Beaucoup de qualités ! Le graphisme et surtout la DA sont superbe, cela permet de rentrer rapidement dans le jeu et de s'impliquer fortement dans sa propre épopée, de vivre sa propre histoire. L'univers est sombre et rend bien un moyen Âge fictif où les mercenaires ont supplanté les armées régulières. Pour le gameplay, de la gestion de sa troupe jusqu'au combat tactique, tout marche parfaitement. Même les petits jeux pour pêcher couper du bois etc... sont sympas et ajoute de l'immersion. Et l'exploration est un vrai plus. Un excellent exemple de comment faire ressentir beaucoup de choses avec peu de moyens (exemple des torches lors des explorations qui suffisent à rendre les dalles de ses anciennes ruines sombres et inquiétantes). Bref un bon jeu pas cher qui nous fait plonge tellement dans l'aventure qu'on en oublie les heures qui défilent.

What can I say... the art style and atmosphere of the game are simply awesome! There are a lot of games I wish had this type of both immersive and yet slightly fantasy inspired design. Also the management aspect of the group with the small camp building is an interesting touch yet a bit finicky. One can be divided about the "arena-like" battlefields... but omg... when it comes to interface/menu and the class/combat gameplay. Menus are as inconvenient as possible, and abilities way to limited to be of use for any real interesting gameplay. Don't expect any Xcom like tactics or real RPG goodness. Goes on with classes. Animals (except for carry ponys) are pretty useless, as they add way too much party slots for their minor benefit. Makes beastmaster classes horribly bad. They should change animals to a DnD like System, making them a part of the beastmaster instead of full partymembers. For me that creates a love-hate relationship with the game. At least they added drop in/out MP.

I was searching for a game presenting many tactical fights, instead of beeing story driven game like Baldurs Gate or Divine Divinity. I think we have a game that for some can be called "best on the market". I will sum up it to pros and cons. I think it will be better than writing more stories: Pros: - Good graphics, showing both beauty and ugliness. - Interesting exploration, enchanced with ropes, locked doors etc. - Story that can give you will to play but can be totally ommited if you don't care (click and forget). It is possible to attack side you wish. Help one fraction, then destroy it helping the guards. Who cares? You are a bucnh of some folks earning money and fame. - Entertaining mini games. Crafting, plraying bard songs, mining. All of them are sort of rythm games and I find them amusing. - Dungeon gamplay. However it could have more fights, dungeons are build like a mix of exploration, mini games, puzzles and taking risk. - Blood, brutal attacks, but... (see cons) - Organising own group, wher death can be a part of our management style. - Many other things you can check yourself ;) Cons: - Blood, brutall attacks but... lack of variety. I thought the game offers brutality like in Fallout 2 where different weapons could damage the enemy in different, sometimes funny ways. Here we have one possible finisher for every type of weapon and it quicky becomes boring. It feels worse that what Fallout 2 offered. If devs could add more "spice" to this sections and more animations. - Companions bugs. I can understand many things but male companions and female companions having mixed voices are off. Big bearded man talks with the voice of "young lady" or blonde woman with deep male voice. Still not repaired. It happens "at once" from time to time in taverns. - AI flaws. I can't understad a soldier standing on the field with attack prepared to be executed after few turns in obvious situation, where it can't be effective. It happens even on expert.

Didn't expect this game to be as good as it was, reading some of the critics, decided to not go with level scaling, and I have been having a blast. And so far I have no complaints, the game hooked me instantly, it has everything I like. There could always be more content but as it stands it's feature complete and extra content is just welcomed. I have never heard of this dev team but you guys killed it, amazing game.

Tired of being a hero in DnD? Well, Dungeon Crawl Classic is an answer to that. None of your characters are in their ideal profession and therefor adds a bit of struggle. Min Maxers HATE this game cuz their smooth brains can't handle the fact that the character isn't 'ideal'. Overall it gives you compelling choices and the choices you make shapes what happpens to you later. You have to manage wages, money, food, and happyness. Yeah, theirs some randomness to it, but to me, thats fun.
