Enclave

Even in 2010 I still tell people this is one of my favorite games of all time... it just oozes with style and atmosphere. Gameplay may feel a bit basic now, but still its a great game to romp through and find all the pots of gold.

Hi, Enclave, is a impressive hack & slash title, at any time switch between (FPS)+(TPS) with a click of a key/button. Good options available, including (on/off) damage indication. Has configurable keys, like - movements, jump, crouch, potion, torch + more. High graphics available. Weapons like - swords, shields, crossbows, magical staffs, daggers, axes, bows, hammers, poison arrows + more. Collect gold pieces to choose high value weaponry to take with you on missions. Full 360 degrees horizontal rotations + full 180 degrees vertical rotations, making it excellent. New characters are awarded and and then you can choose a character to play a level. Enemies like - goblins, liches, sorceresses, assassins + more. Enter - dungeon castle like areas, temple, towns, lava wasteland, harbor + more. Has NPC's voice speeches, sound effects, eerie music. Overall a classic hack & slash gem, better than expected, however it may be wise to choose easy setting before starting. Excellent (TPS)(FPS). YxDDVxY

Although a GoG title, Enclave isn't so old, it comes from the XBox era with XBox graphics and the screenshots here at GoG don't do it justice - it looks much better when you have it actually running. If you're looking for another Two Worlds or Gothic, Enclave won't suffice. The game is broken into average levels and has more of a game play feel to it like an old ID software game. Even though I was initially looking for something more open-ended this game turned out to be a nice surprise and far better than I had expected after reading old reviews. Simply put the game boasts awesome level designs and the artificial intelligence of the enemy is smart enough to lure them into stupid things like separating themselves from a pack so you can get them alone. As any good game, Enclave boasts and old school challenge where in you'll probably find yourself having to attempt a level several times through trial and error pattern learning. Don't get me wrong, the challenge is what makes this game fun and it isn't too hardcore as a resurrection point can be found half way through every level. There is a reasonable sized selection of characters to unlock and take through every level but you will find the Knight to be the most practical throughout the entire game as he storms through everything like a juggernaut tank. The other characters are fun to play as well but bring about more of a survival challenge as they are more frail and you have to approach each level from a sneak-around and attack from a distance stance. Leveling up is simply done through acquired gold. Gold is never spent permanently but the amount that you have defines what type of equipment you can start each level with so say that, so far, I've found 1000 gold - at the start of each level I will be able to purchase a 1000 worth of equipment. This encourages the player to replay completed levels in hunt for secret gold stashes. Gold is also awarded from bonus mini-game area challenges and level completion rewards. It may not be the next Gothic but by it's own merits it's and extremely fun, challenging and good-looking game.

It's a solid and enjoyable game. The fighting mechanics in place are a bit stiff and undynamic, but are pretty functional and reward a composed, patient approach. There's a large variety of different styles of fighting. What you'd normally consider your 'character class' occurs in this through the equipment you choose, and so you may need to play a few levels to unlock your choice of melee, ranged or magic. It doesn't take long and you'll find something you like. But never underestimate the importance of some versatility! You have to be prepared to deal with any kind of enemy somehow. Character strengths improve as you go by unlocking new equipment. However before you can use it, you must have enough money to equip it. Your budget for each level's equipment comes from gold you collected in all prior levels. So you can give yourself a boost by searching earlier levels more thoroughly, and coming back later better equipped. Affording good equipment will prove essential later in this game, as it's very tough. Many levels can be like endurance tests. If you enjoy a challenge, you'll find one in Enclave. Though I should warn you, there's also a few deathtraps which you couldn't possibly guess. They're not very common, but there's a few of them. There's no shortage of variety in the game. Levels occur in very different environments, taking you to some spectacular landscapes and structures. And if that's not enough variety for you, there's a second campaign where you play on the evil side, giving you a second perspective on the conflict. Definitely an enjoyable game for me, and an easy recommendation at the humble price GoG asks.

A fun game where you have 2 campaigns, one for the good guys and one for the bad guys already an interesting concept. The game has a great art direction i made a lot scenic screen shots. Also great variety weapons and characters like humans, elves, trolls and busty sorceresses First the combat is bit clunky but i great once you figure it out also this is one of those games where you meant to replay levels or change characters once you notice you messed up for example you'll get to level with fire gnomes they deal fire damage even after the attack, here you just to pick the elven cheater because it has an ice shield. That said some characters are more useful than others for light path you will stick to the engineer once unlocked and for dark path one of the two sorceresses. But don't worry about loosing progress or replaying long levels over and over again or complicated rpg mechanics the levels are ferly short and and the somewhat longer ones have checkpoints in-between. Before I started this game i finished The Witcher 3 with 100 hours in and I have to say shorter games have their merit. The only thing i wish this game had was that future from RTCW where you are close to the exit of the level you'll gat a heads up this game needed it. You should play it definitely its a hidden game that rough around the edges.
