Description
For thousands of years the Dark One has been trapped, but now the four seals keeping him imprisoned have been lost. Four organization of opposing beliefs and principles were searching for these seals. The Aes Sedai sisterhood managed to recover three, but one of them was stolen, allegedly by members of a sect within their organization that worshipped the Dark One. Elayna Sedai, Keeper of the Chronicles of the White Tower, has been promoted to the leader of Aes Sedai, and must retrieve the lost seal at all costs.



The Wheel of Time is a fantasy-themed 3D shooter based on the novel series of the same name by Robert Jordan. Combat is ranged, but the player character doesn't use any weapons and instead relies on artifacts called "ter'angreal". There are 40 types of ter'angreal in the game, which can be used for offensive as well as defensive purposes, e.g. shoot lightning and fireball, heal or hide the protagonist in a cloak, etc.


Features:

  • Environments in real time 3D
  • Diverse weather effects like wind, rain and snow
  • Construction and equipping of own fortresses
  • More than 100 artifacts and magic spells
  • Based on Robert Jordans epic novel
  • Unique multiplayer dynamic
  • Single and local multiplayer mode available up to 4 players

An AMAZINGLY REFRESHING gem!

MUCH kudos and respect to the creators/developers of "Wheel of Time."... not just for the quality of game experience, but for the theme of fighting the Good Fight, or following the Dharma [however you choose to prhrase it]. I have only just begun to explore this metarealm, but so far it appears to be a shockingly refreshing gem based on wisdom, not violence or any other of the typical, shallow, boring themes of the mainstream bourgeoisia, and just what I was hoping for but dared think existed. _/*\_

Unnecessarily irritating

The game throws a lot of annoying enemies and traps at you. One particular map is full of traps and the only function it has is to annoy you (people quit the game when playing this map and for good reasons). Later on it combines traps with very strong enemies. At the end of the day I'm playing a game for fun and not to save scum at every step. It seems they haven't tested this game for fun. There is a potential for 5 stars but I will give it 2 due to improper game design. You have been warned.

Decidedly Average

There's a reason that many people continued to play Unreal, Deus Ex, Quake and the like and didn't keep playing The Wheel of Time. The game world / maps are mundane and fairly average, the inventory cluttered, the cutscenes extremely long winded, and the enemies bland. I suspect the only reason this game was revitalized was to capitalize on the recent TV show. Legend Entertainment had a reputation for adapting fantasy novels to games with the release of Shannara and Death Gate, I'm not sure why they opted for a FPS this time around, probably because of their success with the Unreal mission pack. Don't get me wrong The Wheel of Time isn't a bad game, it's just not a particularly good one, especially when you stand it up against other FPS titles from the same time period. If you're a die hand fan of the books you've probably already bought this. For everyone else I'd recommend looking elsewhere for your retro FPS satisfaction.

Badly aged shooter with "cartoon" story

So I'm a fan of the books, which is probably the only reason I looked at this. What you get is a shooter with a wheel of time skin, which has aged badly. The story telling was not up to the standard of the source material and reminded me of a children's cartoon. I guess this holds some nostalgia value for some people but offers nothing to a modern gamer, not even fans of the books.

A Stain on the IP

I bought this game WAY back when it first came out... and back then I thought it was crap. To see players being charged near $10 for this now is bad, but to see 5 star reviews of it, boggles me. This was bad for 1999 standards, and has little to do with the actual story from the books. You fling spells in bad graphics from 25 years ago. There, I saved you a few dollars.
