Jager Tharn, has imprisoned him in another dimension and it’s up to you to stop him by finding and reassembling the fabled Staff of Chaos. Weather effects like snow, rain or fog hamper your visibility when traversing the countryside, but really they are there to give the game a nice atmospheric touch.Īrena’s storyline is good but altogether not quite on par with recent arrivals like Betrayal at Krondor or Ultima VII.

There’s an entire world to explore, with myriad villages, cities and dungeons (of course) awaiting you, all rendered in smooth-scrolling 3D. But unlike Ultima Underworld, Arena doesn’t limit your exploration to underground dungeons. Much like Origin’s Ultima Underworld, Arena is a first-person role-playing game with a heavy bent on dungeon crawls.
