disappointing as expected
Well, I will spoil all the joyful, positive comments on this game with my more critical one. First of all, the game is nothing more than a stand alone add-on to the main game with some additional units. If you know the main game you will see myriads of copy passed mechanics and tactics. Graphics are nice at the beginning but the longer I played the more annoying they became. I find "extra" dynamic animations during the combat the most annoying and you cannot turn them off. Now the gameplay. I played with a mage in the main campaign a in this scenario. In both cases at the beginning you must be careful what you attack and must scavenge all, runes, leadership flags and so on avoiding tougher opponents. This is actually the only part of the game where I had much fun. Later on when you get biffed up and start recruiting Trolls/Cyclops/Dragons/Giants/Demonologists /Paladins/T-rexes you steamroll everything without losses. And all this regardless if the game says "easy" or "lethal" opponent. It happens somewhere between 25 and 30 level. This is the moment where battles start to look the same and the game gets really booooooring... . Yes, the game is terribly unbalanced. One might say that it gives numerous alternative strategies with hordes of various units, special abilities and spells but in reality it boils down to kill kill kill, resurrect, resurrect, resurrect, end, 0 units lost... . I guess the greatest issue in the game is that you have a limited supply of various units and you are forces to pick those that you can maxed out (well, THE original King's Quest was like that so no surprise here). Another issue is totally unbalances spelling system. I think I was typically using not more than 7-10 spells out of 50 or so... One might ask, but what about the story in the game? My answer would be: What story? A player is confronted with text containing some quest important information warped in a load of unnecessary rubbish and all this just to click "yes I accept the quest" or "no I do not" (If you are lucky, because most of the quests are so linear that you have no choice at all). Consequently I was diligently reading a first couple of "dialogs" and after that just clicked yes yes yes and was reading the quest description in the logbook... . You can try to immerse yourself in the story (if you have that much much time) or do it my way skipping all the the fillers.
Czy to było pomocne?
