Greyhawk: The Temple of Elemental Evil
Release Date: September 16, 2003
RPG, isometric view, Dungeons & Dragons, classic RPG, singleplayer
Production of the cRPG genre based on the classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons feature game module from 1985 entitled "The Temple of Elemental Evil". The action is shown from an isometric perspective, and the fun focuses mainly on the fight, which is played using a turn-based combat system with great tactical depth.
Overview:
Many years ago in the land of Flanaess, an evil demoness founded a cult dedicated to elemental evil, the four elements as symbols of true evil, and based it in a temple outside the village of Nulb. Eventually, after years of tyranny and chaos, the good armies of the nearby lands, headed by the infamous Circle of Eight descended into the temple and razed it, imprisoning the villains inside. For years thereafter relative peace ensued, as daring adventurers slew the remaining monsters that ravaged the land above and the temple itself faded into but a distant memory...until now.
Bandits have begun to patrol the roads outside Hommlet and Nulb again. Wicked forces are rumored to be afoot, converging on the ruined temple for malevolent purposes. Who and what these men are, no one can be sure. All claim to be bent on slaying monsters and bringing peace and security to Hommlet; but deeds speak more loudly than words, and lies cloak the true purposes of the malevolent.
So begins the classic Gygax D&D module, �The Temple of Elemental Evil�, brought to the PC for the first time with 3.5 Edition rules by Troika Games. A game like no other; where players will assemble a party of adventurers to uncover the source of this sinister and ominous activity, rallying to the very heart of evil within the Temple itself.
