The game kinda has a Lord of the Rings flavor, recruiting armies and lords to fight the Evil Bad guy. The game for it's time featured a groundbreaking technique called landscaping to depict the lands of Midnight from a first-person perspective. Landscaping had a 3D effect with pre-scaled images of mountains, forests, buildings, etc. To create the impression of a perspective-correct landscape scene, available from a viewpoint of 8 points of the compass hence Landscaping.
