Hard to be a God Preview

The folks at Hooked Gamers have kicked up a two-page preview of Akella and Burut's upcoming third-person action RPG, Hard to be a God.
Besides the medieval weapons such as axes and swords that are indigenous to the planet, the player has access to highly advanced Earthmen equipment. The '˜Scorcher' for instance is, suffice to say, a flamethrower type weapon that can deal pain like nothing else. It is but one of the over a hundred types of weapons that are divided into 3 levels. In the Light class we find one handed melee weapons, the Medium class carries weapons similar to staves and twin-bladed weapons and weapons such as two handed axes and swords are found in the Large class. The player is able to combine one handed weapons with shields for more protection.
