Players can opt to follow the strict path of the plot and complete main quests in sequence, or opt to roam around freely to truly explore the vast and impressive Danian lands. Interact with NPCs, do side-quests, complete puzzles and battle dangerous enemies. The game offers a deep and complex gameplay experience with more than 70 hours of play, and its 100s of features will impress even the most experienced of players. With its comprehensive crafting system, original spell-generator, system of sacrifices, new gods, compelling storyline, future modding capability, streaming technology, adventurous mini-games and endless slashing, blasting and looting, Wave of Darkness is truly a Hack’n’Slash force to be reckoned with!

Last month Croatia based developer Dreamatrix  launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for a modest $20,000, and with 26 hours to go and counting, and 97% funded, Wave of Darkness needs one last push to get funded.

Wave of Darkness offers a large, open-ended rich fantasy world with free character development and advanced combat and survival features. Fans of RPGs looking for the ultimate gameplay experience will embrace the games addictive play, tons of customization and countless hours of fun!

Key Features:

• Players are free to move in this nonlinear world, in any direction they choose. As long as they have the necessary items or skills to survive in the field.
• Unlocking System with Runes: using specific runes or keys players can interactively unlock and activate locked chests or crates and other mechanisms in the game. 
• New expandable inventory with better item stacking and sorting
• New tooltips have more data for every single item type, including runes, potions and spells. Over 40 item types are upgraded and we introduced some new items such as relics, more scrolls, fishes (yes, you can fish now) and bags.
• Empowered items - some items have magical bonuses which draw their power from certain relics. Player can have up to four such relics active at any given time. These relics improve all item’s special bonuses.
• Blessed items - these items are blessed by one of three main gods - Perun, Svarog or Veles and they give players additional bonuses at the cost - each item has blessing that lasts for up to one hour of gameplay. Once blessing runs out, item behaves as normal non-magical item. Blessings can be 'recharged' using god shrines that are placed throughout the wilderness.
• Cursed items - these are magical items whose properties player does not know until he identifies such items using oracle stones. They look like normal or magical items but they carry curses with them. Once equipped, curse becomes active and item cannot be removed unless you visit the shrine of good god.
• Scrolls of summoning which summon various creatures to fight at your side. We have various elementals you can summon, undead creatures such as zombies or skeletons, and even some reptiles.
• With full freedom, explore hundreds of unique locations (dungeons, forts, camps, cemeteries, docks, mountains, canyons, flying islands, swamps, temples, shrines etc.)
• Fight your way through dungeons, caves, crypts, mausoleums and catacombs and rest in danian’s capitol Sidis Tarea.
• 200+ types of wild creatures and monsters that drop several loots so you stand a good chance of getting multiple valuable items.
• WOD is now 64-bit only. No memory problems whatsoever.
• Spell generator – original way to make your magic from runes.
• Discover different ways to use and combine more than 35 combat, creature lore, crafting, gathering, resistance and devotion skills
• Players can now craft normal items, magical, special, empowered and blessed items.
• System of sacrifices: The 3 gods; Perun, Veles and Svarog , each have their own shrines throughout the continent. Activating a shrine opens the sacrifice panel with options to sacrifice items and gain divine favours but evil statues act badly on you.
• New god has arrived: Chernobog
• Streaming technology enables playing without any loading screens. All data seamlessly loads in background.
