Soldak Cuts Price on Dephts of Peril for Mac OS X

Soldak Entertainment has announced that, this week only, it is featuring a special sale price for its action/strategy RPG, Depths of Peril. Through this week only, the game will set you back just $9.99. Depths of Peril puts you in the shoes of a faction leader engaged in defending the barbarian city of Jorvik. You must complete quests and fight monsters, while preparing to defeat rival factions in the race to rule the city.

“Building the power of a faction involves exploring a fantasy world, slaying dangerous monsters, solving quests for the city, avoiding deadly traps, and plundering loot to share within your faction,” Soldak Entertainment explains, delving into the game’s storyline. “But in this world, actions actually have consequences, so take care. Annoying the powerful and aggressive Legion of Fear faction will cause them to declare war and destroy you. Ignored Orc uprisings in the Black Forest will cause even more trouble. Protect ally covenants that are being raided, because friends are hard to come by.”

The main features of Soldak Entertainment’s Depths of Peril are:

- Unique blend of action RPG with strategy elements;
- Leader of one warring faction fighting for supremacy;
- Must navigate relationships with enemy factions using diplomacy, trade, war, and raids;
- Real and hard consequences from a living world;
- Breathing, evolving world;
- A deep wellspring of history (40+ short stories, 60,000+ words);
- Random, seamless world.

Depths of Peril requires a PowerPC or Intel 1.5 GHz processor on the player’s end, as well as 128MB of RAM, GeForce 2 (or other equivalent) graphics, and 150MB of hard drive space. Mac OS X 10.3.9 should also run Depths of Peril fine, but one needs OpenAL installed first. Gamers can download the OpenAL installer from Creative.
