A Return to Classic CRPG gameplay
Pillars gets its worldbuilding right, the plethora of options allows the player to truly characterise their own avatar and allows for extensive role playing. The supporting cast of in game npc's are not as compelling. They don't lack for variety, and the characters are by no means simplistic or stereotypical and yet they fail to engage, their stories simply being ticked off as quests for additional experience. The story of Pillars is unique and offers some intriguing insights into the ethos and reality of the world. A region is torn asunder by the failure of it's population to beget children. Without a hope for future generations the citizens become restless placing their hopes with petty tyrants and other charlatans who offer them consolation through temporary solutions. Enter the hero, you, to shape the climate of the world to your vision. The gameplay harkens back strongly to the Infinity Engine games that Pillars was inspired by. The restricted movement, specific skill sets of character classes and party structure all add to the depth and complexity offering a variety of tactical elements to try in battle. The games difficulty can be adjusted allowing for varied challenge levels depending on the player, those who prefer tactical gameplay or those who prefer to resolve warfare quickly in order to proceed with the story. The game introduces some interesting classes, such as the chanter, who at first seems similar to a bard but in fact has some underlying mechanics that add a layer of subtlety to battles. There are of course your standard damage dealers, tanks and crowd control classes as well, and classes can be customized somewhat to play to particular skill sets. The game can offer hour's of fine tuning and tinkering with skills, abilities, spells etc. This customizability caters to a variety of playstyles which benefits the gamer. This is a welcome return to the CRPG genre and the ode to the Infinity Engine games of yesteryear.
