Demise rise of kutan10/30/2022 ![]() ![]() The Warriors' Guild teaches characters how to fight, the Thieves Guild teaches characters to open chests without setting off traps, and the Sorceror's Guild teaches characters how to cast powerful spells at enemies. Guilds represent a way of life, and gaining levels as a member of each Guild you choose increases the skills your character has related to that particular Guild. Some Guilds only accept certain species, and some will not admit certain alignments, so think carefully about making these choices. There are 12 guilds in Demise, and your standing in these guilds represents how powerful your character is. but all characters start out as an 'Artisan' - a "Jack of all trades and master of none". A Guild is an organization dedicated to a profession. you get the idea! Your choice determines how long you live, your basic characteristics (some are faster/stronger/smarter than others), your starting resistances to any special forms of attack (such as poison or acid), what alignment you can be (Good, Neutral or Evil), and which "Guilds" you can join. There are 9 different humanoid species which you may select for your character. Of course you can also choose to play with only one character, but a party has a greater chance of surviving the many perils that lie in the dungeon and beyond. In MP, you can only play one character at a time, and must join with other players in order to make a party. In SP these characters are all created by you and you have complete control of them. In both single player(SP) and multiplayer(MP) you can explore the dungeon in a group of up to four characters. The game is played with characters whose attributes have been determined by the player and with the aim of progressively making your character or characters stronger, more capable and able to survive in the rich environment that will progressively unfold. It is an essential dungeon exploration game with hundreds of hours of playability and many unique features ~ including the fact that it may be played as a single player (SP) game or, with its included server, as an on-line game where a group of up to sixteen players from around the world or in a local neighbourhood, may play the Multi-Player (MP) version.Īs the game progresses beyond Volume I there is more interaction with the monsters and the occasional Non-Player Character (NPC) and a broader picture of the environment around the Dungeon and City of Dejenol emerges. With its area doubled since the release of Demise: Rise of the Ku'Tan (Volume I) over ten years ago, Demise: Ascension (Volume II) has become one of the largest dungeon-based role-playing games for the PC.

Bear in mind this brief romp which got me down as far as level 6 in the dungeon took me 2 months. Hopefully the next time around I can finally finish the dungeon. Unfortunately I picked this up way early when it was buggy, and I never got around to re-trying it. Bone up on the stats like any good rules lawyer and you will see that it is prudent to build an all-brawn party with a thief to scout the terrain ahead and pick up loot to prepare for your REAL long-haul party. It's fairly easy enough to jump right into it, but without an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the character races and classes you will quickly end up with a dead party, again and again. You're going to get your ass kicked if you don't pay attention to the details. Which translates to hard in casual gamer lingo. I'd even go so far as to say, you don't have any business rating a Rogue-like without having spent a week at it.Īs far as Rogue-likes go, Demise is average.
