Firstly, I have to tell you that you won't probably play, this game.
1. its in Czech language, its slavonic so only czechs, slovaks and poles can understand the texts.
2. you need very strong computer to run the game properly, or if you have common comp, then you need just a bit of luck.
3. Its 11 MB big and placed on untrustworthy servers in central Europe
OK, but anyway its great game.
[ftp]www.kaletoviny.wz.cz/download/big_screenshot_pack.zip[/ftp] here you can see several screenshots. Blend and alpha effects, various dynamic shadows, enemies, magics, flames...
Yes, the name is parody on "Diablo". The game is not really taken seriously, definitely the first half not, its very adolescent humour. But even in outro, there are some tracks of humour, although main hero will almost die.
Pencil-drawn illustrations used in menu and outro are made by Eldon, my friend. He now draws even much better.
And here are the game download links:

If you aren't a guy from post-communistic central europe, then maybe you'd like to know the story.
A hero named Lengthdir Degtorad woke up on shore of some island, with a broken raft and memory loss. He remembers only his name and job - mage, ninja or a soldier - you may choose. He is taken by old man to local village, where people lives peacefully for about 15-20 years, after they defeated vile techno-necromancer king who occupied the island. The king had his tower and dungeons below the Hellon island, a small frozen place above the main one. With a volcano, of course.
The king has died, as said some man with burned face, who escaped his dungeons and died too, then. Shaman sealed the island magically and all villagers who stayed alive, went to local pub.
But now, animals in forest gets somehow angry, magically oriented people has strange feeling and so on. What is strange, a few days before Lengthdir crashed here in the storm an old sailor arrived too. The first people after many years, no wonder that things will get messed up.
So, you as main hero become an apprentice of local shaman in temple of Overmars the god. First missions are very boring, like bring him some magical plants from his secret garden on shore, or to set up some crates in local seller's storage. But then, you'll start fighting againist guild of necromancers, who appeared somehow on the island. Necromancers can stay hibernated for long time, but if they are not skilled enough they will accidentally transform into some undead monsters.
OK, when the necromancers will be defeated at the island (for each shaman's quest, like destroying a HQ dungeon of them you will get a level, so there is 10 levels) you will also have to gather 4 crystals, which has been used by shaman to make some magical barrier over Hellon. They are guarded well by undead demon, acid-spitting ant-like monster (Swamp Joe), big flying saucer with big shield and cadence and the last one has local granny locked in her cellar.
In the beginning the game is rather boring, till the quests gets better. You will discover and destroy some evil plans, blow up some caves of necromancers, get special powers, but the best thing is in story.
You'll discover who Lengthdir Degtorad really was, and who has the one who died with burnt face on Hellon island. Also you will find who is the evil king and what a big guy from Hellon cavern altered him to his... ehm... lets call it "fighting mutated mode".
Also you will meet his dark devoted servants, their deadly traps, logical problems or a lot of other stuff.
Or you will not, because its not in english. Yeah, I posted it here to show you, that I am not a newbie in game making, just language barrier is a problem. If here is someone who can understand the language, then I'll be glad if he'd play it to the end, with game progress the gameplay gets better to really high level.
