The Old Gods have long been imprisoned. Humanity has prospered. Great Kingdoms have arisen from the now forsaken temples of worship. But no longer… In their final act of revenge, the Old Gods have unleashed a great Desolation upon the world. Farmlands have turned to desert, rivers to dust. The Great Crusade sent to slay the Imprisoned Gods once and for all, is all but vanished, and the human Kingdoms in disarray. A lone Warrior approaches the Citadel, ancient prison of the Gods. His objective is simple: slay them all.(Storyline via IGDB)
