WORLD

Venture to the Archolos, a huge island east to the Myrtana mainland and explore never seen before region filled with vineyards, farms and villages mentioned in the first Gothic game.

Visit the great city of Archolos and lost yourself in cobbled streets of the biggest city ever presented in the whole Gothic trilogy.



On the Archolos island you will have the opportunity to delve into the deepest of mines, visit the tranquil Monastery of Adanos, sip a beer while listening to gossip in one of the city taverns, and discover other interesting locations whose secrets will be revealed only to the boldest of adventurers…

STORY

Kingdom of Myrtana, a country whose foundations crumble under the winds of war and unrest raging throughout its lands. Experience the events that forged the original Gothic storyline and see with your own eyes how the creation of the Valley of Mines impacted people far away from the main continent.

Make your mark in a brutal world where your every decision has a clear impact on its environment and the lives of those you meet on your path.



Play as Marvin, a young man who was driven away from his home by the war looming over the horizon. The reality of the Archolos, a place he runs to, unfortunately proves to be far from his expectations. Rich merchants craving only for more gold, servants of the king Rhobar II who put into practice every new and more restrictive laws and waves of desperate refugees who just like the protagonist search for a decent life. Marvin will have to find a way to survive in this land of treachery, opportunism and opposing interests.



You are not the chosen hero, you are not a villain. You are a survivor.

Will you take everything you want by the force? Or will you try to help others in need?

In The Chronicles of Myrtana you decide your own fate.

Crashes every minute.

A big disappointment. I am unable to have any opinion about the story, graphics or audio. The game crashes every minute or more. Impossible to play.

ACCESS VIOLATION crash

I think I put this review in the Polish version with a title indicating dates. If so, that's a mistake so please remove it. Sorry. Here is a copy of the same review but with a more pertinent title: No response yet from the game developers on the forum for The Chronicles of Myrtana: I bought Gothic II from GOG to play The Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos. Gothic II is working fine, but here is what I get when I try to run The Chronicles of Myrtana (latest version is 1.1.3): Gothic II -- 2.6 (fix) has caused an access violation at address 003A1B68h by attempting to 'read' from address 00AB40D8h My system is: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor 3.60 GHz 16 GB ram Windows 10 Home Edition The last 2 big games I've purchased from GOG and played on this system are The Witcher III and X4 Foundations--never any crash due to access violation. So, I don't think it's my system causing the problem. Note: I played Gothic II from my own CDs a few years ago. I rate it 5/5, so The Chronicles of Myrtana would likely be 5/5 and not 1/5 if it would run on my system.

If you like Gothic 2

Not a bad effort with lots of stuff to do to keep you busy. Just like Gothic 2 only you are weaker and everything else is stronger so it takes longer. I never make it past the first chapter in the Gothic series as I lose interest after the first 10 hours.

Don't count your chickens...

The mod is standing on its own with the abundance of creative content, including places, objects, models, descriptions, and so on; this can be noticed only after as much as several hours in. There's a lot of each category in this mod; more than I was expecting, truth be told. Even the provided voiceover recordings are excellent and the fact they are here in the first place is a massive bonus. That being said, it's definitely not the "best Gothic mod of the past two decades", as the already circulating rumors would like you to believe. The claustrophobic design of most buildings springs first to mind, but the failed optimization would be the second obvious issue (even with the "obligatory" DX11 wrapper it's not as good as you would expect, since the overcooked amount of polygons on most 3D assets). But the worst thing? If I wouldn't have a few years of Gothic modding experience under my belt, I wouldn't even be able to play it on the premiere. I tried both GOG and retail installation methods, and only after both failed, I had to come up with own solution and make a slapdash, stitched CoM installation that will let me finally play. Therefore, get it on Steam, if you don't know what you're doing.

theres only polish audio with english text.

took me ages of mucking about trying to figure why my gothic had lost its english etc. :sigh: yet the entire storefront and game description is in english ironically ..duh. should make the whole game/store description in polish,that way us "non fan boys" can just skip past it etc, its misleading as it is imo and annoying,i have little enough leasure time as it is between work shifts etc to waste downloading something i cant use . The game does look good but i want to "play" a video-game, not read a book whilst listening to gobbledegook noises, sound/voices/words/comunication are the main tools in any game.. its like being in newark shopping centre,another similar "experience"..lol
