ALWAYS READ THIS NFO Game Notes: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Genre and style Evil Islands complements to the most recent, state-of-the-art genre of the 3D role-playing strategy, amplifying it with the brand-new, unique options. "Many publicists claim to have the most realistic, state-of-the-art 3D product around. But Russian developer Nival Interactive is putting something together that may not need much exaggeration. In September 2000, the Strategy-oriented role-playing game Evil Islands will rear its beautiful head", - Adrenaline Vault. The game puts players in command of a smaller battle party, its members truly individual due to the universal characters development system enriched with a nearly hundred of additional perks, in a dynamic, fully interactive environment found in best of role-playing games. Evil Islands offers players a wide variety of strategies to achieve quest objectives and defeat their enemies depending on characters' skills, gear and equipment. Storyline Your main character awakens among ancient ruins amidst a wild, seemingly deserted land named Gipath - one of the islands floating in the astral halo. Who is he and how has he arrived here? All that his memory managed to retain is a vision of a tiny winged creature, which disappeared as soon as he fully regained conscience. How is he to survive and reach someone who could unveil the mystery of his lot and personality? He is not tough, and his light clothes can hardly be called an armor. His weapons are but a small hunting knife and a couple of easy spells. The most important task now is to find people. Then - just see what happens... You will find people whose reasons and true intentions are far from obvious. At first, your primary challenge is to win respect among the local populace, get more power and experience. However, soon the flow of events gains dashing speed. It becomes obvious that there is no time left to consider your private needs - dozens of foul friends and open foes are on your way, and performing your tasks requires more and more endurance, dexterity and wit. Eventually you find yourself entangled in a complex detective story, where your life is often at stakes. Around you are mysterious ancient ruins and monuments, deep caves and skillfully carved dungeons, rivers and lakes - an immersive but dangerous world, where you cannot feel at ease for a moment. And this is only the beginning of your journey... Your character is as natural and human-like as could be. He is neither possessed by evil, nor he is a world savior. His intentions are not always noble and self-denying, especially when his life is in question. He will meet unthinkable cruelty and unusual kindness, outrageous treachery and selfless loyalty. Naturally, he will not escape a love affair. Fate is going to test his ability to survive, fight, and find the way out of the most tangled coincidence every day. The world of Evil Islands The story unfolds in a world, which in the times of lore has split into separate islands, now isolated in the dark, insatiable astral halo. This universe is packed with unsolved enigmas, tangled problems and perilous adventures. You might already know some facts of its dark history from the Rage of Mages series. Perhaps, you have taken part in some events. This time, the scene is laid on the three new islands - Gipath, Ingos and Suslanger. First, you will learn to survive in this creepy, mysterious world. Be patient and get ready to the most unexpected turns. There is no one and nothing you can trust. Rely on your own strength and intuition. Your path goes through snow-clad mountain slopes and burned deserts, gloomy dungeons and primeval forests. Prepare to face the danger when the daylight smoothly gives place to the pitch-dark night, the rain starts pouring down, or the poisonous fog stands on your way. The Evil Islands realms are so thickly populated with various bloodthirsty creatures that you could not help being pleasantly surprised. Creeping and flying, biting and slashing, magnificent and repulsive, tiny and huge - they behave differently in different time of the day and weather. Remember, that a "strong monster" in Evil Islands is not just a word: even one of them can be a serious obstacle on your way. You will have to put together your strength, skill, and wits to overcome it. Gipath Gipath, where your journey will start, reminds of the Middle Europe in summer. Do not be mislead by the visual beauty and peace, but beware: the vile and cunning inhabitants of Gipath are unpredictable! Trolls and goblins, bats, wolves, boars, hares and deer do not brook strangers lightly. Admire the succubi - they would have been magnificent in their naked 3D splendor, if it was not for their nasty temper, which must be well known to you. More than once you will have to descend into the natural caves and man-made dungeons. Some of their inhabitants, who never faced either the sun or a living human, will stay for long in your memory, if you will be lucky to get outside, of course... Gipath is a desolate land, which belongs to no country. It is mainly populated by Goblins, Orcs and other beings hostile to humans. The only human settlement is very small and constantly under a threat of calamity. An occasional visitor could also come across a settlement of the outlaw brigands, who somehow manage to get along with the wilder population of the island. Metal is not known here; people make their weapons from ivory and stone, and their armor from animal skins. Remnants of an unknown ancient civilization are scattered all around the island. Gipath is a fairly small and out-of-the-way land packed with crowds of hostile monsters, of no interest to any of the world's large empires. Ñania Empire once planned to expropriate the island and had even built an outpost fortress here, but the disastrous splitting of the world left the fortress to its inhabitants' own discretion. Some of their descendants still live here, constantly fighting against goblins and orcs for survival. Ingos The landscapes of Ingos are snowy foothills, which resemble Middle Ages Europe in winter. Woody highlands take major part of the island, where dales and groves with sunny clearings grow into dense impenetrable forests. The thick coat of snow covers almost the entire island. Ingos is part of Cania Empire; its territory is quite large, although very scarcely populated. Woody hills occupy major part of the island. The weather is rather cold; the snow falls early in the autumn and stays for the most part of the year. There are no big cities; even the capital of Ingos looks like a big bustling village with curved narrow streets and two- or three-storied wooden houses. The rest of the settlements proudly bearing the name of cities look still more like overgrown villages. The local populace makes the living by cutting wood, mining ore and gold, and hunting. People usually live in small groups and are suspicious to strangers. The citizens of Ingos are self-reliant and freedom-loving; they are always ready to take up arms in defense of their interests without much thinking. The highest local authority is the Elder Counsel, but its power is far from being absolute: the province has a great deal of independence, and the Elder Counsel seldom intervenes in the local affairs. As a result, each village has a law of its own. Suslanger The arid and desolate Suslanger will please necromancy fans - these barren lands virtually swarm with evil magic offsprings. The admirers of deep gloomy dungeons packed with vile and slimy unthinkable monsters will also find this land very appealing. Suslanger is a sun-burnt desert. This small land belongs to the Hadagan Empire. It is divided into two parts: the relatively fertile lowlands and the barren highlands. An enormous Canyon with a river at the bottom cuts through the highlands. The land suitable for living and farming is very rare. The river and a small lake where it flows are the only sources of water on the entire island. To extend the farming lands, people have to build dams and canals. Few human settlements huddle around the lake. The desert is bare and non-populated by people. Instead, there live several orcish tribes, which are strong and skilled enough to coexist with Hadaganian settlers, and smart enough not to provoke humans for a full-scale war. Hadagan authorities are cruel and ruthless. Numerous guards punish for even the smallest deviation from Emperor's decrees, while spies and eavesdroppers report on every suspicious person. Suslanger is not of much economic importance to Hadagan, although it is the home for a well-known military academy. Many of this academy's alumni occupy high posts in the imperial army. Gameplay Evil Islands is a perfectly balanced blend of mind-blowing hack-and-slash action with a need for cautious, crafty strategic planning. Moving freely between fabulously scenic and diverse game areas, players do battle in command of smaller, potent parties of heroes wielding both magical and fighting skills, in a truly interactive role-playing environment. The course of events unrolls with fatal speed to carry player away to dazzling adventure full of treacheries and guile snares. However, player's fate is in his or her own hands: every item gained on the plains and highlands of the realms of Evil can be taken to the hometown and reassembled to create unique enchanted armor and weapon or unparalleled magic spells. Graphics and Music Everything in the game is true 3D. Unique smooth 3D objects change and morphing technology, procedural texturing, and texture preprocessing allows a whole bunch of new opportunities. See characters' shoulders grow right in the course of the game as their skills develop; admire soft shadows cast by trees and mountains; gape at wounds and grazes as they appear on characters' bodies and armor when they are hurt; and feel the easy grace of levitating creatures as their loose garments flutter in the wind. Each of the three islands in the game have unique architecture and art style incorporating elements of native art of the Southeastern and Northern Europe, South America and Ancient Egyptian. Muck and mire of the fens, glittering snowy mountains, sunlit grassland and dank, gloomy dungeons make an overwhelming abundance of detail, enhanced with the additional effects of mist, rain and smooth day/night change. The original, fully interactive electronic-symphonic ambient music enriched with ancient Scandinavian, Celtic and Irish tunes, is professionally recorded in MP3-files. More than 1000 environmental sounds and noises reflect game events, time of the day and year.
