Description

Faranga needs a new hero – will you heed the call?

Delve into the gritty and atmospheric world of Risen, where every action has a consequence. Master the sword, learn the art of staff fighting, or become a powerful mage, forging your path across a land filled with mysterious earthquakes, fearsome monsters, and unimaginable treasures.

A mysterious volcanic island.

The island of Faranga’s heavy tremors bode ill for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have risen from the ground, bringing with them bizarre creatures that terrorize the area. Fear and panic are spreading throughout the population.

The end of all hope?

A powerful group calling themselves ""The Inquisitors"" have made it their quest to put an end to these events. They send an expedition to Faranga, but a ferocious storm takes hold of the ship and destroys it at sea.

A hero will come.

Miraculously, you survive the shipwreck and are stranded on the volcanic island alone. You find yourself caught amidst rebellion, tyranny, and mystic rituals. It is up to you to decide which way the pendulum of fate will swing.

Risen - a game that was released in 2009 and recently got updated with achievements on Steam. The game is set in a fantasy world where a nameless hero survives a shipwreck and finds himself in a conflict between different factions. The hero can join one of the factions and explore the island, fighting various enemies and completing quests. The game has impressive graphics and atmosphere, with a dynamic day and night cycle that affects the behavior of NPCs. The combat system is complex and rewarding, requiring skill and strategy to defeat the enemies. However, the game also has some drawbacks, such as the annoying dialog mode that cuts off half of the screen. The game is a must-play for fans of Piranha Bytes and Gothic series, as it has a similar style and gameplay.
  • Interesting plot and side choices
  • Beautiful graphics and atmosphere
  • Advanced combat system
  • A meager set of NPC skins
