For those of you looking for a new RPG experience that doesn't require an PCI-E video card and 2Gb of RAM may want to check out the following demo. Click here for the full press release. Steven Peeler's (former Technical Director for Ritual Entertainment, has worked on Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2, Star Trek: Elite Force II, and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero among many others) new studio Soldak Entertainment is bringing some experience to a well-loved genre of gaming. I'm installing the demo right now and look forward to protecting the barbarian city of Jorvik and destroying all who oppose me! *cue evil laugh here*
Besides... with the demo clocking in at a mere 64Mb it's worth the couple of minutes it'll take you to download it. =)
Depths of Peril demo now available!
Dallas, Texas, August 16, 2007 - Soldak Entertainment today announced the availability of the Depths of Peril demo for Windows PCs.
Depths of Peril is a single player action role-playing game (RPG) with strong strategy elements. You play as a faction leader protecting the barbarian city, Jorvik, by destroying threatening monsters and completing quests. At the same time, you compete with rival factions to see who will rule the city. Barbarians choose their leaders by fighting to the death!
As a faction leader, you must deal with rival factions through diplomacy, trade, and in time, war. Between battles and raids against other barbarian factions, you build the most powerful faction possible, to withstand your enemies. Building the power of a faction involves exploring a fantasy world, slaying dangerous monsters, solving quests for the city, avoiding deadly traps, and plundering loot to share within your faction.
But in this world, actions actually have consequences, so take care.
Annoying the powerful and aggressive Legion of Fear faction will cause them to declare war and destroy you. Ignored orc uprisings in the Black Forest might lead to attacks on the town or even more trouble. Protect ally covenants that are being raided, because friends are hard to come by.
Unlike many demos, in this demo, you can play all four characters that are available in the full game up to level 7 so there is plenty to try out. The demo is also under 70MB, so there's no reason not to give it a try :)
