Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox is an indie game with the intent to recreate the amazing turn-based, first person RPGs from the golden age of PC gaming using modern game engine technology. Rich classics such as the Might & Magic series, Eye of the Beholder and the like have inspired this new title which, when finished will put its players into a literally infinite fantasy world filled with procedurally generated content. The Sword of Ahkranox isn't trying to compete with the larger, professionally developed RPG titles out there, but instead our aim is to fill a large gap that we believe has existed in game technology since the mid-nineties. It is definitely a must-have for all enthusiasts of the quintessential RPG. The game's procedural engine can generate an infinite number of weapons, items, spells, monsters, dungeons, cities, countryside and even dialogue, allowing the player to explore the game with no end and no reason to stop.
This is an early sneak peek showing what you will see in the official demo coming out at the end of the year!
That minotaur is a beast. Don't you think it's a bit too difficult if the player can get romped by the first encounter?
Hahaha yeah, he's one of the more difficult enemies in the game. When this video was recorded though, no monster balancing existed in the game yet. Since then, the code has been done, so that it's actually VERY rare to run into a Minotaur or an Ogre. At early levels you'll mostly just fight goblins and imps :)
