'Grotesque: Heroes Hunted' - 3 New Screens

by Rainier on July 5, 2006 @ 2:48 a.m. PDT

Grotesque is an adventure/RPG from German developer Silent Dreams and promises to be an original blend of traditional fantasy RPG (like Gothic, Fable, Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment) and sarcastic humor with adventure elements along the lines of Monkey Island.

Elves, prick up your ears! Grotesque – Heroes Hunted is a unique solo role-playing game with ironic undertone and absorbing story line.

Rayk Kerstan, Creative Director of Silent Dreams: „Grotesque is
developing into a technically advanced game that competes with next-generation titles like Gothic 3 or Neverwinter Nights 2“

One of Grotesque’s strengths is the charismatic characters. These are displayed in a brilliant quality in a fantasy environment of dynamic lights with real-time shadows. The world has bloom, hdr effects and normal/parallax mapping on every object.

Also, NPCs in Grotesque have profuse charisma with distinctive personalities that will remain in the players’ memory -some of them will surely rise to a cult status!

Typical scene from Grotesque that parodies Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Lego-Lars and other soldiers went into battle to solve a quest that the playable character called Roger Sun had screwed up miserably previously. Euphorically, they surround the first (little) enemy without knowing that a much bigger enemy is waiting for them…

Protagonist Roger Sun and a NPC fight together against two hungry Orcs.

The hungry Orcs shown on the Screenshot are the “light version” of the Orc population in Grotesque. Orcs usually eat flesh from vegetarian humans. The attentive player will notice that the combat system and UI are similar to the MMORPG „World of Warcraft“. Grotesque has a classical and transparent User Interface.

Deacon, a timid Soldier who always feels discriminated, is the first companion who fights together with Roger in the Adventure. During fights, it may happen that Deacon gets scared and runs away…
