to spend some more time in game. Riders of Icarus features very traditional questing, a traditional hotbar mentality, tab targeting combat (the recently revealed more "action combat" based system wasn't in the preview or the previous beta so I don't have experience with it yet, but is something I think the game VERY much needed and am glad to see it already implemented) traditional creatures, a somewhat generic storyline (at least so far), and basically a conglomeration of very typical MMORPG features. So you may now be asking, "What did you see that you liked so much that you know you're going to play it in the future?" Well, it's hard to say.
I plan to play in the upcoming beta test in early June and when the game moves into open beta/launch in late June/early July (depending on if you've purchased a Founder's Pack to gain Early Launch Access.) I've played in the most recent Closed Beta phase and was able to participate in a press preview last week. Let's get a few things out of the way regarding Riders of Icarus, the upcoming free-to-play MMORPG published by Nexon.
