Poorly aged mediocre RPG
As you can see most of the Reviews are very positive. Unfortunately i myself was very dissapointed with the game. Let me breakdown a bit in depth why i did not enjoy the game. The Gameplay is a mixture between Diablo (Grinding for Level up and Gold, and looting Rare Items from Chests) and Morrowind (Open world, tons of NPC) . I expected a Turn based fight system like in Baldurs gate or Icewind Dale or at least something similar with some strategical depth. Unforuntaly the very old Engine and the poorly designed Combat System do not allow any real strategy. The fights become tedious and repetetive very fast. Sometimes you have to use heal or another cleric spell to remove the insignificant status changes that affects one of your heroes. That is about it. The story starts promising you win a castle with a village in the middle of 3 rivaling kingdoms (Elves ,Humans and Dwarves). The empires are on the brim to war. WIll you be a warmonger (evil path) or can you restore peace (good path). But then very fast after 1/3 of the game, the story totally starts to suck very hard. The FInal Missions of the game are (at least for me) a total disaster and absolutey horrendously written. Especially the last 2 dungeons are so insanely bad that it nearly hurts, I do not want to spoil the end but it really sucked. Feels like they had to rush the game out due to a deadline of the producer. The rest of dungeons are also pretty boring, just some tunnels filled with random mobs and some easy and annoying puzzles. No real Boss fights, you have to pay attention to even see the boss, before you kill him because he has the same model as mobs and only slightly better stats. Big minus. Dragons and Titans are basically mobs, running around in groups of 3 or 4. You kill them in the end like you killed goblins at the start. Very dissapointing!!!! The 3D graphics have a poor art style and make the game look terrible today, other older games with did age a lot better The quests are pretty basic: get item "xy", kill person"xy". Sometimes you have to search entire areals unfortunately for quest items with no hint where it could be. Very tedious. Good things: - Nice loot (feels a bit like Diablo, just see what is around the next corner) - Interesting skill system where you have to search for teacher / guilds to gain access to your skills. - The monsters do not scale with your level, so you can come back to areas where you got smashed later and kick some ass big time. - The villages and cities are well done for a game of 1999. - Open world, no barriers. Feel free to explore every location if you can manage to defeat the mobs. Fazit : 4/10 . If you want to play RPG with a story i rather recommend you buying Baldurs Gate or Planescape Torment. Icewind Dale for nice tactical fights.
