Dark Sun: Shattered Lands is a computer role-playing game which was developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) in 1993.
The game’s setting, the harsh desert world of Athas, features a post-apocalyptic world with a unique mix of magic and psionics, where metal is scarce and water is a precious commodity.
Players navigate through a narrative that involves escaping from a gladiatorial pen, gathering a group of companions, and ultimately engaging in a rebellion against the sorcerer-king who rules the city-state of Draj.
The game’s success led to a sequel, Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager, which was not as well-received.
