Enclave is a third-person (first-person selectable) 3D action RPG from Starbreeze Studios, released for both the Windows PC, and Xbox game system. In the game, players can choose to take on the role of either an agent of Light, or a soldier of Darkness, complete with separte and unique missions reflecting the nature of that decision. Battle takes place in an atmospheric medieval realm where spellcraft and sorcery combine with wood and steel to create awesome weapons, and powerful magic spells.
[edit] Story
Enclave takes place in a world literally torn-apart by magic. A millennia ago, the dark armies of Vatar had battled the people of Celenheim to the brink of destruction. During the final, desperate battle, a lone figure, clad in a wizard's robe, appeared high atop a ridge, staff held upraised in both hands. Defiantly, he slammed the staff hard into the ground, unleashing the terrible fury of nature itself. In that single night, the world erupted. The skies grew black, and the earth turned red with fire, chaos, and blood. The Rift raced forward, tearing the ground apart, and destroying everything in its horrifying path. In the aftermath, the demon Vatar and the mysterious wizard had disappeared, and were both assumed dead.
Light had separated from dark, and the world had been been split in twain. The new "island" of Celenheim was protected on all sides by an abyssal rift, and its people safe from the dark twisted forms now struggling for survival on the other side. To the people of Celenheim, these creatures became known as the Outlanders.
The inhabitants of the Enclave, as it came to be called, grew strong and prospherous over the centuries, nearly forgetting the bitter hatred harbored for them from those confined to the war-ravaged plains of the Outland. But now, after hundreds of years, the Rift has begun to seal, even becoming crossable in places. The very earth is healing beneith their feet. It's only a matter of time before another full-scale war errupts, threatening the very existence of Celenheim.
