Rose Tinted Glasses Shattered.
I played this game on the Amiga 500 many many years ago. What I remember was a joy filled romp through a world that wanted you dead. My visit back here taught me that rpg's have seriously come a long ways in the last few decades. The game itself is fine. You create your party, and the various classes all serve their purpose. Where the issue lies is simply poor implementation. First big issue: Awful pathfinding. Lets say you are walking through a room full of chairs and tables. Obviously you personally will attempt to move around them, and thus will make it from one side to the other. In this game however thats just not the case. You tell your character to just walk through a room and they tend to just wander to their own location. Or just don't, and get stuck on a single pixel. Spell Casting: Now in combat you can tell your characters to use magic and they will kind of attempt to use magic rather willy nilly. But if you say want to cast heal on one of your characters you will have some rather unpleasant experiences wasting mana trying to land a heal. Aim for the targets feet and make sure nothing is in the way, as spells can easily miss/get trapped by almost anything. Combat in general: Combat is more or less automated. Characters will just crab walk their way at one another and swing, and it follows standard rpg style. There is little user imput and much of the time you feel powerless in changing the outcome. Experience Gain: Only killing blows appear to give exp. This makes leveling up less melee oriented classes (priest comes to mind) a bit of a pain. Difficulty Curve: A game like this is expected to be difficult. What really made me rage quit was the utter insanity of all the previous issues mixed with random encounters that can only be described as utterly insane. In the second dungeon you will find that the 'boss' will just randomly teleport and one shot you. Cause he can. Mix that with the previous issues, and you have this game. It's just not fun now
Hilft dir das weiter?
