Take control of the sword of the greatest hero to roam the lands of Hyborea
- Robert E. Howard's famous character Conan. Having seen your native village of
Grannach burnt to the ground you now
begin your quest for revenge. You will fight your way across the Black mountains
and rivers in search of the cult who brought death to your home. You will have to
master various swords, axes and the mace in order to complete this perilous journey.
As the story unfolds you will find yourself face to face with strange mystical
creatures that test your fighting skills to the death. Discover the entrances to
temples and caves along the way, where you will scale walls, leap obstacles, solve
puzzles and retrieve the pieces of the Atlantean Sword in order to help you in
achieving your destiny of defeating The Vulture Cult. The 3D hack'n'slash elements
are also blended with RPG elements by awarding experience points for each defeated
enemy. Said points can be spent on a plethora of fighting skills which are then
triggered via a simple combo system for spectacular results as you battle hordes of
human warriors and supernatural monsters from beyond. Should you fall to a well
placed blow, Conan offers you the chance to try and regain your honor in the domains
of Crom, were a small arena fight can restore your honor and bring you back to life
and continue the game or damn you to eternity should you fail. Also available is a
multiplayer Arena mode in which you can duke it out mano-a-mano with other human
players as Conan or a selection of original characters. It features the original
licensed soundtrack from the Conan movies by Basil Poledouris. |
