Anvil of Dawn is what happens when 1995 tries to reinvent the fantasy RPG and ends up creating something strangely beautiful. It’s first-person, it’s real-time, and it’s dripping with atmosphere — from moody lighting to that voice acting that’s either brilliant or totally unhinged. The game lets you pick a hero to save the world from a dark warlord, then promptly drops you into labyrinthine dungeons filled with puzzles, traps, and suspiciously well-fed monsters. Combat is simple but satisfying, the story is told with a straight face, and the whole thing feels like a D&D campaign you half-remember from a dream.
