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

Great game!

The game itself is great. That's why I got it on GOG as well. Doesn't run on my Win 10 box, tho.

Vastly overrated

Even with mods and patches this game is an absolute buggy mess. I tried to power through it though, but by the end of the game I didn't really feel like it was worth working through the clunky, unsatisfying combat mechanics and unengaging story. Maybe if I had played this game around the time it had come out I would have the same kind of rose colored glasses a lot of people seem to have for this game; I firmly believe that this game has not stood the test of time and there are far better choices from this era of CRPG's. The game feels totally unfinished and so many things about the game hardly makes any sense I won't bother to go through them exhaustively. I will say, though, that it does 1 thing right and I wish most other RPG's did these days, in that similar to some of my other favorite classic RPG's they do not make you feel like the "chosen one" or a hero right off the bat, and you have to slowly struggle your way upward. That sort of progression I find to be really satisfying and is probably why I stuck to it even though I found the rest of the game to be pretty irritating.

controls

nice graphics for the time (of 2001 standards) but..... to pick things up with ctrl + up is more complicated than it needs to be... there were many other games were picking anything up was a one button thing but this.... and changing the controls is like a headache all on its on...
