Seems pretty good so far

This game reminds me of a current day Icewind Dale, which is a good thing! While I'm still early in the game, I really like what I've seen so far. The characters are all diverse and interesting, there are lots of different strategies when fighting enemies. I like being able to see what spell the enemy is casting and how long it'll take before it's cast. One character can refocus the mage's spell on herself. So this protects weaker characters by having the damage inflicted on the stronger one. It's also possible to get out of the way of a spell like a fireball. So there's lots of strategy and different things going on. Graphics are really nice too! If you like games like Icewind Dale, I think you'll like this one.

A MOBA trying to be a CRPG

This feels like it could have been much more in depth, but ended up making it simple like any standard MOBA type game. You start with 4 characters on your team (standard tank, healer, caster, and melee dps), and while there are ways to upgrade them, it is very simplistic. You have a few accessories to swap around and each character is has 4 total spells/actions. Each spell can be upgraded and eventually will split into 2 different variations to choose from. However, it is not as interesting as it seems, because the variation ends up changing the spell to a channeled vs cooldown spell, or one option does more damage, but the other has some sort of minor crowd control. The difference is usually so negligible that it does not matter which you choose. There are no NPC interactions, so no deep kind of gear buying or upgrading, and no deep story other than a little prescripted dialogue based on whatever enemy shows on screen. The combat was very difficult, but not impossible. You have to utilize the pause button quite often to make sure each of your 4 characters is using the proper skill on the proper bad guy/team member. The game does not autosave regularly so you will quickly learn you will have to do that yourself often. The game looks and sounds good, but without more character items, spells, and NPC interaction, you will find it gets repetitive fairly quick. You will moving from area to area battling a random group of 2 to 6 enemies at a time, so even if the enemies look different, your battles will all feel similar. I liked the fighting style but got bored sooner than I hoped. This was not a bad game, just not really my style.

Vom Schuldeneintreiber zum Gejagten

Hier geht’s zu meinem Waetsch's Play: https://youtu.be/B5p6oVPWSYQ In diesem Action-RPG steuern wir eine Truppe von vier Helden, die ziemlich ungewöhnlich daherkommen, eine Zauberin, ein Gnom, eine Hyänenhybridin und eine Kämpferin mit so was wie Insektenbeinen (?). Auch unsere Einstiegsmission ist kein Fantasy-Klischee, wir sollen nämlich Schulden eintreiben. Natürlich läuft das nicht ganz glatt und wir erfahren vom Schuldner, dass unsere Legitimation zum Schuldeneintreiben entzogen wurde und wir müssen uns unseren Weg freikämpfen. Das alles machen wir in einer sehr schön gezeichneten Grafik aus der Iso-Perspektive. Die Sprecher machen einen guten Job (in Englisch), die Texte sind sauber übersetzt. Die Kämpfe laufen in Echtzeit, können aber jederzeit per Leertaste pausiert werden. So können wir unseren Charakteren gezielt Befehle erteilen, die auch in Kette geschaltet werden können. Leider hat das alles bei mir nicht ganz verfangen. Das ungewöhnliche Setting und die schöne Grafik sind ein großer Pluspunkt; dagegen steht das recht unbefriedigende Kampfsystem, das überschaubare Inventar und die rudimentäre Charakterentwicklung. Das Kampfsystem kam mir oft hektisch (trotz Pause) und sehr unübersichtlich vor. Im Inventar können wir unsere Charaktere mit einem Amulett, Ohrring, Ring und einem Amulett ausstatten. Es gibt hier keine Rüstungen oder unterschiedliche Waffen. Die Charakterentwicklung besteht aus der Verbesserung von vier Fähigkeiten, in der Form, dass man z. B. mehr Schaden verursacht. Das alles ist sauber umgesetzt und man kann seinen Spaß haben, die große Begeisterung blieb beim mir aber aus.

Worth a play, hard to sing high praise

I finished Aarklash and my opinion of it fits somewhere bizarre, I do not want to simply pass over this game without giving it credit. The ending suggests the game was meant to have a sequel that did not happen :( The game's plot is hardly present throughout the game. Cutscenes come every so often, amidst some awkward dialogue, but to say there is no plot is fairly disingenuous. Each character is a Wheel Sword for the Goldmongers Guild. All of the characters backstories are available through the inventory. After a job goes south the party find out the whole of Aarklash has turned their backs on them. The plot leading on from that is interesting, but the ending is a cliffhanger (sequel when?). To say there is no plot is a downright lie in my eyes. I might even use it as inspiration for D&D! The mechanics look, and are, incredibly simple. Each character has four abilities of differing effect. There are the standard MMO roles. You can swap out several different characters. With four abilities one might wonder how you could stand the repetition. However, the skill tree allows you to effectively choose two paths for each spell. Your stomp can deal more damage or knock down this in a radius. Your taunt can be a rooted AoE, or just a single target. You are free (outside of combat) to change your entire skill tree for free to fit each encounter. The combat, from my exp of hardmode, has been a frustrating yet rewarding experience. Encounters feature enemies that each have their own part to play, with abilities that heal, blind etc. You need to figure out who to target, when, with who. The abilities enemies have can sometimes be overwhelming but figuring them out is always a blast. Basically: Game is very barebones, it's purely combat; it's casual, yet difficult. I wouldn't write it off. There is a lot of fun to be had, but it sits in such an awkward spot. It did a lot of things right, but missed a lot out. Ultimately, I am glad I played it for the 12h or so.

Does not Run on Win 10 in 2025

I wanted to try the game but can't start it. Running the game always end up with an exception regarding missing assemblies (*.dll files). "d3dx9_43.dll" and "X3DAudio1_7.dll". Tried several things on the internet but none worked. So I guess you should stay away. I also do not like that gog somehow throws in games sometimes which just do not work nowadays. I had similar issue with "Dark Reign"(?) or was it Earth 2140? But if anybody finds a way to run it, tell me please.
