It's time to kick some dragon tail!

On the border of the human land of Valasia and the Dragon Lands is the quiet town of Lekunder. Ruled by King Randolf (who was elected King by the people because his last name is King), Lekunder was home to four elemental crystals that protected Valasia from monsters... Until the dragons came. They attacked the town, absconded with the four crystals, and kidnapped Princess Elandra. One of the dragons remained behind to deliver a ransom note to King Randolf. It read:

"Hand over your kingdom or the princess gets it!
PS - We mean business!
PSS - Don't send someone on a rescue mission. That would be annoying."

The note continued with a long list of PSS's. King Randolf was still reading it when Princess Krystana and her friends returned from a hunting trip and found out what had happened. Krystana didn't waste any time. She and her friends embarked on a quest to rescue Princess Elandra and recover the four crystals.

Features
+ No random encounters. All battles are non-repeating events.
+ Elemental combat. Each character has an elemental affinity with strengths and weaknesses. Master the powers of Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth. Use them to your advantage. But beware! The enemy has the same abilities you have.
+ Tough, smart battles. Go up against opponents who are closely matched with you. Use smart strategy to emerge victorious.
+ In-game tutorial.
+ Follow the story of Princess Krystana, Glaysa the elvish archer, Fhibbs the cowardly dwarf, and Jareth the wisecracking thief as they meet a cast of zany characters in the Dragon Lands.
+ Explore a world rich in detail. The Dragon Lands has rivers, lakes, hills, mountains, and plenty of sights to see. Visit an abandoned mining town, a temple, an intricate network of mines, a large palace, and a dragon cave. Five massive dungeons.
+ Day/Night phase for town characters.
+ Collect potion ingredients and bring them to a friendly sorceress who brews potions for you.
+ Collect valuable treasures and sell them for gold.
+ Get in-game hints from a fortuneteller.
+ Track your progress with a Quest Journal.
+ Collect special coins and use them for a vending machine.
+ Secrets galore! Scour the land in search of hidden items. Collect powerful bonus items that give you a nasty edge over the opposition. Visit six bonus dungeons and unlock their secrets.
+ 15 to 20 hours of gameplay.

The first of what will hopefully be many games by PNG. I hope it rocks.

It's on the queue.

Thanks!

Please do not review The Raiders Of Lekunder right now. I am going to be re-releasing it. Someone at the Pavilion found a bug that I just can't live with. So I'll be fixing it and maybe tweaking some other things. Then I'll be re-releasing it.

My girlfriend from California is currently visiting with me, and I have to wait for my sister to finish playing the game as well. Then I'll be getting back to work and making the necessary fixes and stuff. The re-release won't happen until mid-December at the earliest.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to re-release it at all. I spent two months debugging and working on it (and that, after six months of development). I was hoping to get it right the first time. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

This game has been successfully updated and re-released. The new version is much better than the previous one. Please add it back to your review queue.

Thanks.
