Throne of Darkness Released on GOG

We weren’t even into the second year of running GameBanshee when the teams at Sierra and CLICK released Throne of Darkness, an action RPG that stood out from every other Diablo clone by going with a party-based approach and being set in a mythical version of Japan in the Middle Ages. And if you didn’t check it out way back in 2001, you can now pick it up from GOG.com for the reasonable price of $5.99. Here’s the official description, for your perusal:

Terror Strides Our Land. You and Your Seven Samurai Stand Between Order and Oblivion.

In the ancient land of Yamato, an aging and power-hungry warlord, in his desire to live forever, has unleashed an unspeakable horror – the demon Zanshin and his horde of monsters and undead warriors. The land is soaked in the blood of your people, and the seven samurai in your party are Yamato’s only hope. Use magic, weaponry, and wits to destroy Zanshin before his darkness becomes complete.

• Command Seven Mighty Samurai – Control up to four fierce warriors at any one time as you face the Dark Warlord’s hell-spawned minions.
• Adaptable Weapons and Magic – Search perilous lands for new weapons, armor and artifacts. Combine elements to forge new items with powerful and unique attributes.
• Diverse, Formidable Lands – Struggle through massive environments teeming with giant dragons, evil spirits, shadow soldiers, and more.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out GOG’s current CRPG sale that runs through the holiday weekend.
