The Spirit Engine 2 (2008)

by Mark Pay

Developers description:
The Spirit Engine 2 is the follow up to the freeware game 'The Spirit Engine', originally released in November 2003. Set in a new world, with new characters, new graphics and a rewritten game engine, TSE-2 sets out to improve upon the game experience of the original in every possible way.

The Spirit Engine 2 features:
- An extensive plot spanning nine distinct chapters. History is unravelling in the once peaceful state of Lereftain. Murderous cults are running unchecked through the streets, parliament is bickering, tension is building with old enemies in the west and the country's inhuman rulers seem to be losing control of the situation. Three citizens who find their paths crossing in an act of charity one dark night will find themselves burdened with the responsibilty of not only defending the nation but deciding whether to save civilisation as they know it.
- All new and improved original graphics. Simple yet effective new effects, including parallax scrolling and screen-shake.
- The introduction of something sorely missing from the original - difficulty levels! Play at a level to suit you and either lock it there or feel free to change it as and when you like.
- An improved real-time combat system which builds upon the simplicity of the original. With an improved interface, greater control over characters, combat speed options and action synchronisation controls to make battles more tactical and more fun.
- New game combat mechanics such as automatic character recovery, party chains and combination strike damage bonuses.
- New, varied character skills to play with, including targetted attacks and debuffs, and a whole host of crafty, unfriendly creatures to use them on.
- A vast stock of equipable items with new abilities.

  I thought this was supposed to be a commercial title. Mark Pay told me... Otherwise - sure we are up for it.

  If it's as good as "The Spirit Engine" (which is still one of my favourite games) was, it should be a honour for us to host it.

  Will have screenies, info and such, but for the moment they're looking for the host. Are we up for the challenge? (edit: yep, we're up )

  Hm... I just downloaded it fully, and I was logged in while doing so. Can you report back wether you were logged in when trying?

  Thank you for reporting. Something is really wrong with the download. We are searching for the reason and hope that we can fix it soon.

  Every time I try to download this it always says "Download complete" at less than the full 209.9mb. It has stopped at 55mb, 120mb, 91mb, etc., etc. I have tried five or six times now.

  If you get the error that CD may be damaged, check the size of the download, it might be incomplete (If less than 209.90mb) and you will have to re-download.

  I'm really sorry, we got hit by Reddit and we weren't prepared for that. Now things seem to have slowed down a bit and I tried to download the game just now and it seemed to work just fine. If there are any issues just let us know!

  Doesn't work, error as the game is installing states that the CD may be damaged (which is a bad thing when you consider I'm not installing from a CD) Hope it works for everyone else :)
