Plot

Development

The original idea behind Dark Salvation was created by Thearrel McKinney in 1999, with the goal of creating a mod that added an extra tier to Quake III Arena. The mod morphed into a stand-alone single player game.[3] Work began on the final game in 2003 with the goal of "taking you back to the days of old school FPS shooters with its single player fast action game play."[4] The games soundtrack was developed by thirteen different bands, with their work showcased on a separate disk included with the Limited, Unrated, Dual-Disc Edition. Talia was voiced by Jessica Eastwood, who died shortly before the game's release;[5] Tayana was voiced by Lindsey Brannock. Additional work on the game was done by Andrew Darovich.[6] A major update for the game was released after eight years, upgrading it to v1.0.7 and re-releasing the game on itch.io on May 21, 2017.[7] A successor to the game, entitled Metal Savior, was launched on Kickstarter in 2012 but fell well short of its funding goal.[8]
