Description
The world of Tempest is in need of a champion! You have been summoned to embark on a noble journey to save all of humanity from an evil fate. You must keep your wits about you, your sword must stay sharp and ready, and your spells charged as you forge through Tempest's massive landscape. Descend into the maws of many a dark and dangerous dungeon in search of your quest's end.

You'll have at your disposal more than 25 spells and items of great power, each drawing upon one of the elemental forces such as earth, wind, fire, and lightning. Whether you prefer a more tactical approach or attack all-swords-swinging, Anvil of Dawn features a hybrid of real-time and turn-based combat to satisfy your needs. Remember, your choices and actions affect the ebb and flow of combat so think, and act, wisely. Are you prepared to pay the ultimate price, to steal away the gift of a dark god, and journey to the Anvil of Dawn.
  • A tough, but accessible to newer players, classic RPG with a vast world to explore!
  • Features a "learn by doing" skill system without the need to collect and grind for experience points.
  • Customize your character as you see fit as there are plenty of character stats to fine-tune to your liking.

Good Memories

I've been waiting for this game to appear on GOG. I used to run this game on a Pentium 75. I made it all the way to the lair of the giant Ice Worm and got stuck. So close to the ending! I liked the puzzles, they made you use your brain a little. That is something seriously lacking in today's RPG's. My favorite part of the were game "The Clansmen". I originally paid $39.99 for this game when it came out and got many hours of great gameplay from it. This game is toally worth the $5.99 asking price.

Great!

I loved it to the last bit. Absolutely great dungeon crawler. To be honest, it was the first game that brought me joy since 2010.

Finally it's here!

A great game to add to the RPG section, Anvil of Dawn features a learn by doing system. It is a game with great puzzles, memorable NPCs, different kinds of locations, interesting monsters and quests. Well worth the download and money. Well worth it and you'll enjoy this one. 5 Stars

Decent grid crawler

While Anvil of Dawn struggles to reach the quality of Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos (Westwood Studios' dungeon crawler from 1993 and spiritual successor to the Eye of the Beholder series), its heart is in the right place. It has plenty of content and adds features such as rolling bolders, pushable blocks, oustanding automap features and pre-rendered, 3d overland travel.

Dark and Beautiful

I may be biased, because I played this back in the days, so do excuse the fangirling. I'll try to be as objective as I can. So let's get the fangirling part out of the way first: OMGERMAGEHRDTHISISSUCHAGOODGAMEPLAYITPLAY! Okay, on we go. On the surface this game seems average. The graphics are on the verge between 2D and 3D, from that ugly period of the 90s where new games looked actually worse than earlier ones. The block-movement is something you need to get used to and the interface is a bit clunky, but when you do get past that, boy, be prepared for some tough puzzles. This game is first a puzzle game and an RPG second. The story is still great and the NPC's interesting and get more and more bizzarre the further you go, but at the core you focus on solving the riddles. The game is very long and no two levels are the same. I suggest you do take a spellcaster, as magic is well made and allows you to do neat tricks along the way. There are some subtle hints that may be easy to miss, so I recommend saving often and having a walktrough handy. All in all, if you like tricky puzzles and some epic fantasy romp, then this game is for you.
