NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Seeking to resurrect a deceased maiden that was
sacrificed, a valiant hero enters Dormin's domain
and seeks his help. Before the godly Dormin will
move a muscle to aid the dead girl, he asks the hero
to destroy humongous colossi that roam the land.
With only a magic sword and a faithful steed at his
disposal, the hero rides into battle against mammoth
humanoid creatures...
In addition to its primary use as a weapon, the hero's sword also
serves as a colossi tracker. By holding it aloft and
following the beacon that emits from it, the hero
finds monsters to slay. The first brute carries a
cudgel and slams it downwards to wreck the local
area. During the first battle, arrows will stick in
the monster's fur like pinpricks. If you attack from
a distance, the colossi will attempt to crush you
with its massive reach and cudgel. If you get up
close, he'll attempt to stomp with both feet while
the ground quakes and ripples with every step. The
key is to scale the colossus and attack it like a
mosquito while looking for its key damage points
with the sword's light. As you're hanging onto the
colossus' fur, it will shake its limbs in an attempt
to dislodge you.

NCS Game Notes
» The intro to the game shows a hawk flying
through a mountainous expanse before passing a rider
on a horse. The rider leaps across a chasm and
continues on his way. Eventually they reach a lake
and the rain starts falling. As the horse drinks and
shakes off water and they continue again, passing
through green fields until they reach a mighty
structure amidst the greenery. Rider makes his way
to the top and eventually crosses a bridge to reach
a castle.
» Upon starting the game, the intro cinema continues
and the rider reaches the castle. The gate rises and
the horse neighs its disapproval but the rider urges
on into the darkness while the gate closes behind
them. After entering a chamber, we see that it
reaches several leagues below in a conical shaped
structure. Hero makes his way deeper into the castle
until he reaches a room where sunlight filters down.
Stone creatures line the walls.
» The rider dismounts in the room and carries a dead
girl up a flight of stairs and places her into a
stone bed of sorts with a big structure hanging over
it. Rider pulls off the cloak covering the girl and
a voice over introduction begins to tell the story
of the game...
» As the boy stands there watching the girl, shadowy
shapes rise from the stone floor and hero unsheaths
his sword. The shadowy creatures seem to frolic.
Hero points sword at them and they dissipate.
» A booming voice echoes through the halls. It's
Dormin. Dormin controls the souls of the dead. Hero
wants his help to bring the sacrificed girl back
from the dead. Dormin tells hero that the Ancient
Sword he carries can be used to bring the girl back
but asks that he destroy the idols on the side of
the wall. But the idols can't be destroyed by a mere
mortal. Dormin tells him that in the land, there are
colossi that are the incarnations of the idols. If
he defeats the colossi, the idols will fall. Hero
accepts the mission.
» Guiding a horse with the Dual Shock thumbpad takes
a little of practice but mastery can be achieved
after a few minutes of turning and goading it to
gallop with the "X" button.
» As the horse thunders along, little tremors may be
felt through the Dual Shock rumble. The horse's
breath may also be heard as it pants up a storm
while carrying hero's bulk on its back.
» Running though bare ground will leave a solid
sound. Running through grass will change the
footfalls to a sound that seems to be feet on
rustilng hay. When the hero is exerting himself,
he'll pant and huff from the exertion. As the life
meter runs low, the hero will slouch over while
panting from the exhaustion.
» During the first battle with a colossi, notice
that your arrows will stick in its fur like
pinpricks. If you attack from a distance, it will
attempt to crush you with its massive reach and
cudgel. If you get up close, he'll attempt to stomp
with both feet while the ground quakes and ripples
with every step. The key is to scale the colossus
and attack it like a mosquito while looking for its
key damage points by using the sword's light. As
you're hanging onto the colossus' fur, it will shake
its limbs in an attempt to dislodge you.
