The mysterious environment of Arx is set in a world that has been shrouded in darkness ever since the sun disappeared in the year 226 and the son of King Poxsellis moved the whole city into the underground dwarf mines. With more than 40 different races (goblins, dwarves, rat men, giant spiders and more) living in the mines tensions are high and building all the time. Now the evil cult of Akbaa seeks to raise a terrifying god to rule the land. Travelling from another dimension and suffering from total amnesia, the player is confronted by this world on the brink of disaster. They must save Arx and themselves before the force of evil is summoned to impose his reign of terror.
Through their journey of survival and discovery, players must investigate the strange happenings in Arx and slowly unravel the complex story of who they really are. The player will fight using a variety of weapons (ranging from wooden clubs to powerful swords) inside a deadly underground fortress against numerous foes, including goblins, trolls, rat men and other vicious opponents. But brute physical force is not always enough! In addition to using weapons, the player must master the magical spells contained within the intuitive and powerful rune magic system in order to defeat the cult.
