If you’re in the market for some dark fantasy horror gaming, Torple Dook and DreadXP’s Hand of Doom will fit that bill nicely. Much like another upcoming DreadXP title in The Outsiders, Hand of Doom was initially released as part of the first Dread X Collection, but has become a full game that’s now available on Steam.
In Hand of Doom, you play as an apprentice wizard who enters into the service of a powerful sorcerer as part of an attempt to gain more power. It turns out that your master had been surviving on the power they’ve been siphoning from entities they’ve bound all across the planes of existence. No longer able to do so, you’re being sent on a quest to seek out and slay these Doomlords who preside over reality itself, all in the name of preventing universal disaster.
However, you don’t have to honour the agreement with your master. In the different planes of existence, you can choose to slay or befriend the shackled entities, changing the conclusion of your story. Will you be a ruthless justicar, meting out pain and death? Or will you instead find common ground and friendship?
Coming across as a mix of classic PC RPGs such as Betrayal at Krondor and Daggerfall, Hand of Doom features that same look and feel, complete with live action FMV. It’s all accompanied by a Doom Metal-inspired soundtrack that features tracks by Hexenkraft.
