A few of the talent-stuffed programmers are beginning development of a new game, Nightfall Dragons that can be found at Digital Legends. , which is very unfortunate seeing as how the developers, Rebel Act Studios went out of business. This is why I believe it didn't sell well in the U.S.
A lot of people don't have the patience to learn the tactical necessity of fighting an enemy in order to defeat it. This is amazing to me, and makes me sad that these highly talented programmers are the only ones in the entire gaming community that did these things so well.Īside from the graphics, gameplay is nothing short of stellar. An instance is when a chalice is thrown, it will hit the wall and bounce back on the floor towards you and then roll in a circle until it stops. Things will bounce in different directions according to their shape, and what they bounce off of perfectly. The water reflections, while not realistic are very neat to look at, and don't cause much of a performance hit at all on low to midrange computer setups.Īnother thing worth noting is the physics model of the game. So far to this date (September 24th, 2003) I've yet to see a game that renders stencil shadows as well as Blade of Darkness. True that for today's standards the textures are washed out and the models have a low-poly count, but the shadowing and water reflection effects more than make up for it. Now on to my very old review and non-anti-aliased screenshots.īlade of Darkness is still the best hack and slash type game ever created. Also I fixed an image file that apparently didn't upload correctly when I first created this page, back in 2001-ish.

The FogFix mod is not currently included with my mega-zip file near the bottom of this page. Sir Random has even created a Fog fix mod, so that in the snow/forge levels, the fog is reduced while using the OpenGL raster (where previously, you couldn't see your own nose). Arokhs Lair is still around and is by far the best resource for everything BoD/Severance related. With that, I'm more than happy to provide you with the OpenGL raster on this site here. Windows 7 of course, isn't any different.
#Severance blade of darkness patch drivers#
Turns out that the black text problem that the Catalyst 3.8 drivers (read: ATI's Windows XP drivers from August, 2003!) fixed, has reared its ugly head again at the introduction of Windows Vista, on nVidia and ATI video cards (and undoubtedly with Intel and other manufacturers graphics cards).
#Severance blade of darkness patch update#
UPDATE 2 (January, 2011): So yeah, this page is getting tons of hits from people looking for BoD/Severance info. In either case, I'm really glad it's fixed and I thank all who submitted the bug report.
#Severance blade of darkness patch driver#
A member of the driver team claimed that it was a game bug and not a driver bug, but I find it a bit hard to believe due to the fact that it only happened with R3XX cards. UPDATE: The new Catalyst 3.8 drivers fix this problem, thus allowing you to play the game in Direct3D goodness. If all else fails, go to the most popular Blade forums at Arokh's Lair. When you get to an area where the fog is too thick, it's best to memorize the menu commands to get to your latest save game, and then change the renderer to D3D and play in that mode. First thing to do is send a formal complaint to ATi to tell them to fix their stupid drivers ( report) and then download the patch and the OpenGL Raster from (raster.zip) ( raster) or trust my mirror of the file here. The menu text is black, thus preventing you from seeing what you are selecting. ATI Radeon 9700, 9500, and 9800 users: There is a problem with these cards running the Blade of Darkness / Severance.
