A grim new threat hovers over the Central Realms. The borders defended by the proud knights of the king are no longer safe. Fearsome clans of orcs, more numerous than ever, lurk on every road. The proud nomadic tribes of the steppes are on the alert: strange beasts prowl in the darkness. Not even the dwarves, hidden in their underground palaces, seem safe from the threat: from the unknown tunnels of the mines, a terrible army of hideous creatures advances inexorably.
Chaos has taken over the world. Only the older ones still remember the deeds of a hero and a handful of warriors who in distant times opposed the forces of chaos. Ianna, mother of all living creatures, had given the hero a mighty sword with which to enter the abyss and defeat evil. But that was a long time ago. Now we need a new hero, a chosen one able to wield the sword and destroy the enemy. Him this time, forever.

New HD graphics for the game that created a genre
We are happy to bring Blade of Darkness back to life, starting today in HD! It is a timeless classic that has inspired many other games thanks to its original approach to fighting. In this edition we reinvented the game to run on modern PC hardware, tweaked textures, added widescreen support up to 4K resolution, improved anti-aliasing, HDR, bloom, motion blur and display, added gamepad support and improved overall stability. The gameplay, content and story, however, remain unchanged… With all the charm and peculiarities of the classic game.
