Conan the Cimmerian, hero of Robert E. Howard's books, is ready to destroy armies and battle ancient gods. His trusty sword will cleanse the earth of evil, using various bone-cleaving moves. He will fight in deserts, on ships, in catacombs, palaces, and other locations where his sword will triumph over enemies.
Conan is a 3D action game that combines hack-and-slash combat with puzzle-solving. Conan can use his fists, one and two-handed weapons, shields, stationary bow turrets, elemental magic, interactive environment objects, and spikes on the walls to defeat evildoers. Blood and gore follow Conan as he deals with enemies using acrobatic moves like slicing off heads or pile-diving into the ground. Three weapon styles have over 100 deadly moves, each with its own gory animation. Players can collect bonus points by freeing hidden slave women. The game also has a list of achievements for hardcore players to set as goals.
