KAAN YOU FEEL THE FORCE?

Become a master of the blade in Mindscape’s hack ‘n’ slash epic

You’ll need to be fast with your hands and nimble on your feet to masterKaan: Barbarian’s Blade, a hugely appealing 3D adventure for PlayStation 2to be released by Mindscape in September 2003. With engaging cartoon stylegraphics and a wide assortment of weapons to master and monsters tovanquish, Kaan is set to hold the player’s interest throughout its 17hacking and slashing levels.

The hero of the game, the young Barbarian Kaan, takes on a mission torecover the stolen Orb Of Hope. This mission takes him from the towns ofAsaquan to the Syrkonian lands, and involves him in encounters withskeletons, sorcerers, bear-men and huge monsters, among many others.

Kaan has a number of weapons at his own disposal to help fend off thefiendish hordes. He must learn to master the long sword, hammer and jetaxe, each of which can be used in many different combinations to defeathis enemies. However, it is Kaan’s agility that will often help him themost – he can leap, dodge and charge his foes.

For an added challenge, players can fight in Arena mode, against dozens ofenemies and with an additional bonus quest thrown in.

“While the action in Kaan is fast and furious and will give players aconstant challenge, we believe that it’s the look and feel and the qualityof the animation that will ensure players come back to Kaan again andagain,” says Stefan McGarry, Games PR and Product Manager, from Mindscape.“You can pick up and play the game in an instant – but it will take a lotlonger than that to master all its moves and intricacies.”

Kaan: Barbarian’s Blade will be published by Mindscape for PS2 inSeptember 2003, and, priced at just £19.99, is destined for mass appeal.
