Harbingers of New Dawn

Harbingers of New Dawn is a 4-player co-op (LAN) spell-casting shooter game set in a magical world overruled by dark arcane magic. Enter together as agents of an ancient magical task force, charged with a find and retrieve mission for a long lost enchanted artefact.  

___________________________

You and your fellow sorcerers must choose between four unique spells as a primary source of offence and defence. Dynamically switch in battle between the selected spells in your loadout to fully utilise their power:

• Deal high damage with the Fireball
• Temporarily stun enemies with a Freeze-ray
• Strike a group of enemies in a AOE with a Lightning Storm
• Or get out of danger by knocking back several enemies or a friend with a Air-Burst

Venture forth into a forgotten land of old and immerse yourself in a magical forest, the castle ruins in the valley and a fantastical temple fort on the mountain tops. In these parts danger is hiding from all sides, covered by eerie mysteries from a time long ago.

Guided by magical trees and supported by the ancient Trees of Wisdom, granting magical abilities to trained sorcerers, you set out where both larger and smaller dark magical creatures alike roam free. Strategise and neutralise any threat that stands in the way of the task force of retrieving the enchanted artefact.
