Описание:

Приключенческо-магический экшен, основанный на скандинавской мифологии.

Четверке лихих магов, представляющих некий таинственный орден, выпала нелегкая доля — спасти мир от разбушевавшегося не на шутку темного волшебника и толп его кровожадных сторонников. Чтобы справиться с напастью, колдовать придется долго, упорно и желательно как можно более изощренно. Создавая убийственные комбинации самых разных заклинаний, герои понесут в мир добро... И горе тому, кто по неосторожности подвернется им под руку!

В игре представлена уникальная магическая система, позволяющая создать огромное количество невероятных заклинаний. Противостоять отважным магам будут чудовища всех мастей и размеров — от мелких приспешников тьмы до гигантских драконов. Не возбраняется спасать мир в гордом одиночестве, однако рекомендуется пригласить друзей: можно вместе с ними пройти сюжетную кампанию, а можно — помериться силами в нескольких многопользовательских режимах.
Особенности игры:
Эпическая приключенческая кампания, состоящая из тринадцати уровней, а также специальные варианты игры;
Режим совместного прохождения с поддержкой до четырех участников, как по сети, так и за одним компьютером;
«Магический конструктор» для создания множества сочетаний заклинаний;
Различные суровые испытания и интересные головоломки;
Неповторимый юмор и пародии на всевозможные фэнтезийные клише.
