Way back in 1994 Raven Software released a really great fantasy FPS game called “Heretic“. And well, there hasn´t been many games like that over the years. Until now that is.
Because Omniconnection are working on a neat medieval/fantasy/multiplayer FPS game named “Grimoire” (which uses the Unreal engine).
I should also point out that Grimoire got thumbs up on Steam Greenlight just recently. The Kickstarter campaign was far from a success story though. But i think Grimoire will turn out just fine anyhow.
About Grimoire:
Grimoire is a PC multiplayer shooter where wizards battle in a dark medieval fantasy world for prestige and power using unique and powerful spells. Though inspired by many popular FPS games, Grimoire is a significant departure from the norm, including everything from devastating “ultimate” attacks to specialized class-based passive skills to customizable classes.
We aim to combine the best of FPS with the unique classes and abilities found in MOBA games into fun and engaging wizard combat that rewards precise aim as well as strategic skills and teamwork. Although Grimoire has a total of seven planned game modes we have decided to focus primarily on our three favorites for the games initial release: Conquest, Co-Op Survival, and Arena.
