Ossian Studios has revealed the first screenshots from its upcoming RPG The Shadow Sun, and mighty nice they are too.

Having worked on Dungeons & Dragons and The Witcher, Ossian has decided to go it alone and create an RPG from the ground up.

Combining classic D&D elements with the real-time combat of Zelda and liberal splashings of H.P. Lovecraft's otherworldly horror, The Shadow Sun is an attempt to bring the iPhone its first immersive, full scale western RPG.

The game is set in the city of Shar, a decadent oasis in an endless desert of mutated creatures, wrought with political instability after a great cataclysm.

Expect to be exploring, battling, making friends and foes, and uncovering shocking twists in classic RPG fashion.

The Shadow Sun is set for release before the end of the year.
