Today is an auspicious day, GAF! Do you know why? Well, if you had any taste in good video games you would, because today marks the release of GARSHASP: TEMPLE OF THE DRAGON, the much-anticipated prequel to the 2011 computer entertainment product blockbuster, Garshasp: The Monster Slayer. Developed with the stunning graphics engine and assets of the last Garshasp game, Gshp:TotD features such modern amenities as...

• Deep hack and slash combat system with various combo moves
• Cinematic in-game camera following the epic journey
• Fantasy mythological world filled with ferocious monsters from ancient literature and Persian Mythology
• Epic environments
• Mythology based story
• Platforming elements
• ...And possibly even more!

If that's not enough for you, feast your eyes on these breathtaking screenshots!

How much would you pay for the opportunity to go on such a dramatic, harrowing journey into mystery, danger, adventure, and exultation? $100? $500? Well, you can stow it, Moneybags, because for a limited time, Garshasp: Temple of the Dragon is available for the paltry sum of $4.49, a jaw-dropping 10.02% discount on the already outrageous MSRP of $4.99. These Earth-shaking revelations leave us with just one question: Why aren't you playing right now?

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the moving storyline and complex gameplay mechanics of the greatest action-fantasy franchise in video game history, feel free to take a look at this convenient primer by my good friend Bro Team Pill. May the Mace of Trit be with you!

*Not really.

A job well done Garshasp!
If they get the same narrator I might get this.

 

[QuantumBro]

OP, the last three images all link to the second image.

I'm assuming that this game is all about Garshasp becoming the monster slayer.

 

[Mejilan]

Eh. The first one got pretty much crushed by the critical reviews.

I wonder over how many more heads this thread is going to go.

Then again the game wasn't that bad, especially if you take into consideration the budget/developer.

Purchasing as soon as I finish Torchlight 2/Borderlands 2. So hype.

True enough. Garshasp is hilariously unbalanced and full of bugs, but it's actually playable and perhaps even enjoyable, at least in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 kind of way.

All I know is garsharsp has a fucking sword and he's the fucking monster slayer. Let's fucking do this.

That's the aspect of this that actually goes over people's heads.

GARSHASP!

I own the original game for some reason and I've never really played it.

It's extremely short, might be a good way to kill a few hours if you don't play it on hard.

A solid OT.
