In the realm of indie horror gaming, DreadXP and Torple Dook have joined forces to bring us Hand of Doom, an immersive wizard simulator that promises to unleash the dark forces of sorcery like never before. Available now on PC via Steam, this game takes players on a gripping journey across multiple planes of existence as they confront the malevolent Doomlords who hold the fate of reality itself.
A New Chapter in the Dread X Collection
Originally introduced as part of the renowned Dread X Collection, Hand of Doom has expanded into a full-fledged game where you assume the role of an apprentice wizard eager to gain more power. However, your ambitions are thwarted when you find yourself trapped in an arcane realm under the control of the enigmatic and omnipresent Master. Bound by a BLOOD OATH, you must navigate the perilous planes of existence, choosing to either slay or befriend the formidable Doomlords.
Embrace the Dark Atmosphere
Hand of Doom sets the stage with its dark and mystifyingly unsettling environments that pay homage to the dungeon crawler RPGs of the early 90s. The blend of pixel art and live-action FMV creates a nostalgic aesthetic that immerses players in a hauntingly atmospheric world. Accompanied by a doom metal-inspired soundtrack, including tracks by artist Hexenkraft, the game intensifies the experience, making every decision and encounter more chilling than the last.
Spells, Zones, and Choices
With Hand of Doom, players are granted access to a vast arsenal of over 30 spells, each waiting to be discovered and unleashed upon their foes. Traverse five unique zones, each with its own distinct themes, bosses, and stories, as you strive to escape the clutches of the arcane realm. The game’s innovative syllabic spellcasting mechanic requires you to learn and perform arcane incantations one word at a time, providing a unique and immersive gameplay experience.
Embark on a Dark Journey
Hand of Doom invites you to take control of your destiny and decide the fate of the realms. Will you become a merciless judge, dispensing agony and death to all who oppose you? Alternatively, you can seek companionship and recruit allies to aid you in your quest. The choices you make will shape your journey and determine the outcome of this harrowing adventure.
