In fine Ultima tradition you need to eat in order to live, or you will starve. Strength of attacks is determined the same way as in Underworld, there’s a similar paperdoll inventory system, and the world is absolutely packed to the brim with little details. The game plays eerily similarly to Underworld, right down to a control scheme where you can freeze what you’re looking at and interact with things on-screen with the mouse cursor, like in an adventure game. His first goal is simply to figure out what’s going on, and later happens upon a plot by the God of Destruction of this world to manifest itself, which he as a plucky hero must stop. Above-ground creatures have taken refuge in subterranean caverns, and it is in one of these that the protagonist awakens. This is Ultima Underworld with the serials filed off, as it were.Īrx Fatalis is set on a dying world where the sun has failed, a premise straight out of Jack Vance. They failed, and so the game was released with an original setting and story instead of the intended Britannian setting. The developers confess to being heavily influenced by the work of Looking Glass Studios, particularly Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, and actually sought to get the license for the Ultima name from Electronic Arts. Created by French developers Arkane Studios, Arx Fatalis is the closest thing available to a third Ultima Underworld game.
