Many thousand years ago the Council of Seven in the magic land Rivellon sacrificed himself in the fight against a group of disloyal magicians, who had passed over to the dark side of magic. To remember the Council of Seven, the "Divine Order" was founded to pass on the knowledge of the wise men to the next generations. Two thousand years later signs such as civil unrest, war, hatred and greed indicate that the dark side has become strong again and that they are preparing a new attack on Rivellon. The prophecies of the wise men had mentioned a divine saviour of the Seven Races. This person shall be found and blessed in a secret ceremony before he/she falls into the enemys hands. You are, of course, "The Chosen One" according to the prophecy. But before you can venture out to slay evil, you must be blessed as the Divine Savior. Divine Divinity is an isometric 2D RPG similar to the style of Diablo, set in a completely original fantasy universe. The entire game world consists of over 20,000 screens, each one being a seamless transition into the next with weather effects and day/night cycles. Many subquests and nonlinear gameplay allow much exploration and replayability. Some of the game's features include six character classes with nearly a hundred skills to learn, over 100 different types of creatures and 150 unique NPCs. There's almost 500 skill levels to learn. The interface is among the most useful in any RPGs. The controls are simple, yet intuitive. An automap and journal makes sure you always know where you are and where you're supposed to be going. | ||
