➣ It's an oldschool/boomercore game not by just looks and engine, but by gameplay.
➣ Gory, fast paced shooting, a solid arsenal of weapons and magic items. Combat is projectile-based, movement is essential, enemies are unique and vary in type and abilities.
➣ Sprawling levels that offer a degree of freedom and don't hold the player's hand. Exploring, hunting secrets, backtracking, patience and having to figure out what to do next is key. Monsters and pickups are hand-placed and vary according to the difficulty you play on.
➣ Original story packed with lots of lore and doubled by a permeating atmosphere. Intensive attention to detail and world building.
➣ Original soundtrack ranging from tense to serene ambient, spiced up with bursts of metal. Also, did I mention the legendary Alexander Brandon? If you enjoyed the Unreal and Deus Ex soundtracks, you're in for a treat!
➣ Thousands of hours of work put into an original concept, digitally hand-drawn graphics (textures, sprites, frame by frame animations etc.), scripting, sound effects and level design, all by a one man dev team aiming to create a unique game with a unique atmosphere.
➣ Six to eight hours of good 'ol singleplayer action with five difficulties including Brutalizing, which changes the gameplay to allow interesting second playthroughs (different fights & pick-ups, companions etc.).
➣ It's very light on storage (under 300mb) and well optimized. It's also portable so no DRM and no online ties either - you buy it, it's yours!.
The iron division
A faction of Orcs and Goblins similar to the Amazon, the Iron Division are the guardians of Hedon's greatest secret: crystal technology. Several magical crystals extend along the subsoil, providing energy, heat, oxygen and, often, form complete biomes around them. Combining this power with craftsmanship and the ancient art of magic, the Iron Division has founded a completely new civilization within its mountain fortress known as Valc.
The cultists
Fallen into sin, the delirious shells of what were once human now worship various figures of the underworld. Little can be done to eliminate their addiction to pain and suffering. Little more than a sprinkling of fragrant fire or an explosive ray that is ...
The demons
Chaotic demons inhabit the deepest parts of Hedon, lashing out at the weakest minds of the inhabitants of the Overworld. Throughout the centuries, they have subjugated entire peoples to become their cultic slaves and feed their infinite hunger through pain and suffering. Demons only care about food, and will stop at nothing to do it.
The earthly
Former dwellers of the underground movement, the minotaurs and the dwarves have built their own civilizations, always at war with the demons that breed from below. However, their great cities and their heritage were lost hundreds of years after their inevitable defeat in front of the armies of Hell, and now they have been dispersed and forced to live in small clans and villages.
