Legend: Hand of God

Legend – Hand of God, a new action RPG by Master Creating, will attempt to break with the traditions of the genre and, thanks to the Cinematic Combat System, orcs, ogres, trolls, goblins and their ilk will not just have different hit-point total differentiating them from each other.

The Cinematic Combat System will attempt to make every monster brawl unique. In Legend, gamers won’t just hack at the enemies until their life bar has been depleted – each one will have different characteristics and will fight in a unique manner, but not at the expense of usability - Master Creating claim that Legend will be just as easy to control as other action RPGs.

The graphics are provided by an in-house engine, tailored specifically for the needs of an action RPG. The dungeons will be randomly generated whereas the surface world will be persistent. Partnering the player will be "spirit guide", doling out tips and clues, serving as the cursor and – thanks to real-time lighting – illuminating the dark corners of the world.

The storyline has been written by US author Susan O’Connor, promising a rich, immersive world in which to lose yourself.

Features:

- Action RPG set in a fantasy world
- Breathtaking 3D graphics courtesy of the Master Engine, which was designed specifically for action RPGs
- Luminous spirit doubles as mouse cursor/dynamic light source
- Written by top American author
- Star-studded team of developers
- Cinematic Combat System

Legend: Hand of God is scheduled for release in the 2nd quarter of 2007
