Soulbringer

I had never heard of this game untill I saw it here on Gog and it seemed promising so I decided to shell out the six-or-so bucks it cost. Well, I dare say that they were well spent because I truly enjoyed playing it! It's certainly one of the better action-rpg's I,ve played, much thanks to the fluent animations and various combat-moves you can perform. (I'd gladly take Soulbringer's combats any day over the click-fests in Diablo!) It also has a quite unique and appealing artistic style and an above-average story with some memorable events. It's certainly not perfect and has many flaws too, as the other reviews have pointed out but overall it's a very nice and entertaing game which will take quite a while to finish too. Thumbs up!

Occasionally I stalk GoG for some releases I don't know about, never really write reviews because I don't seem to have the knack for such, that and sometimes I might accidentally spoil something. However, having found this game by luck on GoG, a lot of nostalgia hit me. It wasn't Baldurs Gate that was an influencing RPG in my past, nor was it Ultima or the like, but rather, it was this RPG right here that set my standards for the future. Unique characters, unique areas, an interesting story and lore to discover, a bit of a difficulty jump at the beginning as it's quite difficult to start, but you'd just be amazed at how everything just gets so much BETTER after the rough beginnings. You truly turn in to the hero you are supposed to be. Graphics wise, game's doing pretty well, especially in the gore department. Gameplay mechanics are acceptable, except for a sometimes fussy movement AI and picking up items (I always did have fun messing with the funky AI). On sound, I have to say that voice acting, ambience, and music does very well. What really won this game over for me was the different take on magic. The idea of hex stones, the fact that magic is actually MAGIC and not some toy Magic Missile cop-out. Magical lore and even just the magic itself was a strong basis for Soulbringer, in my opinion, and I loved it. Thanks for getting this gem on here, GoG. :)

I bought the game on release. The combat is very tactical and challenging, the story good. What annoyed me was the short view distance and the allaround blackness on the horizon plus compared to Baldur's Gate very little optical variation is shown at your chars clothes. Unfortunately I could never finish it because I lost the CD. All in all a very solid and unique rpg I can recommend and I will give it another go with gog.

This is a very long campaign with side quest that will tame tons of time to complete. There are also puzzles and choices sprinkled throughout.

The game loaded properly and is working fine for me on Windows 10. Seems like an interesting game so far.
