Video games publisher Rising Star Games has sent word about a new role playing game for the Sony PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo Wii. Called as Baroque, the game is addictively challenging as well as completely immersive and offers a pure RPG experience.

Baroque features hardcore dungeon-crawling role-playing action and has ever-changing levels, each swarming with wicked monsters and tormented souls.

Here is the story of Baroque:

You awaken to find the world in ruins, your heart beset with unexplained guilt. A cataclysm has destroyed the cities and empires of men and disfigured the spirit of humanity. In this nightmare, it falls to you to descend a mysterious tower in search of absolution. Battle merciless foes through treacherous dungeons, scour for new items to aid you in your travels and unlock the secrets of a devastated land. You will find death in the depths, yet learn that death is not the end of the story; in the twisted world of Baroque, it is only the beginning.
