Sky Fallen are doing an amazing job, ‘Blood Magic’ now joins ‘Nexus – The Jupiter Incident’ for our E3 line-up which makes me extremely proud”, says Mike Klumper, MD of HD Interactive.

There are a dozen different fields of magic, over 100 weapons in the game and nearly limitless spell possibilities.
