Description
You are a mercenary possessed by a flame demon in a desperate world ravaged by seven Ice Lords and their Dead-Army.

In this RPG where all your choices lead to consequences, you will have to choose between unleashing the powers of the beast within and rejecting the demonic influence that wants to claim your humanity.

Freely develop your abilities and combat style through three skill trees: swing the heavy weapons of the Fighter, wield the sneaky dual daggers of the Ranger, or use the devastating flame spells of the Pyromancer.

Recruit companions who will live, love, hate and fight alongside you against the dreadful creatures of Vertiel, in real-time epic battles based on tactics and reaction.

The bigger the danger, the greater the temptation to draw on the demon’s power at the cost of your soul… which way will YOU choose?

Coulda been, but it isn't

its has some things going for it, but some of the design decisions are bafflingly stupid. why am i only allowed do dodge in ONE direction? its just amateurish.

Better than it looks

my only complains are the dialogs and the little elemental defence the armor gives you, apart from that its a great story

One of the most underrated games.

I absolutely love this game to death. I played it constantly on the PS3, but was never able to get past the General. When I saw that this game was on here, and less than a dollar, I knew I had to snag it. The combat for the most part is fantastic, though it does get tiring when you get swarmed by a bunch of enemies. It's sad to see people barely give this a chance. Is the dialog good, mostly. Is the voice acting good, meh. It does feel like this game came out a bit too early, like there were a few things left rough, rushed, and unfinished. But overall, I find this game fun as hell and amazing to play. 10/10
