GameSpot has previewed the upcoming Action RPG ShadowFlare. Here's a bit about the game's background:
ShadowFlare is split into episodes (like Diablo II's acts), and the first episode begins in this remote town. The flavor text at the beginning of the game notes that a new breed of demon called the gargoyle has been sighted nearby lately, and that only the greatest of heroes (which would be you) can hope to defend humanity from these vile creatures. Thus the game begins. Interestingly, unlike other games, ShadowFlare will apparently be available as a download rather than through the normal distribution channels. Furthermore, the game will be split into four separate downloads divided by episode. The first episode is slated to release in mid October, and the next three episodes will follow in November, December, and January. |
