“Orient: A Hero’s Heritage” is a highly re-playable game that will entertain you many times over. The state-of-the-art Finite-State-Machine structure of the game story will allow the player to play as a good or evil character, and the storyline will change accordingly. Friends might become foes, foes might turn into strong allies, and beasts may be your best friends, and although there is a way back from wrong decisions most of the times, you will have to choose your friends wisely, for it will determine the fate of Atar and Iran.

* “Pehlivan” is a title bestowed on great warriors of ancient Iran. It was especially reserved for those who not only possess great courage and skills in combat, but who also value above all else honor, wisdom and art: Warrior-sages who protected the weak, and lived a clean and pure life.
