So yeah.. I only know one guy who's played it, or even knew of it other then me. And it's just one of the most amazing and awesome games. The art design is just different from almost any game I've seen. It has both dark things and a lot humor at the same time, and (though almost unused) epic multiplayer.
Charnel>all
For those of you have no clue what I'm talking about. It's combination of RTS and third person I guess. Your a wizard who can (depending on your level/how far in the campaign you are) summon a few buildings, units, and offcourse, cast a wide range of spells.
Theres 5 god's in the game (who are hilarious) and choosing for whom you will fight changes the entire campaign (except for the last mission) at some points god's may dissapear, or just not want you anymore because of the deeds you have done.
After each mission you choose a mission by going for one god. You get one new spell and monster spell from that god's spellbook which you keep.
(in multiplayer you just choose one god and get his spells, or you can use your single player spellbook)
All in all, it's just a very creative game.
This game is from 2000 btw, so all considering, the graphics are actually quite amazing.
Here's some gameplay,

And for a laugh, heres the God's introductions:

Played this game, and ran something like: James for a few missions then swapped to Charnel (for the re-animation spells) then back to Stratos until game end. The dialogue was good, though the fights left something to be desired at times.
It was alright, though without certain abilities the final level is just a stretch to complete.
To quote the Channel 4 show, Peep Show: "I'm cancelling out of shame, like my subscription to White Dwarf"
