The Wheel of Time: is a first-person shooter video game based on Robert Jordan's fantasy series of the same name. It was
released in 1999 by Legend Entertainment.
The game is based on Unreal Engine technology, and combines elements of first-person-shooter games such as Unreal with
strategy/role-playing game elements. The game can be played either in single player or multiplayer modes, which determine the
course of the game. In the single-player game, the story centers on a character made for the game: Elayna Sedai, the Keeper of
the Chronicles of the White Tower.
Wheel of Time's gameplay is very similar to a first-person-shooter, but instead of normal weapons the player is given a wide
assortment of over 40 ter'angreal - magical artifacts which can cast specific spells. These artifacts range from offensive
weapons, to shield and healing spells, to various more complex spells, such as one which swaps the player's location with the
target.
The Wheel of Time is based on the fantasy book series written by Robert Jordan. It is actually a prequel to the book series and
thus, many of the characters will be unfamiliar to the player who has also read the series of books.
At the start of the single-player game the Aes Sedai sisterhood have two of the seals but recently had a third one stolen from
them. The head of the Aes Sedai learns that a sect of their sisterhood, known as the Black Ajah, is dedicated to the Dark One and
responsible for allowing invaders to steal one of the seals. You take on the role of Elayna Sedai, Keeper of the Chronicles of the
White Tower and member of the Brown Ajah. Elayna Sedai is the only one who is powerful enough to retire the stolen seal and
therefore has now been given the role of leader of the Aes Sedai.
In the multi-player games players can be one of four characters: Elayna Sedai, The Leader of the Children of Light, The Hound, or
The Forsaken. Players battle against each other in one of two modes of play: Arena or Citadel. Arena is a death match mode for
up to 16 players where the player with the most kills wins.
Citadel is for up to four people and can be set up with either two, three, or four citadels. Players, or teams, control a citadel and
a predetermined number of seals. The objective is to capture one or more seals from the enemy and place those seals with the
seal they already have on their altar. The first thing players must do in a game is hide their seal(s), place traps and alarms, and
distribute troops throughout their citadel.
In both the single-player and multi-player modes, players do battle using magical artifacts called ter'angreal. The Wheel of Time
includes 40 artifacts, some are used for offense while others are used for defense. Depending on the artifact in possession players
will be able to perform such actions as shoot lightning, hide themselves in a cloak, and swap places with their enemy.
The Wheel of Time can be viewed using either a first-person or third-person perspective. Items displayed on the screen include:
the player's character portrait that displays their current health, number of keys being carried, good affects character is under,
bad affects character is under, a timer (if current level is time-based), and artifacts being carried.
