Starting the game from scratch. The player has to enter an e-mail address to create a new account

After quite a long load time the game loads to this screen, the character is probably selected at random. The character is animated and moves slightly as she breathes

The options tab allows the player to select windowed or full screen modes and tweak many other in-game settings

Starting a new game. Before they can proceed the player must password protect their account. Then they choose a character from the fourteen on the left and customise it

The player can examine each of the characters on the left and toggle between the characters weapons where there is more than one. On the right are character stats and videos of special moves

Lynn, little girl, big weapon

Lynn's second weapon is a battleshade

Not all the characters are lightly clad women, Karok's weapons are a battle-pillar and a hand canon

The character selected is Vella. On the left are options to change facial expressions, outfits, etc. On the right are controls to change hair style & colour, skin tones, etc

Customising the character's body shape and appearance

Once the character is customised and created the game reveals their backstory. Vella's starts by running into a guy who wronged her years ago

Once the backstory has been established the game's prologue (aka tutorial) begins. This is Vella in disguise

In Vella's prologue, it may differ for different characters, Tieve tries to stop the guard from killing a giant spider that is/was the town's guardian. Good graphics

Vella's prologue: Ambushed inside the church, the cut scene is over now and the game shows the player which controls to use to fight

Vella's prologue: That's the first floor cleared

Vella's prologue: So this is how you get to carry stuff

Vella's prologue: Tieve gets the spider calmed down - for now. In real-time these scenes look very good indeed

Vella's prologue: The inevitable battle. Along the bottom of the screen are Vella's skills, special moves can be activated by pressing the appropriate numeric key

The next day and a conversation with Tieve leads the player into the game where a meeting at the mercenary Outpost awaits

Entering the game for the first time begins with a flyby of the village where our destination is clearly visible as is the route we must take

So we've landed inthe village where there are lots of other characters. There's a handy game tip waiting for us and our route to the Mercenary Outpost is clearly marked

Looks like this is where notices are published.

The camera can be moved freely. The ALT key brings up arrows to other places of interest
