Clunky, with a Horrible UI and Awful Sound and Music Options
I have a Let's Play here; It will NOT be on-going: https://youtu.be/oLDr3f-1w2Q Clunky is the name of the game here. Text is displayed in a little, slowing scrolling boxes, like on the bottom of cable new stations :(. Everything is a process, to going to one place to make your character, and another for forming the party (why?) rerolling stats for over 10mins to get a viable party (why not point buy?). In town, to even INSPECT your character, you have to go to the tavern; why?! So many stupid, pointless clinks to get anything done. The UI in the game is unforgivably stupid, and that alone is worth a 1 star review. But there is more! Everything in this game is just clunky and old, all for the point of being clunky and old! I don't care if wizardry did it this way a few times, doesn't mean you have to! Innovate you lazy developer! Then there is the combat, it is clunky, VERY basic, and just bad. I made a group of lvl 1 characters, when into the intro dungeon, and half of my character's couldn't attack! Maybe because they were in the back row? I guess they can't just step forward and attack? Not even presenting it as an option? Maybe an old Wizardry game did it this way, so Elminage Gothic will too! :( The icing on the cake is the music and sounds options; they are WAY TOO LOUD! For settings, you have 1; which is off for some reason, and 2 which is crazy loud, and it just gets worse from there. I do not recommend this game; I do not recommend it at all. I was hoping for something good like Wizardry 8, and I got this. Shame, I did want to like this one :(.
Is this helpful to you?
