Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I don't know if that's just on my Ubuntu, but the game refuses to run decently on Linux. Native runs semi-decent, but Viking Conquest or Blood Eagle mod result in frequent crashes after 2-5 minutes of a gameplay. Running the game on Wine is waay much better in terms of stability than running it on Linux.
The game in itself is superb. Nothing new to add.
The graphic is super awful, the ui design, the pics, the low resolution bitmap words.
the models are transparently, and you can see through all elements makes game not playable.
Not that fun as the video or screenshot.
I really wanted to like this game, the theme is amazing the graphics are great. Despite requiring a GeForce-card the game ran very smoothly with the integrated graphics cirquit on my Macbook Pro. I had expected some problems but experienced none whatsoever. The cities look pretty realistic and the dialogue is interesting.
Here are my main two problems:
- Combat is super messy. The ranged combat is fun and I wish there was more of it, but when I played I was stuck with a crossbow (which has a really long reload time and being attacked cancels the reload) and a sword. The sword fighting system is pretty sophisticated, similar to the new game For Honor where you have to attack and parry from different sides depending on where the attacker is coming from (parry is automatic by default though, thank god). The way you direct your attack is to pull the mouse up/down/left/right when attacking - but apart from attacking it also moves your screen and this is what makes it messy. Basically to fight well you need to constantly be moving your view around which also makes it much harder to follow your opponent and know where to attack. It's also pretty difficult to actually pull off in practice. For this reason I really wish the view would stay still while you were attacking.
- No scaling of difficulty. My first mission in the game was to hunt down a number of bandits, I was given 100 monetary units (dinars I think?) to hire five men. Apart from that I had like 200 in starting cash. To hire ONE man cost 200, another one 100, another two 1000+. Where on earth do I find these stacks of cash? OK, so I failed that mission but still had a party. We engaged a small group of bandits and lost. From what I can tell there's no difference between early game and late game combat, in either case you'll be mercilessly thrown into battle on horse back trying to do the weird combat maneuvers at lighting speed.
