Enclave

No controller support so that it can be played on all of those handheld PC like Ally etc? It is odd because this was an Xbox game, why did they go through the trouble of actually taking out controller support? Makes no sense. If you are a KB/M purist you will be ok.

This is a simple action game. There are no adventure elements, despite the fact that adventure is listed under this game’s genres. Also, despite the fact that the write-up makes this game sound like it has a strong compelling story, it does not. The characters you play as aren’t even real characters, their names are their class (warrior, huntress) they do not speak and are just generic vehicles for you to control. This is a generic simple action game.

This freaking game is AWESOME, I've been waiting on Enclave 2, forever I doubt it will come however. The graphics in Enclave are as good as many newer games. Just loved ENCLAVE!! An Excellent Single player experience!! Buy it!! : )

This game is abso;utely beautiful, however has several problems. First off, its really, really hard. First game I ever used a cheat on. I can't beleive anyone could finish without a cheat. Second it seems to have memory issues. I can only play one level at a time, it gradually gets more & more choppy. Takes a reboot to correct the problem, can't just close the program. And finally, really has problems with 64 bit windows 7. I dual boot now with XP for games like this. I really can't recommend Enclave to anyone due to its issues.

For its time, maybe Enclave was a masterpiece. It looked great for a 2003 game, and has some timeless good music. The story was interesting, and the way its told rather engaged me. Now, though, its flaws really show. The game is more or less entirely about combat, and the combat is extremely frustrating and tedious. You have one attack button and no control over which way you swing your weapon, and melee combat mostly revolves around backpedaling and diving in like you would in Doom or The Elder Scrolls, only worse. Ranged combat is not much better, as your projectiles are extremely tiny, and a little deviation from the centre of your target and it will miss altogether. There are no real RPG elements in this game aside from allocating your gold to better gear before a mission. There is no real difference in function between weapons of the same class, and while that sounds okay in a game like Diablo, it doesn't translate well into a third person hack and slash game. Aside from a different skin and attack power, all weapons do pretty much the same thing. tl;dr If you're looking for a combat ARPG, in this day and age, stuff like the Souls series are far better.
