Soul Fighter: The Curse Of Gomar
-At the age of 25, King Valmek, well-loved ruler of Gomar,
wed a princess from the northern frontier of his kingdom.
in time, his beautiful Queen Antea bears him two sons,
Sedan and Felies.
-All is well in the Kingdom of Gomar, until the day a royal
hunt is organized to celebrate the birthday of Sedan,
Valmek's eldest son. During the days' events, Sedan is
found at the bottom of a cliff, having fallen to his death.
The Curse of Gomar begins...
-Overcome with grief, Antea and Felies are prepared to try
anything to bring Sedan back to life. In their desperation,
they turn to the forces of evil in the ill-founded belief
that they can defy death. During the struggle to stop Antea
and Felies as they muster the powers of Darkness, Valmek's
Chief Swordsman is slain by Felies. His son, Altus, can
only watch helplessly.
-Horrified by their madness and in profound despair, Valmek
banishes Antea and Felies from Gomar, sending his Royal spy
Sayomi to follow them and discover any knowledge of their
fate.
-Sayomi's efforts reveal that Antea and Felies have pledged
their eternal allegiance to each other and, using their
ill-gotten powers of Evil, Antea has become capable of
dissolving into a mist that transforms men into beasts and
monsters, while Felies has turned into a monstrous dragon to
assail the kingdom of Gomar. Sayomi warns the King of her
dark news from her place of observation. As Antea turns the
might of her power against the kingdom, Gomar's Chief Wizard,
Orion, battles to save Altus and Sayomi from the onslaught,
but cannot save Valmek from his doom.
-The kingdom's salvation now lies in the hands of Orion who
explains to Altus and Sayomi that the only way to reverse
the curse upon the kingdom to capture the souls of those
under Antea's spell in a magic phial and return to where it
all began. Let the search for souls begin...
================================
4. Characters
================================
-Whichever Hero you choose, their goal is the same. Those
humans who have been transformed into animals must be defeated
in order for their souls to be released from the powers of
Evil. Once released, the souls are automatically captured
into a magic phial.
-Only when all the enemies have been defeated on each level
and all of the souls recaptured can the player take on the
mighty beasts that guard entry to the next stage and,
ultimately, to the final showdown with Antea and Felies in his
draconian form.
-Only by conquering the dark powers can the Curse of Gomar be
lifted, and the souls of the hero's kinsmen find their
eternal peace.
---------
- ALTUS -
---------
Story:
-Altus is the son of King Valmek's chief swordsman, Melkior.
Melkior was slain by Felies in his madness as the Powers of
Darkness were evoked and the Curse of Gomar descended on the
kingdom. Trained in the arts of Warfare from an early age,
Altus was already a master of the sword when his father was
killed, but could only watch, held in thrall by the powers of
Evil, while the deed was committed. Since the day that Antea
and Felies was banished, Altus has sworn to avenge the death
of his father, abandoning other studies to perfect his sword-
fighting skills and prepare for the Day of Reckoning when the
two Accursed Royals would be brought to justice.
-Though Altus is not the fastest fighter on two legs, learning
to control his brute, strength and combat techniques with the
sword should stand you in good stead against the evil minions
as you fight to save their souls.
---------
- ORION -
---------
Story:
-When Antea and Felies made their initial onslaught against
the Kingdom of Gomar, only the magical skills of Orion proved
successful in halting their advance. The powers of Evil have
since regrouped and enlarged their army...while the warrior
characteristics of Altus and Sayomi may be better suited to
out and out combat, Orion alone possesses the power to finally
lift the curse from the kingdom and destroy it to its previous
state.
-Though not skilled in the arts of swordsplay like Altus, nor
swift like Sayomi, his magic staff is a lethal weapon when used
properly. Use the magical firebolts to cut through the enemy
when they attach in swarms. Remember, as with all of the main
characters' weapons, to be careful not to run out of weapon-
energy in the middle of the melee, or you may not live to tell
the tale.
----------
- SAYOMI -
----------
Story:
-As a trusted servant of King Valmek, Sayomi was chosen to
spy upon Queen Antea and her son Felies after their banishment
from the Kingdom of Gomar. Renowned for her swiftness of foot
and cunning in hand-to-hand fighting, Sayomi proved more than
a match for the enemies she encountered during her mission to
discover the fate of the Accursed Royals.
-It was Sayomi who warned the Kingdom of the return of Antea
and Felies and would have been transformed into an animal
herself by Antea's evil mist Saved from the initial onslaught
of the dark powers by the skills of the Wizard, Orion. Soyomi
acts as the perfect counterpart to the brute force of Altus -
swift where he is slow and cunning where he is apt to be ruled
by anger as he runs to meet danger head-on.
================================
5. Enemies
================================
----------
Gargant
----------
Again, no weapons here, but these gorilla-like creatures are
notoriously difficult to defeat, but to their sheer physical
presence. The fact that they usually attack in numbers adds
further to your problems.
----------
Hiski
----------
Like the real animal, these hyena-like creatures are fast
and cunning. Extremely skilled with the short sword, be
careful not to turn your back on the hyena, or you may find
yourself literally stabbed in the back.
----------
Kalus
----------
So far you've only met opponents on the ground, so be
prepared to look up once in a while as well. Flying in from
above, raven-like creatures will try to kick you to the floor
using their taloned feet, as well as beat you with their
mighty wings.
----------
Klauticus
----------
Carrying no weapons, these tiger-like creatures can be
perceived as an easy target. Do not be misled. Their claws
have mutated into razorsharp killing machines, designed to
inflict maximum damage on contact.
----------
MechMouss
----------
Half mouse-half robot, do not be taken in by the minute size
of this robotic freak's head. What it may lack in
intelligence is more than made up for by the sheer bulk of
its body and the lethal nature of its electronic discharges.
Be warned.
----------
Miscus
----------
The most frightening of the aerial enemies, equipped with
razor-sharp claws and incredible strong wings. These bat-
like creatures are also capable of spitting firebolts from
a distance, so evasive measures are essential to defend
against them.
----------
Morticus
----------
Both the zombie monsters and the Frankenstein-type monsters
have incredible strength and will knock you to the floor with
a single blow. Beware of the vicious headbutts and foul,
biting attack in close combat.
----------
Mutabuzk
----------
Like the ravens, these fly-like creatures will attack from
above, but not only with vicious claws and feet. Stand back
from them and they will spit vile, green and exceptionally
damaging mucous at you. Avoid at all costs.
----------
Orgks
----------
Though renowned for their supposed intelligence in real-life,
there is nothing too smart about these pig-like creatures.
Armed with vicious, spiked clubs, all they want to do is shed
your blood at the earliest opportunity.
----------
Paguos
----------
Well-known for their deviousness, these rat-like creatures
are heavily armed with long range crossbows, though are not
as effective in close melee. Try to get in close as quickly
as possible to attack them.
----------
Raymus
----------
Obstinate, stubborn and always ready for a fight, the ram-like
creatures are armed with double-headed Fugil Sticks that are
difficult to get past in close combat. Be sure to line up
some combo attacks to defeat them.
----------
Rhinotor
----------
Don't be fooled by the lack of weapons here. The rhino-like
creature is a formidable foe, not least for his sheer size and
physical prowess. One blow from those mighty paws could spell
the end of your days wandering.
----------
Scalous
----------
As they slither across the floor, these snake-like creatures
are notoriously difficult to defend against. Be prepared to
use your defensive skills as they make random strikes against
you.
----------
Schingles
----------
Skilled in the arts of gladiatorial warfare, the skeletons may
not be the strongest enemies you will come up against, but they
will certainly slow your progress though each level.
----------
Slimnus
----------
Inhabiting the foul swamps of the outlands, these evil smelling
lizard-like creatures will try to drag you down into their damp
dwellings. Armed with ferocious, electrically charged tridents,
one touch could sink you and the hopes of Gomar.
----------
Taytus
----------
One of the most dangerous adversaries, as these are the
transformed bodies of the elite of Gomar's former noble
warriors, trained in the use of the sword and equipped with
the cunning of their new fox-like creature form.
----------
Valtus
----------
Most of Gomar's former sailing force has been transformed into
these walrus-like sea-dwellers and, though not as quick, they can
do untold damage with their short pirate swords when they attack
en masse.
----------
Viscus
----------
Even more lethal than its normal counterpart, these white tiger-
like creatures carry two short swords and is exceptionally
skilled in their use. Again, long distance attacks are advised
where possible.
----------
Volup
----------
Like the ravens, these vulture-like creatures will attack from
above and, like its real-life counterpart, will usually join in
a multiple enemy attack to pick you off when injured. Watch out
for its clawed feet and wing combo attack.
----------
Zeenus
----------
Armed with two short daggers, the wolf-like creature is ideally
equipped for close, hand-to-hand combat. Coupled with its
enormous strength, the wolf should be taken out from afar when
at all possible.

10. Tips
================================
-Asleep/Awake: Some enemies may appear to be sleeping when you
approach them. Be sure to attack those first, as they will be
slower to react than those that are on ground.
-Attack speed: Different enemies take different times to
respond to attack. Work out which ones are the slowcoaches and
plan your attacks to perfection to make the most of any brief
breathing space.
-Energy level: Like the main characters, each enemy has an
energy level. When the player hits an enemy, each hit takes
away a certain amount of energy (this can be seen on the top
right of the screen). The enemy is dead when its energy level
reaches zero.
-Aggression level: Each enemy has a certain aggression level
which increases when the player fires weapons at them in the 1st
person view mode or attacks continually at close range. Be
warned, an angry animal is a deadly animal.
