Official Fact Sheet:
Beltion proposes the player a freeform gameplay with a mix of fantasy and historical reality of medieval Europe. The main character is a Necromancer who, when still being a child, was chosen by the priests of the Death God for his uncommon abilities. He studied at the Temple (fulfilling several tasks for the priests by the way) and, marked for his prowess by a High Priest, is being sent with a diplomatic mission to an Orc city. The players goal is to find a formula of lost ritual to free himself of the curse which made him an outcast among friends and a friend among foes. He can use some unique abilities like:
- gathering of souls from defeated enemies which serves for combat purposes (new spells development and amplification of existing spells, self-healing) and for the plot progress (soul questioning to obtain the information)
- necrovision or “ethereal sight” a special viewing mode to observe incorporeal manifestations and entities, for example souls;
- an ownership of Necropolis necromancer’s keep where he can study to summon undeads, to perform rituals and enhance his own abilities. The Necropolis provides the basis for the personal teleportation system that the character can use to move from one point of the game-world to the other.
- the stats reflects the character’s physical and spiritual prowess: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Will and Perception. The stats are increasing during the game, affecting both combat elements (attack power, maximal health etc.) and non-violent character interaction (persuasion in a conversation, for example);
- the abilities are skills and techniques which can be learned during the game. Most of the abilities are combat-oriented for example, summoning undead allies or poisoning the enemies;
- the items comprise the character inventory including armor, weapons, shields, rings and amulets. There are also items which affect the character’s stats and there are quest items and items with trade value (books, gems, etc.).
- There are over 44 humans and human-like creature models with more than 100 different textures.
- 19 unique models of monsters and undead creatures with more than 30 different textures. The Monsters are all unique creatures and natives in the Beltion world; undeads can be the character’s enemies or summoned allies.
- about a dozen of models of miscellaneous game world animals (dogs, cats, goats, etc.)
