Delphine Software International today announced that its highly anticipated 3D action, role-playing game Darkstone has gone gold. Darkstone is being published in the US by Gathering of Developers and will ship on July 26th.

Darkstone is a Diablo-style game that touts 22 adventurous scenario-led quests, dual character control, and endless replayability.

Through 32 unique dungeons, players confront monsters and creatures such as lizardmen, poisonous scorpions, and vampires, as well as underworld bosses like the Prince of Darkness.

Darkstone's features include:

• 100 different enemies based on 30 creature types such as spiders, skeleton captains and a Medusa.
• 22 types of weapons including hammers and two-handed swords to ward off diabolical enemies.
• 22 character-oriented skills such as the Magician's ability to detect magical objects.
• 32 spells such as language, which allows players to decrypt chat messages during multi-player games, and transformations to cast upon evil creatures and opponents.
• Night mode in the second half of the game to test gamers' nocturnal skills.
• Simultaneous control of two characters with the option to set the secondary character on either offensive or defensive mode.
• Ability to team with up to eight players to duel over the Internet or a LAN.
