It has its moments, but never more!
Where to begin when everything has already been said? Yes, the first third of the game is quite good. You have a city to explore, NPC to talk to, sidequests to do and its quite good. Not on the Fallout 2 or Baldur's Gate 2 level but still quite enjoyable. However after you leave Barcelona for Montserrat, the game stars to change. After that section the game becomes much more linear lacking of everything what made the Barcelona section good. No interesting sidequests, no interesting characters, just a series of brutally long dungeons with tons of enemies and no way to rest to heal. You cannot rest in a tent, you cannot even rest in inns, you just have to wait. While HP comes up fairly quickly, Mana is a completely different story. 1 single point of Mana takes 4 seconds to appear, which means, when you want to fill your Mana to the top and you have no blue element around you, you just have to wait several tens minuts! I am not kidding. Good luck when you are going for a full mage build. While the game uses the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. RPG system known from the Fallout series, it just does not feel right in this game. Something's wrong in Lionhear, but as if you had much more control over you progress when developing your character in Fallout. Maybe it's that the game punishes you for increasing the power just in one or two categories. At the end of the game I had to use 3 points just to increase my electric magic by 1 point. I used all 21 points I got after leveling on the electric magic and it did not matter at all. The power of the magic barely increased. I have my suspicion that just some builds works here, otherwise you are doomed. The story and the world-building were good but not even close to the perfection of Arcanum. This game has a potential but it's broken, badly designed, very rushed in the second half and dont get me started on how awfully bad your companions can be/are. The battle system is just button mashing. Nah, one of the worst RPGs ever.
