Welcome to Shadowvale, where the last remnants of magic remain in this world
and where fantastic creatures thrive and the strange is ordinary.

Nethergate is played from an isometric view and the game view scrolls tile
by tile. You can play from two sides: the Celts or the Romans. If you choose
to be the Celts, you fight to protect Shadowvale from the conquering Romans
and attain freedom for your people. If you choose to be the Romans, you work
to bring order to the land and to remove the presence of a small rebelling
tribe. The game takes place in the same world and dungeons no matter what side
you play from, but the story and the way you’ll be received in different towns
are completely different.

The combat is handled with a rather simple interface: click in the direction
you want a party member to go, click in the direction of a monster if you want
to attack it, select the cast spell option and click on the monster you want
to cast the spell on. If you look at your characters’ statistics, you will
find about 30 skills and attributes as well as a disadvantage/advantage
section.

When you win battles and complete quests, your characters get skill points.
You can then go to a training center to use your skill points and assign them
to skills of your selection.
