This is a level-based action role-playing game, originally released in 2002, that blends hack-and-slash combat with puzzle-solving elements. Set in the medieval fantasy world of Celenheim, the narrative revolves around a great war that has split the land into two opposing factions: the protected Light side, known as the Enclave, and the encroaching Dark side.

Opposing them are the Dark side, composed of twisted forms struggling for survival while slowly growing more powerful and preparing to invade the Light side once again. The atmosphere is steeped in medieval fantasy conflict, where the fate of the land rests on the success of your chosen faction.
