Bane Of Oakenshade

Using Sword Of Moonlight game engine from year 2000. Current game patch version 2.2  February 11th 2024. There is now a windows 10-11 version using Dgvoodoo to modernize the engine. Be sure to select that version if you are on these operating systems or graphical errors may occur.

I highly recommend a GAMEPAD. The default game engine controls can be quite awkward to use. 1024x768 is the preferred resolution as anything higher results in clipping and graphical drop outs on screen edges.

Enter a dark world filled with mystery and evil. A brooding atmospheric first person dungeon crawler.  Featuring multiple spells,weapons and armour. A vast amount of lore to indulge in if desired.  Large maps encouraging exploration. 9 areas to explore  featuring 10 dark ambient immersive soundtracks.  Hours of gameplay with rewarding character progression.  An unfolding story to discover.

Differences from Kings Field

There's no health herbs. Mana and Healing recovery is primarily potion based. There are other ways though...

You can save in the Menu. Probably a controversial decision that one but I have my reasons for doing so.

There is an equipment weight limit. This prevents buffing with all the top gear. So choose wisely. Heavier swords take longer to regain stamina and weigh more. This also applies to armour. Build strength by grinding. 

There are no gradients. The ground is flat.

You start with no weapons so you better find some!
