Driftmoon Enchanted Edition

A charming, whimsical and thoroughly enjoyable RPG adventure. Lots of engaging characters, gently humorous dialogue and enjoyable quests, with just the right amount of combat to provide some excitement without getting annoyingly in the way of the fine little story it tells during its 10-12 hours of gameplay. It's a joy to play, as it has very simple and straightforward gameplay and controls - the entire game can easily and comfortaly be played with just a mouse, and the inventory, quests and skills are easy to manage. Possibly one of the best introductions to the mechanics of RPGs for the unitiated. As a bonus, it also has a fantastic mod creation tool and map editor that I am considering using for a game project of my own! The only thing that irked me was the overtly Christian themes, which almost wandered into rhetoric and sermonising. Still, the game put a smile on my face and I otherwise enjoyed every minute playing it.

I've been waiting for this game to come out for ages and have been playing it already for a while, I did prepurchase it after all. I have to say, It's not the best game in the world but it has that charm of an old shareware game. It adds a lot of homages to different games and the attention to detail is there. Is it a big AAA game? No. Will it be a huge hit? Probably not. Is it worth the price? Hells yeah, it's good and solid fun for anyone dabbling in the RPG genre.

During the 18 hours it took me to finish the game I felt like being ten years old, playing Monkey Island: lost in an enchanting world inhabited by astonishing characters, totally into a strange but coherent tale. I don't care about the faulty combat: who estabilished that rpg and adventure is about fighting and grinding? It was such a long time since I enjoyed dialogs so much, that matter! Really a little gem.

while much smaller and simpler, there is no doubt this game was made by fans of ultima vii. a hoe of doom? a character named wislem? multiplying green slime monster? it is kind of quick and dirty (you can beat it in about 6 hours), but really cute. it's got references to other fantasy pantheons as well (like lord of the rings). gameplay is elegant and easily controlled with just the mouse. the characters are hokey and silly (a pirate crab, really?), and there is a ton of dialogue that i opted to skip through, but it's forgivable. it basically just made me want someone to pick up where the ultima series left off. this game shows it's possible and could still be really compelling and fun to play. open world would have been nice but can't have everything, right? definitely a worthwhile little adventure RPG.

A pleasant little game with a charming atmosphere and fun--if a bit simple--gameplay.
