As in ages past, the shadow of a great evil falls across your homeland. In a trial that marks the passing of an age, a champion must once again take up the legendary Thor's Hammer to quell the enchroaching darkness. Thor's Hammer consists in its full version, which is named Thor's Hammer Trilogy, out of three episodes: The Trial, The Journey and The Battle. The game has a medieval background and so are the weapons and items you find: axes, spells and armor. The game plays like a 1st person shooter but there are some RPG elements, too. You have for example to interact with NPCs to gather information and to get advice from them. Each episode consists of one huge level, an automap will help you to not lose yourself in it. Your character can walk, run, and strafe in any direction in a "flat" 3D environment like Wolfenstein 3D, battling enemies in real time, and there is no money or experience points. Nevertheless, you fight with an axe and cast magic spells, you can upgrade your weapons and armor, and your health and magic bars increase throughout the game. The combination works and it's quite a fun game, though a bit too easy. The dungeons are huge, though mostly devoid of enemies, so the game is more time consuming than difficult. In July/2009, the full game was allowed to be released as freeware. | ||
