A powerful wizard, yearning for even more power, has found a sacred book that granted him command over armies of demons and men. Possessed by the desire to conquer and to destroy, he orders his armies to set cities on fire, massacring the citizens. But one nameless hero, the protagonist of this game, has to stand up against the evil. Leaving Soron, his home village, the hero embarks on a journey to find companions and to face together the forces of darkness.
The game features a top-down battle system, where heroes and enemies move around but players can only issue commands such as "Attack" or "Use Magic". The game also has a day/night cycle, adding to the sense of realism. Players must seek out party members in various cities, rather than having them join for plot-related reasons. With its unique blend of exploration and RPG elements, Death Bringer offers a compelling experience for fans of Western-style RPGs.
