What Enclave is

Enclave is a hack and slash/beat 'em up game developed by Starbreeze Studios and released in 2002. It was published by Atari Europe. It is available on Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Starbreeze Engine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

During a great war, the land of Celenheim was separated into two sides; the light side and the dark side. On the side of the Light, the Enclave was protected from all sides by a wide rift, a bottomless abyss. On the Dark side, twisted forms struggled for survival, while slowly growing more powerful, preparing to invade the Light side once again.
