A Fun if Shallow ARPG
A very fun ARPG with about a 90-10 Action to RPG ratio. Gameplay is simple, but enjoyable, focusing on hack n' Slash Action gameplay with plenty of exploration and gear to sort through. It is Linear however, so don't expect something open like Elder Scrolls or Divine Divinity. Chapter based Linear adventure with some side-quests along the way. Little in terms of character cutomization, you choose skin and hair color, name, facial hair, and the color of his starting clothes (which are immediately changed for something better). Background is pre-defined too, as you are a normal guy from Earth teleported to Nox by the villainess's magic spell, so don't expect to make you own character. You get to choose between three classes, each with their own playstyles and abilities, as well as unique story plots. Graphics are quite good for the times, and were never boring for me to look at, and are clearly definable, so you're unlikely to get lost or miss things. Sound and music is the generic fantasy affair, nothing special, but it adds to the slightly satirical high-fantasy themes and atmosphere. Story, well, it's there, not really a main focus for most of the gameplay, and mostly just serves as a source of purpose for your actions. Now here's the thing, while the core gameplay is quite good, and could be great with some refinements and additions, and playing it made me realize I would enjoyed older titles like Elder Scrolls 1&2, and the original Fallouts if they played like this. But, I got this game on deep sale, at only about 90 cents, so despite my four stars, I would actually recommend this game at a cheaper price that it's full 6$. Maybe 2-3$. Also, I hear EA realeased the game for free on Origin, so if you're willing to use that service, you can get it there. Also, to note, and this is important, I neede a patch to run this game properly called Noxsolutions. It couldn't work otherwise, and I found many people had a similar problem, so if you can't get your copy to work, download that.
