Description

War has been waged across the kingdom of Myrtana. Orcish hordes invaded human territory and the king of the land needed a lot of ore to forge enough weapons, should his army stand against this threat. Whoever breaks the law in these darkest of times is sentenced to serve in the giant penal colony of Khorinis, mining the so much needed ore. 

The whole area, dubbed "the Colony", is surrounded by a magical barrier, a sphere two kilometers diameter, sealing off the penal colony from the outside world. The barrier can be passed from the outside in – but once inside, nobody can escape. The barrier was a double-edged sword - soon the prisoners took the opportunity and started a revolt. The Colony became divided into three rivaling factions and the king was forced to negotiate for his ore, not just demand it. 

You are thrown through the barrier into this prison. With your back against the wall, you have to survive and form volatile alliances until you can finally escape.

Features include:

  • One of the biggest RPGs with over 50 hours of gameplay
  • A large variety of weapons and spells for your character
  • A living world where people go to work, sleep, eat and fight to survive

Unplayable on my Windows 10

I wanted to like it but the game just crashes at launch for me (Windows 10 Pro 64, 2080ti, i9). Sadly, these days I do not have much time to waste so will have to give up.

Unique world design but not fun?

I had heard about the impressive world design and realistic elements. It's all true and very impressive for the time. My only problem with it is that those elements don't necessarily make the game fun or interesting to explore. I found the game world repetitive and shallow, the lore and story although unique, wasn't particularly interesting.

No Mouse Support

How can a game released in 2001 have no mouse support? For me this makes navigation too cumbersome to even play the game. Refunded.

If I could only run it...

It's a fine game, if you are able to start it. Default settings: crash on start enable windowed mode: crash on start try different resolutions: crash on start So... not so good. At least not on my Windows 10 20H1.
