Full descriptionEvil Islands is a role-playing adventure with strong aspects of tactical strategy. The game is designed to offer the player freedom in decision making, both in battle and in character development, allowing the player's character to go where he wishes when he wishes, in search of adventure and glory. The customizable camera perspective allows the player to zoom in on an enemy close enough to observe his equipment and see how he is armed, then move out for a tactical view of the battlefield that shows the relative positions of all friends and foes.
Emphasizing the idea that a small, well-placed strike can be at least as effective as a large-scale onslaught, the skilled player can direct the character to sneak past guards, crawl safely through dangerous areas, or even perform a surprise backstab attack on an unwitting villain. The game features 80 different quests, requiring both bravado and surreptitiousness for ultimate success. Up to six human-controlled characters can adventure together over the Internet or a local network.
From the creators of the Rage of Mages series (Allods in Europe) comes Evil Islands (formerly known as Allods 3: Redemption), where you play as a hero in the mysterious world of Allods and take on non-linear quests in a rich, fully 3D complex fantasy world, as you attempt to uncover the mysteries around the islands in a test of wits, ability to make the right decisions, and solve massive problems with small force.
Editorial reviewSource:
AmazonEvil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul is an RPG-strategy game based on the idea that a small, properly applied force can affect the course of events more effectively than raw power. To accomplish most of the objectives, one must exercise good strategic planning for both covert operations and open strikes. The RPG element is also very strong, with an extensive story line, a mystery to solve, and a multitude of characters with their own ambitions. These characters can either become the hero's friends or foes.
Superior technology brings players a whole new range of possibilities never before seen in comparable games. Many of the characters' attributes and all equipment are precisely visualized in the game modes, letting the player visually assess the strength of adversaries. A free-motion camera may zoom in to show wrinkles on an adversary's forehead, introduce elements of action to the game, or zoom out to show positions and actions of all units in a classical strategy fashion--all enriched with beautiful 3-D graphics.
In the story, Zak looks to find his destiny and true love. On his way through the unknown lands of the Evil Islands, he will encounter friendship and treachery, affection and loathing, fluffy pets and hideous monsters, princes and paupers, and all sorts of strange creatures. He will master cold steel and high magic, will learn to obey and command, and will become a hit man and a mark.
Role-playing excitement; intense strategy; more than 80 quests; 3D graphics; six-player action via Internet
