Description

The fantasy universe of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time book series forms the basis for this action / strategy / role playing hybrid. Although the graphics engine is taken from Unreal, this is not a game of all-guns-blazing action.

For thousands of years The Dark One has been trapped, but now the four keys keeping him sealed have been found. It is your job to lead the forces to collect all four together. In doing so you must command a vast army and make use of over 40 magical artifacts, which can produce fireballs, healing spells and the ability to send a tremor through the Earth.

Visual effects include smokelets and rain drops. There are three multiplayer game modes - Arena is a straight-ahead FPS type challenge, whilst Citadel and Team include the game's strategic elements.
