DESCRIPTION

Despite being imprisoned within a volcano, the demon god Malifon has transformed the world into an arctic wasteland. In Demon's Winter, five adventurers embark on a treacherous quest to undo Malifon's curse and locate the spells needed to permanently end his dark influence. Choose from human, dwarf, elf, or dark elf races as you create your five-person party. Characters are assigned one of ten classes, ranging from a barbarian and wizard to a thief and scholar. The main screen is divided into three panels that display a static image of the world, a list of party members, and a description of the scene. An enemy encounter switches the perspective to an isometric view, where each character alternates turns and moves, attacks, casts spells, or uses items based on his or her available action points. Battle on land or at sea as you decide how best to fulfill your quest, with your actions leading to multiple endings. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
