Anvil of Dawn is a first-person dungeon-crawling RPG developed by DreamForge Intertainment and released in 1995 for DOS. Set in the world of Tempest, the game tasks a player-chosen champion with venturing through a vast landscape filled with underground dungeons in order to confront an encroaching evil threatening humanity. Combat operates on a hybrid real-time and turn-based system, meaning tactical decisions carry direct consequences for how each encounter unfolds. Players have access to more than 25 spells and powered items, all tied to elemental forces including earth, wind, fire, and lightning, allowing for a range of offensive and defensive approaches. The game accommodates both aggressive, weapon-focused playstyles and more measured, magic-oriented strategies. Exploration, resource management, and careful decision-making are central to progression as the player pushes deeper into Tempest's increasingly dangerous environments.
