 
The great wizard Sar-Elam
banished the demons from the realm of Ashan. However, there is one way they
can escape their prison of eternal fire: the skull of Sar-Elam himself,
known as the Skull of Shadows. A prophecy foretells of the Dark Messiah, a
half-human, half-demon child destined to wield to Skull of Shadows and
unleash the demons. You must assume the role of Sareth, an apprentice
trained from birth to prepare for this epic struggle. Using deadly skills in
magic and war, it's up to you to prevent the Dark Messiah from carrying out
this fateful prophecy. Can you retrieve the long-lost skull before it falls
into the wrong hands?
Travel to the deepest recesses of Ashan, where you'll encounter orcs, the
undead, an elusive cyclops and other creatures that are more dangerous and
cunning than ever. Know when it's time to fight and when it's better to wait
in the shadows. At the right moment, launch all-out attacks by tapping into
your powers of magic and wielding highly effective swords, bows, staffs and
daggers. You can also trick enemies by making them fall into bottomless pits
and walk into traps. As you progress, you'll uncover secret levels with new
gameplay options and rewards. Even the multiplayer experience has been
revamped, allowing you to form 10-player groups in Crusade mode. There you
will choose to side with the humans or the undead, and play as an archer,
priestess, mage or knight. Players must unite or they will fail, allowing
the evil threat to return to Ashan once more. |
