For those of you that do not know, Fortress of Fear is an RPG game that is similar in some respects to the excellent Diablo on the PC. As well as containing al the RPG elements you would expect there it will also contain a number of action elements. Like Diablo the game will be viewed from an isometric perspective.

The game is reported to be massive, the game will take part in one hugh world instead of a number of small levels, of course, in this would you will be able to explore villages, caverns, dungeons etc. there will be a number of quests to be solved.

The reason for the fact that there has been no news about the game recently is that the team have taken a small break recently, this was for a number of reasons. This and the fact that they are trying to make the game as perfect as possible before they release it has contributed to the demo & and game being late.

Dotted around this page you will see some images. These are not actual screenshots, however, they are the graphics that will be used in the game. What they will do is cut them down into blocks and use them to make up levels. There is also a screenshot from the intro and one of the main character. I'm sure you will be able to see why they are being touted as best graphics ever seen on the amiga in a game of this type.

Regarding the spec that will be needed to run the game, well, they are quite high. The minimum is an 030/50mhz with 4Mb RAM, a CD-ROM and a Hard- drive. Obviously more power would be recommended. At the moment they will be making two Amiga versions, one for AGA and another for CyberGFX. This is alongside the PC version of the game they are producing. In the future there is a chance of a PowerPC version being developed.

Currently the only release date that has been given is 1998, however, they are aiming to get a demo finished by the end of 1997, but this is far from certain.

More on this game as I get it.
