The upcoming action RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has all the trappings you'd expect from a role-playing game, but the action portion isn't just an afterthought. In this new trailer, you'll see just how potent your character will be out in the wild, as he juggles enemies in the air, peppers them with arrows, and much more.

In addition to showing off your character's combat skills, the trailer highlights some of the strategies that you'll have to employ if you hope to stand a chance in this magical land. Skeletons are naturally resistant to poison, and going toe-to-toe with an ogre may not be the best plan. See for yourself in the video below. The game comes out on February 7 on the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.

Check out our in-depth video preview of the game, with tour guide Ian Frazier, the lead designer of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
