It looks nice, but...

Visual aesthetics are good, that Victorian style looks pretty amazing, but all other parts of this game not even close to being good. The best thing I can tell about it, it's mediocre. The developer still has a problem with storytelling, every quest dragged so long that I felt physical exhaustion from finishing two side quest. And let's not forget about a 2-hour prologue/tutorial that works as a prologue, but barely does its work as the tutorial. I was really pumped up when they showed a big monster at the end of a prologue, but and it's 5 hours later and not even one big monster were shown since then. Maybe it's because I spent too much time on the side quests and exploration, but if quest weren't so tiresome I'd at least tried to force myself to see those big monsters. Fighting is not the strongest mechanic of this game. I didn't feel punishment for bad parry (and I can't parry in Dark Souls even if my life depends on it), being dropped on the ground at least 5 times a fight by the enemy that blindfolded you doesn't seem fun and when your attacks either blocked by your companion that just stopped in front of you mostly frustrating. Personally I feel like this game is overrated, maybe it's because I never played Mars or Thecnomancer and I can't appreciate the developer's growth, but it seems to me that the developer didn't grow that much. Presentation is great, all other stuff mediocre at best.

Good piece of its kind

I have no idea, what expectations would have people rating the game 1/2, If you love mass effect / dragon age (2/3) this is definitely for you, plus it has some unique flavour to it. If you dont or even more - if D.A. 3 is a heresy for you, game is not your type. Still far in the game after 15 hours, still love it

Showed promise, but fell apart

The premise of the game looked very promising at first glance, but the overall game itself was a let down. Things started out a bit slow, but slowly picked up and showed promise. However, once you learned how combat functioned, it becomes more of a boring and tiresome feature that you just trudge through. The story was also slow to build and doesn't start to become more interesting until about 1/3 of the way into the main story. After you hit about half way through the main story you should be able to see it's a general cliche story and how it will play out. Graphics were decent and pleasing to the eyes. Music was okay, but nothing special. Combat showed promise until you learn there are about 3 things to do in order to win and combat scenario. 1) If you haven't already learned it, you should. Use the Stasis spell. You'll lock/freeze any bad guy or creature for a good duration. 2) Basic or strong attack 3) Use your built up energy for a powerful attack/spell cast You say you've come across 5 creatures charging at you! Oh noes! Them 1 by 1 and use Stasis to freeze them all, except for 1 of them. Any creature not under Stasis your companions will automatically attack. You basically just gang up on one creature at a time using this method and the game is stupid easy. Oh noes! A boss creature! RUN......right? Nope, use Stasis. It only last a couple of seconds on a boss creature, but all you need to do is use a Strong attack or power attack. Then use Stasis and repeat the whole process. In the end, I'm not even sure what the last 1/3 of the story was about. I just clicked through everything because I became so bored with the game. I think the worst part was constantly running from point A to B to C and back to A to complete a mission. It felt like too much running, like a bad MMORPG and fetch quests. The game is mostly a let down.

A buggy, incomplete mess.

Even at $13 I feel ripped off. Crashes, getting stuck in/behind objects, graphics are laughable, saves will not load; I could go on but you get my point. What a mess. I got to Lvl 10 and then gave up - it's not worth the crashes/aggravation. But Hey, it's your money.
