GA-RPG Review: Demise: Rise of the Ku'Tan (7:43 am)
Demise - Rise of the Ku'Tan was initially slated as the sequel to David Allen's Mordor, a dungeon crawling game released in 1994. After the development had begun on Mordor II, the J.R.R Tolkien estate informed Allen that the name would have to be changed because Mordor is an area of land in the mythical world of J.R.R Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. Interplay then stepped in and offered to publish the title under the name of Infinite Worlds, but never really seemed behind the game. Interplay then dropped the title, and the name was changed to Demise - Rise of the Ku'Tan.

With the loss of a publisher and the inability to find a new one, David continued on with the project, and the outcome is definitely surprising. Check out our review of Artifact Entertainment's Demise: Rise of the Ku'Tan here. Enjoy! - Gaming News
