The Chosen: Well of Souls – Mythical Baddies En Masse

Coming to the PC the first of October is The Chosen: Well of Souls from Meridian 4 and Rebelmind; originally titled Frater. Personally, I think they made the correct decision when they retitled this action RPG, because unfortunately a title can really make or break a gamer’s first impression. In the game, you must choose your hero and journey forth into battle against an army of demons and devils determined to take over the world. Set during the turn of the 19th century, the antagonist, Marcus Dominus Ingens has recruited the souls of ancient alchemists to aid in his destruction of the ‘God’s Envoy’. With hordes of demons, werewolves, vampires, and zombies at his disposal, it is up to you to annihilate this evil doer’s grandiose plan for world domination and save all that is good and pure.

Game Features:

• 3 original playable characters, each with their own distinct skills and abilities.
• Over 200 different types of armour, weapons and magic items.
• Over 12 blood-curdling quests with hordes of werewolves, zombies, vampires and demons.
• Modify skills and allocate experience to develop your hero.
• Seizing demons during battle allows you to use them to fight for you.
• Improve weapons strength and effectiveness through ancient magic.

Storyline:

The powerful sorcerer, Marcus Dominus Ingens became immortal after unraveling the mystery of the ancients. His pride and hunger for power made him eliminate all alchemists whose skills and knowledge equaled his. Now he keeps their souls in Golden Tanks and uses them for his evil purposes and controlling infernal forces. Whole armies of demons and devils are at his command. In order to take control over the world, however, he’d have to destroy the God’s Envoy.

Marcus is aware that he is too weak to destroy the God’s Envoy, so he sets free hordes of infernal monsters in order to harvest human souls. Each new soul makes Marcus more powerful, while the God’s Envoy becomes weaker and weaker. And then one day…

For many years the Mystery Guards Fraternities have trained Hunters to fight the evil. Hard-bitten, well trained in magic and alchemy, they traversed the world fighting against the powers of darkness. Now, their Fraternities need them back to face the whole army of infernal beasts. The life of God’s Envoy and the world order are at stake. The best of the best: Frater Simon, Elena and Tong Wong prepare to save the Earth – ready to risk their lives in the fight against Marcus.
