<A href="http://www.3dgamers.com">3D Gamers</a> has the <a href="http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/grom/gromdemo.exe.html">204MB demo</a> for <a href="http://www.gromgame.de/">Grom</a> available in their <a href="http://www.3dgamers.com/games/grom/">Grom section</a>. What is it?

<blockquote>It is the year 1942, German troops have invaded Tibet and are searching for the lost city of ancient king Arjuna. It is rumored that here, in this mysterious place, twelve of Arjuna's mighty weapons are hidden. The legend has it, that each of these weapons is capable of destroying whole cities, leaving only ashes. One of those mighty artifacts alone, could enable the German Nazis to gain complete world domination.

Arrogantly, the German troops did not expect to encounter any resistance but they suddenly did. This resistance is a mighty, powerful one and it has a name: Grom, Colonel Grom... and he has an old score to settle with his German archenemies!</blockquote>

Not sure about the RPG elements in this game. They say it's an RPG, but a lot of developers like that acronym these days.

That's odd. The GameSpot news item about this called it an adventure game.

3D Gamers and VoodooExtreme are calling it an RPG. I downloaded it to check it out. We'll see shortly. :)

I'm on the edge of my seat, I assure you.

Well.. It's got a character system.. Hit points, skills(ALL WEAPON BASED), etc.. That's about it. Even the dialogue is scripted from what I can tell. Nothing impressive here.
