Hard To Be A God, the new action and adventure game from Ascaron to be released in April, uniquely combines the sci-fi and medieval fantasy genres with a mix of Hack & Slash and RPG gameplay. Lasers will come up against swords as monsters and bandits battle a spy sent from a futuristic Earth to the medieval, alien planet of Tsurinak.
Action
Ferocious battles with gangs of bandits and guards on horseback will help hone fighting skills, before vicious monsters and brutal immortal beings demonstrate their power and desire for blood.
Adventure
A diverse range of quests, from defeating ruthless thieves to recovering a lost child, require a variety of combat and strategy forcing the spy to be intelligent as well as instinctive.
Weapons
In total there are over 200 different weapons for the spy to choose from. The arsenal includes scorchers, modifiers, mini-guns, force fields and sophisticated combat gadgets, contrasting with the swords, bow and arrows and axes wielded by the men of Tsurinak.
