Fantastic Classic Game. Came out in 94 from at this point a nearly unknown publisher firm called Blizzard. Yeahh the rest is history. We take on the role of Kyle Blackthorne, once a young prince from Tuul ( Sounds similar to the film and planet "Krull" ) a peacefull alien planet inhabited by humans which seemed to be based on medieval times it has even an old-fashioned castle. But the ambiente has a strangely very high technology with hologramm bridges, modern day shotguns, Bombs etc... The story starts off with main villain Sarlac who bears resemblance to Tim Curry's Lord of Darkness and Diablo itself, ordering to his goblin/orcs like subordinates a full attack on the Kingdom place where our hero lives. Overrun by night the king and his sorcerer adviser are in the possesion of a magical stone which can decide the fate of Tuul. In order to act fast and that the stone must not fall in evil hands, they send the young prince to earth to protect the stone with the prophecy he would come one day back to save Tuul.
Leaving his planet behind 20 years have passed... Kyle has grown becoming a highly decorated military captain and deadly mercenarie. Convicted for a crime he didn't commit he escaped a maximum security prison. With vengeance in mind, tormented by memories and dreams finally the day cames near were the old sorcerer adviser of his father will bring him back to save his planet from the pure evil, but not without before grabbing his iconic boomstick.
And the game Starts. Great Graphics for it's time. The gameplay is similar to Prince of persia just with shotgun and its similar linear. You are fighting cool looking Orcs from wow with shotguns which was released the same year. There are four stages were you do your quest for vengeance in your once beautiful world now becoming a hellish enslaved place of your own people which you can save by the way, in return they're helping you. Sarlac is watching you all the time and waiting for the epic biblical showdown with you...
Really a fantastic game. Maybe it is for free on playstore or was you should play it. I was just wondering why this game never got a remake or sequel. It has great potential.
