Description official descriptions

Black Moon Chronicles is a strategy game based on the comic book series of the same name.

The player is cast as Wismerhill, a Half-Elf, who is forced to choose sides between four camps: The Empire, The Order of Justice, The Knights of Light and The Army of the Black Moon.

The gameplay is kind of a mixture between Warcraft and Heroes of Might and Magic. The game contains some art from the comics.

Trivia

The game engine was used in an other game, Persian Wars, also released by Cryo interactive.

Inspiration

As stated in the description, Black Moon Chronicles is based on a popular french comic book. The book scenarist, François Marcela-froideval, used to work at TSR in the early days of AD&D, and Wismerhill was one the characters he played while doing AD&D 1st edition playtesting. In fact some of the game background comes straight from his playing sessions in TSR offices.
