MAGESLAYER
After a series of first person shooters,
Raven wanted to try something new with MageSlayer's top-down view.
While the actors and objects were flat 2D sprites, the rooms themselves
were Quake-like 3D and featured realistic lightning as well.
You had the option to play 4 different character
classes with different spells and abilities. The game offered
a single-player campagne and different multiplayer options.
The main inspirator of MageSlayer was an
ages-old Atari game called "The Gauntlet". While for
some old-school fans MageSlayer was an awesome return of "The
Golden Ages", the modern wave of gamers raised on DOOM, Quake
& co. didn't really accept this game.
