New unique action strategy RPG
Soldak Entertainment today announced
Depths of Peril 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 will cause even more trouble. Protect ally
covenants that are being raided, because friends are hard to come by.
Depths of Peril is scheduled to be
released in the 1st quarter of 2007, however it will be released when it’s done.
