Overview:

Thousands of years ago six demon kings, known as the Revenants, ruled the world with an iron fist and bloody swords. Donning the bodies of mortal vassals, they could live in the realms of man forever. The great hero and warlock Harbinger was the only one who could stand up to their power. One by one he hunted the Revenants, taking their spirits and casting them into the Well of Souls. Alas, the Revenants survived. As a young man you will travel to meet your uncle in the town of Madrigal. There, your destiny draws you into the path that Harbinger trod - to confront the Revenants and banish their souls back to the Well forever. Your travels will take you far from Madrigal, to the ruined kingdoms of Horath, the ancient empire of Thardolin, and through the lost city of Talendrah. You will brave searing deserts and icy plains. You will have to seek answers among the living and the dead.

Vastly underrated

Posted on 2012-02-16 07:34:24 by JonasKyratzes's avatar JonasKyratzes:

Soulbringer is one of the best cRPGs I've ever played. It's got an original setting, a really well-told story, great atmosphere, and a huge amount of stuff to do. I absolutely adore it.
However, unlike a lot of modern games, Soulbringer requires some dedication. It's not an easy game, and it dares to take its time with the plot - when I first played it years ago, I thought I'd read more reached the end when I realized the story was only just beginning.
A lot of games use the word "epic" in their advertising, but Soulbringer is one of the few games that is an actual epic, that gives you the feeling of having been part of a great mythic struggle. You'll almost certainly feel frustrated by it at some point, but if you don't give up on it, it will deliver a magnificent experience.

A true hidden gem

I first got this game as a gift for christmas. Since there were several other interesting games that came out at the same time this game was left unplayed for quite a while. When I finally got around to playing it, I was left extremely frustrated. A couple of weeks later I decided to give it another try, but first I would look through the manual properly. So let my say this first, read more this game does require some effort on your part. You should definitely look through the manual to get some information on game concepts. Finding an online faq could also be useful. If you stick with it as I did, I am confident that you will find that effort repaid more than you could imagine.
This game blew me away! I absolutely loved every second of this game. I found myself immersed in the story immediately. The atmosphere is wonderful and exploring the game world truly feels exciting and scary. I replayed this game more times than I can remember and I loved every single playthrough.
If you want to try an old crpg that will challenge you, then this is indeed a game to try. It is one of my fondest memories from that time and immediately bought this now when gog released it. This game is not perfect by any means, the interface in particular was something I needed time to get used to, but it makes up for that in just about all other aspects.

Overlooked but good

I bought the game on release. The combat is very tactical and challenging, the story good.
What annoyed me was the short view distance and the allaround blackness on the horizon plus compared to Baldur's Gate very little optical variation is shown at your chars clothes.
Unfortunately I could never finish it because I lost the CD. All in all a very solid and unique rpg I can recommend and I will give it another go with gog.
