Most Under-rated RPG Ever

I've never had so much fun with a game, from start to finish Arx Fatalis had me hooked. Maybe it was the innovative casting system, or the variety of weapons and spells, or maybe it was the real-time flow of the world, or...maybe it was the fact that the game is hardly breakable. Its not as long as Morrowind, but I intend to play Arx again and again....and again. Amazing game, I would highly recommend to fans of the FPRPG genre!

Nice one man dungeon crawler

One word of advice - get Arx Libertatis to make game more playable on modern hardware. Before Arkane started making more dynamic titles with great melee combat they made game inspired by Ultima Underworld. Claustrophobic (under)world of Arx in old mine have some charm. About gameplay - magic is not only fun but also mandatory. Halfway through the game there is something that make magicless players cry, beware. Few races from fantasy world, some intrigue, and a lot of mysteries and secrets waiting for aware and curious folks.

A true immersive sim

I do not get what all the complains are about. Maybe gamers today are too spoiled as they seem to think Witcher is a true RPG when it is a story driven adventure game. This on the other hand is an amazing immersive sim with some of the best ambient audio I have heard. It doesn't hold your hand and like old Ultima games and Gothic things make sense and naturally fit into place. There are tons of secrets and multiple ways you can approach many of the tasks that are completely easy to miss. Same level of immersion is not there in their modern titles like Dishonoured.

I know many will think, what is he talking about. But I feel that this game was more enjoyable than Skyrim and it's ilk. Even with the dated graphics and smaller scale, the missions seem more personal, the characters more real. I had loved Ultima Underworld 1 + 2 so many years ago, but they are hard to play today with the clunky interface. Mind you, Arx Fatalis does not have a perfect interface, but it is usable. I found the magic system clever, but frustrating. I had to repeat may runes dozens of times each time I wanted to cast a spell. The rune recognition algorithm was a little to critical for my tastes. A note, and I do not believe this is a spoiler, when you have to use a shovel, use the 'f' key or it will not work!. This was a very frustrating design consideration. For all my complaints, I still loved this game, and I highly recommend it!

Decent but clumsy

Arx Fatalis offers a rich fantasy environment with a worthwhile and engaging story. while you spend an awful lot of time looking at dungeon walls, the game does a fairly good job of looking good while remaining the same. The sound is incredible, and in my opinion, more than makes up for any shortcomings in visual category. From the slapping of your feet on the stone floors and the gutteral conversations of goblins in the next room, to the dripping of water in underground pools and the ambient hum of tunnels, this game has audio that delivers more ambience than almost any game I've played. The characters are well drawn, heavily styilized, and ulltimately very good. I like a game with a strong overall artistic concept, and Arx Fatalis really puts you in the world the designers have created. I can't get behind the controls. I've tried and tried, but I just don't have the patience for them. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I think drinking healing potions or something during combat shouldn't involve fumbling around in you inventory while you're being beaten to death, unable to defend yourself. Obviously, plenty of people have managed just fine, so this is a personal hangup, but one I'm sure a few people probably share. If you're looking for the much more seamless interface of a contemporary like Morrowind, be prepared for disappointment. I personally come from the school of thought that says the game pauses when you open your inventory, but that's a matter of opinion. I find the magic system of actually using hand motions to be clever, but ultimately more gimmicky than fulfilling. I'm a firm believer that bad/difficult control shouldn't be a substitute for genuine overall challenge in a game - it's a copout here, and doesn't really do much to set Arx apart from the pack. If you can get beyond the frustrating controls, as lots of people have, this game is definately worth your time/money. If you're quickly frustrated by interface that is needlessly challenging, than you may (as another reviewer suggested) be better off with Morrowind.
