Realms of Arkania III: Shadows over Riva

Description

Shadows over Riva is the third and final part in the Realms of Arkania trilogy.

Again Orcs have overrun the countryside of the small coast town of Riva. During their quest to bring these raids to an end, the party reveals a mystic and very exiting story and in the end saves the lifes of thousands of people.

This is the first part which was only shipped on CD-ROM and features SVGA graphics as well as a smooth scrolling 3D world. All other aspects of the game are nearly similar to its prequels.

Trivia

Publisher Topware used Schatten über Riva to conduct an experiment: the game entered the stores as a jewel case version, without a box and a regular manual. However, it only cost 50 Marks (rougly $25) -- about half the price of normal games. Topware wanted to see if a (fairly popular) game would sell more units if it was priced considerably lower than other products. The result was mediocre, and Topware soon released a box version follow-up.
