An all-new combat gaming experience arrives on PC as GT Interactive Software Corp. (Nasdaq: GTIS) ships Dark Vengeance(TM). Developed by Reality Bytes(R), Dark Vengeance combines combat, exploration and fantasy throughout a vast, graphically dynamic 3D world. In addition, consumers can download a free demo of the game at http://www.dark-vengeance.com/home.html.
"Dark Vengeance raises the standard of combat gaming by delivering a game play experience that combines a new style and depth of combat, traditional exploration elements and an integrated fantasy storyline," says Holly Newman, vice president of Marketing for GT Interactive. "It all comes together via Reality Bytes' innovative game engine that provides highly immersive environments, dynamic colored lighting and numerous special effects."
Dark Vengeance thrusts players into a fantasy world held captive by a magical eclipse that has engulfed the land in a sea of violence. Banished to underground caverns, a renegade band of elves, the "Dark Elves," have risen to the surface to take their revenge on the people of Amagar. Choosing one of three unique player-characters, each with their own fighting style, players are challenged to vanquish the evil Dark Elf forces and end the bloody chaos.
GT Interactive's Dark Vengeance offers an exciting array of features, including:
- Fully immersive 3D world created with Reality Bytes'
state-of-the-art game engine that provides graphically lavish
environments, characters, objects, weaponry, projectiles and
special effects - all with realistic physics;
- 32-player death-match style and team network gaming via the
Internet, featuring dramatically different fighting styles and
attacks, bringing a unique multiplayer experience not possible in
first-person gaming;
- Revolutionary 64-player Voyeur mode, enabling people to watch the
action unfold from within the eye of the multiplayer storm;
- Three different characters to choose from, each with their own
fighting style and reason for seeking revenge, which is told
through an evolving storyline that unfolds throughout the game.
In addition, each character acquires new weapons and improves
their skills throughout the game, adding replay value for
players;
- More than 30 weapons, including the Vampire Staff, Living Flame
and Fiery Fist, and more than 30 enemies, including Dark Elves,
Undead Knights, Woodbots and Demons;
- 16 levels, including unique character-specific missions and
storylines.
GT Interactive's Dark Vengeance is currently available at a suggested retail price of $49.95. In addition, a Mac version of the game is currently available at a suggested retail price of $39.99.
