Description
About This Game
A challenge has been set by the Druids of the High Temple! You and your tribe have to compete with up to three others to find the Moonstone and bring it back to the Stone Circle. The prize is ultimate power!
Sounds simple enough if it wasn't for the small matter of the Black Knights.
They have other ideas. Their masters have sworn them to destroy the Moonstone - and you with it.
They have a whole gang of extremely nasty friends to help them. These include hammer-wielding Trogs, vicious Ratmen, Mudmen of the wetlands and the terrible lady known as The Guardian.
Moonstone is a remarkable combination of fast, aggressive combat action and subtle role-play that, perhaps uniquely, challenges your brain - while it covers you in gore.
Oh, by the way, if the sight of so much blood upsets you, don't worry. The blood is an option!
