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
I would have to advise people to steer clear of this game. The combat is as bad as i have seen in any game ever. I have no basis for comparison as it is literally the worst rpg I have ever played in my life. I love the fact that its immersive and has a great story, is open world, actions have consequences. But the combat and clunky controls make this game unplayable for me.
I am a youtuber who likes recording Lets Plays. I was planning on doing a Lets play on Gothic since there wasn't many english lets play of it. I wondered why that was.
Then I Played It.
OH GOD.
The controls are a nightmare. When you go to options and look at the controls, it only tells you a quarter of them. The rest is unknown and up to the player to find out. So you keep slamming your head into the keyboard hoping that your character would pick up something or talk to someone. This is some of the most disasterous controls I have ever played in any game ever. I couldn't figure out anything. I had to go on the internet several times in order to find out what the controls actually were. It was such a terrible experience.
But...
I still want to give this series a chance. I will not be returning to play Gothic 1 anytime soon due to it's horrendous controls. If anyone can actually help me with the games controls please do. I am baffled of how people are able to play it. Hopefully, Gothic 2 3 and the Risen games by the same developer have a more accessible control scheme for players to ease into. The game has to be good and I believe the people who know what they are doing. I'm sure Gothic is a really enjoyable game once you get the controls down. But unfortunately, this gamer is skipping this to go to Gothic 2.
Just had to say this is garbage, dont waste 10 bucks on this. The dev team must have been on drugs the day they come up with the control system. Awfull just Awfull, may work better if you use a profiler of some sort and use and xbox or ps3 controller, im not paying for one to find out
I got all 3 on sale. All 3 are absolutely horrible, clunky, and extremely awkward control implimentation. Out of all the 25 games i bought, these 3 were the biggest waste of money.
