Stand against the Sorcerer – a servant of the evil god Chernobog – to rescue the last priestess of the goddess Mokosh and liberate the land from his tyrannical rule. As a Slavic warrior named Svaran, you must overcome not only magical creatures and lethal contraptions but also a terrible curse that has turned your body to stone. You need to keep your killer streak going – otherwise, your body will begin to disintegrate, eventually costing you limbs and the ability to wield weapons!
