Inaria Released

Viridian Games’ Ultima-inspired RPG Inaria flew under our radar up until now, but I suppose it’s never too late to mention that the game is now available for the easy-to-swallow price of $4.99. Check out our profile page or the official website for some media, or simply make your purchasing decision based on the description:

Return with us to the days when men were sprites (and so were women and dragons and kings). When 256 colors seemed like a luxury and games were known more for their gameplay than their flashy graphics. Inaria is a game created in that style, but with modern interface conveniences that make it easier to play, giving the best of both worlds.

Inaria is a land divided. The above-dwelling Humans and the subterranean Slorn had long been at peace.until a new Slorn King pushed his people into war with the surface. Many cities fell to the Slorn onslaught, but one held Emerald, the last free city of Inaria.

As a citizen of Emerald, you’ve decided that it’s time for you to join the fight. While the main forces prepare their defenses, King Gianfranco sends you on a seemingly impossible mission.to destroy the Slorn King himself.

Inaria features:

– Classically inspired graphics
– Huge dungeons to exlore
– Tons of different enemies to fight
– RPG mechanics that reward you no matter how you choose to create your character
– A plot of intrigue and deception, where things aren’t as simple as they seem
– Superb retro-styled music courtesy of (and available for purchase from) H. Arnold Jones
– Small and fast Inaria runs on any Windows computer, including netbooks!
