The world of Arx is wrought with turmoil, brought to the brink of destruction by a violent war.

Great Dungeon Crawler

I like the game nad although the graphics might be outdated, their are athmospheric like the whole game and the exploration feels very rewarding. Tipp: Load the Arx Libertatis for an improved experience and better graphics.

It's like another Ultima Underworld

Tutorial area was really frustrating, because the controlls are weird and dated, they feel broken when you don't know how to play. I rage quited the tutorial 4 times, but after escaping the prison, the game turned out to be incredible. Thank you Retro Nation for recomanding. This game is worth the initial suffering. After finishing Ultima Underworld, I wanted more, this is it!

Good old game

Haven't played it back in the days, but I enjoy it now. Only complaint- clunky magic system.

Naprosto úžasné RPG...

Tohle dílo je naprosto fenomenální. Do hry lze dát i češtinu a úpravy pro lepší kvalitu a rozlišení. V hře je i Drak. No prostě pohádka. Vynikající příběh a herní mechaniky. Doporučuji tohle skvěle dobrodružství.

Génial

J'ai acheté ce jeu car j'en ai eu de bons échos en lisant des critiques en ligne. Sincèrement je ne regrette pas cet achat. Le gameplay est original, on ne trouve pas souvent ce genre de jeu si je ne me trompe pas en disant ça. Son gameplay et univers me font vaguement penser au jeu Morrowind de Beteshda. Cependant Arx Fatalis offre un gameplay plus fluide. On peut prendre et déplacer des objets dans l'espace en 3D. Certains peuvent être placés dans son inventaire. On lance des sorts en dessinant à la souris le sort. Les combats sont plus fluides que dans Morrowind, Les combats sont plutôt comparables à ceux du jeu Oblivion. Le jeu est très immersif et paisible. Bien qu'il y aie des combats, on passe du temps à cueillir des plantes et récolter des objets. Certains objets interagissent l'un a l'autres pour réparer un mécanisme par exemple. J'ai fait le premier niveau hier après avoir acheté ce jeu et m'y suis bien plu au final, Je conseille ce jeu qui est une chouette expérience malgré les graphiques qui ont pris un coup de vieux. Pour les joueurs de Morrowind; Foncez sur ce jeu.
