Orcs & Elves is a fantasy RPG created by id Software and developed by Fountainhead Entertainment and has also been confirmed for Nintendo's DS. This installment is said to come with even more levels, weapons and foes. In fact, everything you need to know about the game is listed below, as the two companies behind Orcs & Elves have rolled out this comprehensive fact sheet for it.

So here's what a DS port of Orcs & Elves is all about. In this dungeon-crawling

As a young half-elf, the player explores the ancient mountain-citadel of Zharrharag, a massive Dwarven fortress riddled with ancient treasure, powerful weapons and waves of ruthless enemies.

Naturally, Orcs & Elves for the DS uses the handheld's touchscreen capabilities - the perfect control scheme to solve devious puzzles, overcome deadly traps and unleash magical powers with an arsenal of arcane items such as magic potions, enchanted rings, dragon scale armor and an enchanted wand.

There will be thirteen mystical weapons to master, including magical swords, deadly crossbows and a powerful war hammer. But gamers can also make friends along their way, one of which is an ancient dragon that'll aid them fight their way into the deepest reaches of the mountain fortress.

To break it down for you, here are the game's key features:

■ Explore a Dungeon Teeming with Adventure: Travel through a Dwarven citadel's twelve massive levels, each riddled with evil forces and ancient treasure.

■ Put your Best RPG Strategies to the Test: Solve devious puzzles, overcome deadly traps and battle massive forces of foul beasts.

■ Master Unique Weapons and Items: Wield extraordinary weapons including a sentient wand, a powerful warhammer and magic swords. Use the DS Touch Screen to cast spells and make use of magic potions, enchanted rings and dragonscale armor.

■ Unravel an Award-Winning Storyline: With over ten hours of handheld gaming, escape to a place of adventure, mystery, and sorcery with Orcs & Elves, the new first-person adventure from id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment.

■ New For the DS: A 3D game engine, new creatures, three new levels, new potions and four new spells will thrill even the most seasoned adventurer, giving them reason to journey back into Zharrharag.
