Dark Unknown

In a hostile realm, a hero longs for vengeance

The adventure takes place in a foreign fantasy kingdom ruled by an evil emperor who usurped the throne of the previous legitimate king. His reign makes the life of the subjects a living hell, taxing them and requiring people to work more and more. In addition, many children were taken from their homes and families to be trained in his army.

No one is able to face the evil emperor and his powerful minions... except for a young boy, named Legolas, who is willing to restore peace and order in the kingdom. Along his path, our hero will face and defeat powerful enemies in order to reach his goal.

How to play:

This version is just a prototype and includes only 5 levels (here called rooms), where Legolas will face several undeads created by the black magic of the Usurper. 

In each room, all the enemies must be defeated in order to unlock the 3 doors which allow the player to continue his adventure. Above each door, an icon gives an hint on which reward can be obtained in the room behind that door, so the player has to choose carefully. But remember: the reward will spawn only when all enemies are defeated! 

So, what are you waiting for? Choose your melee or ranged weapons, upgrade your stats and use wisely the environment to slay your enemies in Dark Unknown. At the end of the 5 rooms, a challenging fight against a boss awaits you!
