## Description

King Krolh and the Divine Sceptre have been taken away by a dark winged
creature. Now the Isle of Helherron is in chaos, monsters are raiding the
villages, and many feel a curse has fallen over the lands. A party of
adventuring heroes is the only hope to restore order and discover the fate of
the missing King.

_Helherron_ is a role-playing game with an emphasis on turn-based tactical
combat. Control a party of 8 characters that can be created from 9 unique
races, and 10 classes. Along with the standard Human, Elf, Dwarf races
available, some of the more usual races are Troll, Orc, and Golem; the Golem
are unique to this game and unusually strong. Level-based advancement occurs
with rewarded skill points to spend. The game also has a spell system and
plenty of items to find.

Written with the Allegro game development library, this game uses a basic 2D
tile system with original, though somewhat crude graphics. Everything in the
game is an object, so searching or interacting will at least provide a basic
description (“A window”, “A beautiful spruce”, etc). A sound card is supported
with a few sound effects but no in game music exists.

_Helherron_ bears a noticeable resemblance to Nahlakh, sharing many of the
same game features even its use of a comprehensive, built in help system.

The game was originally released as shareware, but has since been offered to
the public as freeware.
