Lords of Doom is a computer game released in 1990.

The game was developed by Jörg Karwath through the Starbyte company. It is a mixture of adventure and role-playing game and was one of the first games for the C64 that could be operated with a mouse. In addition to the C64, the game was released for PC, Amiga and Atari ST. It also appeared on the Bestseller Games .

The locations have the typical 3D construction kit look that was also used in games such as Eye of the Beholder or Elvira . In total, the game consists of 101 different locations and contains four different animated opponents.

The aim of the game is to play the role of the four characters Sharon, Charlie, Susan Leicester and Abraham Van Halen in an abandoned town called Vertic to kill the chief vampire, chief werewolf, chief zombie and the chief mummy. To solve the game, the player has to solve some puzzles, for example making ammunition for the crossbow or silver cartridges for the pistol.

service

To go from one place to another, click on the arrows that are arranged around the image window. A direction arrow is only available if there is an exit in this direction. If you click on an arrow, the currently active character starts moving and you find yourself in the adjacent room.

copy protection

The original version contains copy protection, which complicates the game and no longer enables the solution. If a character dies, the game immediately crashes. According to the walkthrough, one of the four characters should lose his life to save the remaining three.
