Old Hack and Slash PC game [Solved - Dark Vengeance]

[elcreyo]

Hello, everyone. I decided to finally make this thread.

I'm looking for a PC hack and slash game which is pretty old. I used to play a demo of this game when I was a kid. It was a third person hack and slash game with a multiplayer mode. I remember a deathmatch like game mode with weapons all over the map such as axes or crosbows. It was a typical medieval like fantasy game (or at least that's what I remember it to be). You could play as a gladiator guy. When you started a singleplayer game there was a short cutscene where he was doing push ups or something like that. You could play as some chick but I barely remember what she was doing or how she looked like. There was also a third character but I can't remember who was it. I do realize that there might be a lot of games with this kind of stuff but I hope that's enough information for some of you to maybe recognize this game and give me a title. It would be awesome to find that game. If there are any errors, sorry. Not my native language.

Have you tried googling "3rd person hack and slash from 1990"?

Of course I did but no luck.

Same here too. Even did separate years. That's what gave me a pic to it, but no link or description. Wonder if it was abandoned and never released or was just a demo that didn't pull through...

This may jog your memory.
Here is an archive of PC Gamer magazines with related cover discs over at the Internet Archive website:

If not from PC Gamer, maybe theres a magazine in this more generalised collection that seems familiar with the cover disc:

Perhaps it was an old PC Format cover disc?

Thanks. I will check it now.

Not sure if this was answered yet but sounds a lot like Blades of Darkness, a game which I loved

Yeah, we were already talking about it. Unfortunately, it's not that.

Any news on the progress of the game hunt?

Maybe Dark Vengeance? It was a 3rd person hack'n'slash game that came out during that time period. There were three characters to choose from, one of which was a muscular gladiator and one of which was female. Axes and crossbows were some of the available weapons.

Only thing is, as far as I can recall it was single player only. I could be mistaken though, it was a long time since I played it.

Another option might be Hexen 2, which did have a multiplayer mode, axes and crosbbows, 4 choose able characters one of which was a melee type guy and one which was female. But I seem to recall it was first person not 3rd person.

I remember Hexen, beyong Heretic, made by 3D Realms. Was a fun game, but that's not it.

Dark Vengeance I'm not sure. It looks like it may be it.

Yes. Dark Vengeance is what I was looking for. Thanks for help, everyone in this thread. Thank you, Murgen.

Seems like it. I just found it on some emulation site which have old pc games as well. Can't post a link here since Steam deletes it. I can't run this game on Windows 10, though. Trying to figure it out.
