Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic

This is shaping up to be the best RPG i have seen since Oblivion and looks like it could be good competition. The Source engine (supplied by Valve of Half Life and Half Life 2 fame) it uses looks amazing and the kills and fight system looks vastly superior to Oblivions i mean wow.... i dont think it will have the amount of free roaming as Oblivion or the length of it but the Fighting system looks amazing and the range of different kills you can perform!

Plus the Multiplayer mode sounds amazing, and ive never seen an RPG like this make one.

Overview

Set in the world of Ashan, which is a dark and unforgiving world, scarred by a bloody history and threatened by an apocalyptic prophecy: the Dark Messiah.

Players will control the young hero Sareth, who has been trained in the arts of magic and war in order to battle the prophetic Dark Messiah. Players will have the choice to become expert warriors, mages or assassins, each with their own cache of devastating weapons and spells to use in battling huge and vicious enemies. Through combat, players will unlock new skills and equipment, advancing Sareth's experience and improving his performance, battle combos, hits, spells and techniques and setting his course for his destiny.

Features:

* Cutting-edge technology - Experience an enhanced version of the powerful Source Engine from Valve, including new jaw-dropping environments and incredible special effects. Discover an innovative first-person view with complete body awareness, realistic movements and physics rendering, making it the first fantasy action game featuring a complete first-person combat system.

* Never-ending action - Challenge the forces of evil in 12 immense levels and learn to master over 40 weapons and dozens of devastating spells. Engage the enemy in intense melee combat with swords, bows, staffs and daggers; or summon magic powers against the legions of darkness and sneak in the shadows to stalk depraved creatures. It's all heart-pumping action, where success in combat will dictate your future.

* The Might & Magic universe's darkest side - Explore a secluded region of Ashan populated with fearless orcs, savage goblins, dreadful undeads, elusive trolls, massive dragons and many other creatures that are stunning in both size and depravity. This is a new and darker side of the legendary Might and Magic universe where the forces of evil are stronger and more cunning than ever.

* A deep and engaging fantasy storyline - Raised by a powerful wizard, the young hero Sareth has been trained in art of magic and war in order to fight the prophecy of the Dark Messiah. But the revelations of his past may alter his course and reveal an unforeseen path to the truth and destiny.

* A subtle layer of RPG - By gaining experience through fighting, players will be able to unlock new skills or equipment in order to improve general performance (damage, health, speed, resistance) and to enlarge range of actions during fights: cool combos, lethal critical hits, new spells.

* A revolutionary, addictive multiplayer mode - Enlist with the humans or the undead, and choose among four character classes. Prepare to battle with up to 32 players in several online modes, ranging from simple deathmatch to the revolutionary Evolution mode, which will allow you to gain experience and new equipment across dynamic online campaigns which feature battling for land and castles.

Re: Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic

Just read in PC Gamer this might be a contender for the highest scoring review percentage since Half Life 2 and Oblivion :D

Odd since it looks like Oblivion and is the same 'sort' of game and uses the Half Life 2 source engine. I mean what game wouldnt be good when combining the two. Hope it turns out an amazing game as it looks jawdropping and im downloading the demo myself now!

The review is coming in next months PC Gamer, and the demo is coming with that issue aswel so make sure you all pick up a copy ;) (UK)

Did some digging around the net, and here is the demo for anyone who wants to try it: WEBHALLEN.com [Dark Messiah of Might and Magic]

Just scroll down and it should be a link there.

It's some Swedish, but go Övrigt: Blah blah Demo.(Misc. Blah Blah Demo) then the Ladda Ner(Download) link on the new page that appears.

Also, check out the Filmer(Movies). The number 4, which is the last one and biggest one, shows some really sweet moments of gameplay.
