Ultimately too tedious to be much "fun"
Crpgs are my favorite game category of all time. Baldurs gate, Fallout, even tactical-types like Jagged Alliance top my all-time list. As a slightly older gamer, Realms seemed like a natural fit, and I had read a fair amount beforehand about how hard and detailed it was, even among the genre. You can spend a solid hour creating and crafting your party, but I didnt mind. You can spend another hour researching how and what skills will be needed or useful. I didnt mind. You can spend even more time researching spells and their effects.. I think you see what I mean by now. All of these things are welcome in a hard-core old rpg, if done well, but they just arent. After hours of slogging through the actual game-play, the low-budget and admitted inexperience of the developers becomes glaringly apparent. The ideas and mechanics werent implemented in such a way to compliment each other, or even work at all in some cases. You will spend much more time fighting your inventory managment than you will actual enemies. Starting in the first dungeon, after finding a couple treasure chests and winning a few battles, you will have to treck back to town to sell what youve found, partially because you wont have room for it, but more so because you will be so weighted down, fighting becomes impossible. Quickly you have enough money to get the best starter armor and equipment, but the designers cleary didnt have this mind, because a full armor-set means even your strongest warrior will be weighed down to the point where they will not be able carry anything else in their inventory and still be effective. The designers werent expecting you to get full armor until youve leveled up a couple times and increased your strength. This hardly helps in any case, early on your spellcasters will fail nearly every spell barring a few. Battles with 10 enemies, all of them as strong as your best warrior are common early game. Again- ideas good, execution not so much. Your mileage may vary.
