The briefing

About this game

Ishar: Legend of the Fortress is a role-playing game and sequel to Crystals of Arborea. The story follows Krogh, the child of the defeated black god Morgoth and his witch wife Morgula, as he plots to enslave the population of Kendoria from his base in the fortress of Ishar.

Players take the role of a traveler who can be aided by up to five companions while fighting through the fortress, defeating Krogh, and opposing the spread of chaos. Unlike its predecessor, the game uses a first-person perspective and real-time combat instead of turn-based battles.
