Description

You are facing Eidolon, the last and strongest of three Serpent Riders, who has arrived from the out space of ether to devastate your homeworld. Choose from four character classes as a Paladin, Crusader, Assasin or Necromancer to fight across the four lands of Thyrion, confront the four Dark Generals of Eidolon, the four Riders of Apocalypse, and a final showdown with the Serpent Rider himself in an FPS developed by Raven Software, based on a heavily-modified Quake engine. This game is unique such that it includes a slight touch of RPG in the FPS gameplay as your character progess in level and statistics when defeating monsters.

Trivia

The different weapons have two kinds of fire mode, not altered by a secondary fire button, but by activating a "Tome of Power". (The Assassin's Staff of Set and Crusader's Lightbringer are the greatest weapons when used in primary fire mode, but its secondary fire mode is plain useless.)
