An ex-monk, Drakil Tanan, has transformed himself into the ultimate harbinger of death by stealing the magic from the most powerful dragon of all time, the Dragon Lord. With this newly found power, Draak (as he now calls himself), the disciple of necromancy, is determined to cast the land of Uma back into the days when chaos and evil reigned unbridled in the realm.

In Darkstone, you are the chosen one to counter Draak's plan to plunge the world into a new Age of Darkness. Character choices are made from four classes (wizard/sorceress, assassin/thief, warrior/amazon or monk/priestess). The overall objective is to track down the seven crystals of the Time Orb, created a millennium ago from the tears of the benevolent goddess Kaliba and restore it. Only then will you have the power of the mighty Orb at your disposal to use as the ultimate weapon against Draak.

By the numbers, Darkstone contains four distinct regions of Uma, more than 100 evil creatures based on 30 types of characters, 32 specific spells and nearly two dozen skills (six major). Additional features include full 360-degree movement, more than 30 weapons (some multi-purposed), numerous items and traps and over 200 enemies and characters with which to interact.

  Manufacturer's description:

Enter the world of Dark Stone and leave your identity at the door. Surviving this medieval world, living under the shadow of a nefarious dragon, will require nothing less than a complete transformation. As a knight, monk, thief or sorcerer, you will creep through dungeons, explore towns and wilderness, and slay armies of nasty enemies on your quest to collect seven crystals that can defeat your fire-breathing nemesis. Look deep inside yourself. Is there a dragon slayer within?
