Dark Sun: Shattered Lands screenshots

Title screen

Main menu

Character creation. A good selection of classes and races

The intro is short, but goes straight to the point...

This is where you start the game. I let my half-giant be the leader. The atmosphere of the game world is rather heavy and intentionally bleak

You start with a few easy battles against arena monsters - you are a gladiator, after all...

An early dialogue with your "master" in the slave pens. There are quite a few topics and choices!

The slave pens is the first large location you'll explore. It's rather grim...

Main in-game menu with basic character info. I opened my cleric's level 3 spells - impressive array!..

Character attribute and inventory screen. It's all very intuitive. This is my female human thief character...

...and this is... well... one of the game's several races, and certainly the most unique one! Can you determine the gender??..

When you level up you can choose which spells you want to learn for your mages, clerics, and psionic users

You've escaped into a somewhat more civilized area early in the game

The area maps are very helpful!

This sewer area is more than just a dungeon - it has a settlement, several quests, and a couple of nice secrets!

A heated battle in a temple is almost over. Look at all those bodies...

Fighting what looks like a giant red frog while carefully treading the stones...

This lovely area has the most vegetation in the game

Many of the game's connecting areas look like that - there is quite a bit of desert, but always with some interesting things to discover and people to find

Take a look at this area map! Impressive, isn't it?..

Fighting a giant scorpion on the crossroads

One of the game's several villages - and this house is considered large. The game world is not very urban

Village market - a strange statue, a well, and a fruit seller

Fighting wyverns and bandits at once! This green icon is spell placement - for monster summoning, in this case

Conversations and choices in the caravan trader area

Lovely area with a beautiful hand-drawn look. I made my strange creature the leader of the party

A stony area with skeletons - my cleric casts protective "pillows" on my warrior

You can make the whole party visible outside of combat, too. Here, you see how you can move that gray chest anywhere - I tried putting it on the table...
