Maybe better than BS2?

This version works better than the one on steam. The game can look quite beautiful at times, though it's quite a bit uglier than BS3, despite having better character models. The animation, in particular, clearly suffered in this game, and you can literally see the budget running out as you go through the game. There's quite a bit of inconsistency in the puzzles: some objects can only be interacted with after you've done some other, often unrelated tasks. This means that you never know if an object is just scenary or if it's interactible. It's a particular bad variety of pixel hunting. The story is enjoyable, even if we've seen similar plot points before. It's certainly worse than 1 and 3 and 5, but maybe better than 2?

Really Good Game

Played this years ago, just started the series again after being remastered, really enjoying it, ideal if you don't like shoot em style games

Just not enough

Don't get me wrong, Angel of dead is a good game. As other said, it is a solid entry in the broken sword series. The puzzles are way better than they were in the third installment, as well as the controls (this game is PC only). However, this game reads CHEAP all over it. I'm sorry to say that, and I still like the game, but compared to the production values of earlier episodes, this is a huge step back. To be honest, it looks somewhat worse then Broken Sword 3. I would nit mind it from a smaller company, or from a series, which came right out of nowhere, but this is BROKEN SWORD! This should be epic, every possible way, but it isn't. There are less places to visit, a shorter gameplay, less characters to meet or see, and a very anticlimatic ending. The game has been written by the developers of the first two games, and in the end it hints, that it might be jut the first part of a series of adventures (a' la telltale games). But is isn't. It's just a "good" adventure, and a surprisingly "meh" end to the series.

Boring, frustrating and uninspired.

I recently played through all the Broken Sword games again, in order so I could prepare myself for the fifth installment of the series. In order to do this, I forced myself to finish this crap pile. In doing so, I wasted about 15 hours of my life. Bland, lifeless level design with too many browns, tans and blacks filling the color palette on most maps - gone are the vibrant colors and beautifully drawn landscapes from the earlier games (even Sleeping Dragon's design was pretty good). Voice acting that sounded like the actors were bored (except for Rolf Saxon's George Stobbart, of course). Not to mention Nico, a MAJOR character, was given a role that seemed mostly like a glorified cameo. I could go on, but GOG has a character limit. I'll just say that there is absolutely no reason to play this game before playing the Serpent's Curse and you should avoid at all costs.
