Apocryph is a FPS set in a brutal dark fantasy world. It takes it's
roots in old-school fantasy shooters, so prepare for intense
sword-and-sorcery FPS action amidst forgotten castles, evil shrines and
decrepit dungeons!
The world of Apocryph is a grim, violent place, harboring magic, dark
rituals and dangers around every corner. Wherever you go you'll be
facing unrelenting monsters, traps and locked passages, and can only
depend on yourself and your equipment to survive the trials.
- Static, carefully handcrafted levels and level-hubs, all packed with
secrets, monsters and traps.
- Your character can wield up to 9 different weapons with alternative
fire modes, including melee armaments, spells, staffs and artifacts.
- Items can help you in tough situations, health potions will aid your
health, mana vials can restore your mana, combat items can do some
damage to an opponent.
- There are also more rare and powerful relics to be found, such as the
dreaded Obliterator Mask, which encases you in a suit of
nigh-impenetrable armor, allows you to bash enemies with your plain
fists and send powerful shockwaves across the walls and floor, or the
Essence of the Reaper, which turns you into an avatar of Death itself,
boosting your speed, granting you wings to perform double jumps and a
wicked scythe which cleaves and destroys any opponent.
- Some weapons and items can be used to stun enemies, freeze them solid,
deal area of effect damage or even provide defensive measures.
- The game uses a sophisticated gore system. A powerful finishing blow
can rip a part of the enemy right out of him, while critically over
damaging an opponent literally blows them to pieces, with limbs flying
across the room and sticking to the walls.
You control the Arbiter, once a person of a high rank in Xilai religious
hierarchy. The Xilai were known for many things, such as their artistry,
magical arts and unity. But all the worlds feared them for a different
reason - the Xilai worshiped Death itself. For centuries they raided
countless worlds, reaping souls in the name of their dreaded Mistress.
Events preceding the game have led to your exile, and now, after many
years you return back, only to find fortresses and lands overrun with
demonic spawns and vile beasts. Why were you exiled? What could cause
this desolation? It's time to find some answers... and reap some demon
spawn in the name of Pale Mistress.
