Kingston
Arcane
THRONE OF DARKNESS
You know this game. Well, you should know it. Take out your Arcanum manual. Its on the back or on the other side of the front cover or something. I always remembered this game, I always wanted to play it, but I couldn't find a copy. It always stayed in the back of my mind, teasing me... "You will never play this! You will never play this!"
Well, guess what, I'm playing it now, aren't I? Nyah nyah, fuck you, brain.

I miss the past.
Alright, onwards, to the game! First up, the logos.
That's Sierra, alright.
A name clearly linked to the gameplay style. No flashiness in the logos here, but it doesn't stand out much either. Its just a cog. I'll never remember that logo, while I'll still remember Heretic Kingdom's weird-ass robot head. Take note, potential devs, burn your logos into my mind.
Opening cinematic kicks in.
Basic is the word. Hand-drawn art with a voiceover. Jap mumbles something about a prince selling his soul, undead armies, can't really make out much over the heavy accent.
Got your ass and titties covered, next?
I would imagine this to be bad prince in question. I guess that wraps up the-
Woah! What the fuck!
Whattehell are you doing?
Oh, right, he's attacking the skeletons.
Alright, overview. You've clearly got a communist surrounded by skeletons on the left, and to his right is a samurai (also surrounded by skeletons).
The samurai pulls some Dragonball Z shit.
Yeah, stabs em straight in his ribcage! Take that!
The Communist hurls his enemies back and sings us the song of his people:
:Cultureshock:
Then we've got an Archer, clearly tripping on some heavy shit:
And a Wizard with the power of vectoring:
Truly a force to be reckoned with.
Due to PC policy they had to hire a chubby one:
However, all of them turn around to witness some more serious asskicking.
TEST YOUR MIGHT!
Yeah, you don't mess with this fucker.
Which is all the more reason not to mess with...
THE A-TEAM.
There's a few seconds more to the cinematic but we'll cut off there.
Next up: The Game!
