Memories

I'm not sure how to feel about this game. This review might be a tad strange, since I haven't played it in a very, very long time. I'm excited to see it on GOG, however, and I'm definitely going to pick it up once I've finished with Pillars of Eternity. I played this game when I was quite young. I had never played anything like it, and it was definitely one of the most difficult games I ever tried to tackle. But it was so worth it. From what I remember, much of what other reviewers are saying about it going downhill pretty fast is true. I can remember spending a lot of time and having a blast in the beginning of the game. You start in Barcelona, and you can explore the city and just do sidequests and what have you. There were lots of factions you could side with, and all sorts of crazy sidestories to experience. Honestly, I always thought the setting was really interesting. However, shortly after you exhaust all the fun (and plentiful dialogue, which was always my favorite) in Barcelona, you get to move on to the next part of the game. Suddenly this game that somehow managed to keep my interest despite being what I considered a difficult game became a huge bore. Interesting characters and dialogue opportunities were few and far between, and it seemed like I was wrestling with sleep-inducing dungeon monotony for hours upon hours. I never did finish the game. I also remember not being able to continue any further. I loved dialogue so much, I always made my character to be a super good diplomat, but once I got to later parts in the game, where combat was much more important, I was screwed. Who knows, I'll probably be much better off now since I'm older. I have SO many fond memories of this game, and it really bums me out to see it get such mediocre ratings. The game is definitely flawed, but there was so much to love about it. Not to mention Leonardo Da Vinci is a friggin wizard that belongs to a secret mage society. How sweet is that?

I liked it

I like the fallout style RPG so finding this one was cool. The combat system is more real-time like one of the combat modes in Arcanum. Focus on combat skills first . then focus on the soft skills, otherwise you get killed too much .

Seems incredible but delivers poorly...

Very disappointed in this game, the character never feels like they amount to much, at least not the one I was playing AND I had the guide constantly up for help and advice. Part of my disappointment is due to being so excited about discovering this game since some of my favorite games are BG, IWD, Torment, Fallout etc. but then it fell totally flat. The mechanics are never explained (to my satisfaction at least) and some of them I just could not understand like crit hit, don't have a clue what that does, at the end of the game I was over lvl 35 probably and was doing a bit over 30 dmg per hit with a two handed weapon, in my estimation I had quite a lot of crit hit chance (probably over 30 or 40) and I was hitting for more damage like once every 5 minutes. Worst of all probably is the 'knock prone' thingy that characters do (once again a mystery to me) and then it takes your little guy half an hour to pick himself up while the enemies are having their way. God forbid you actually try and fight a bunch of enemies in one go, you end up on the brink of death if you even survive unless you draw enemies out slowly, all in all a very tedious affair. Next we have insufferable corridors with archers positioned on the high ground peppering you with arrows while you have to run through the corridor to reach some bulls*** doo-dad. You actually have to hoard quite an assortment of weapons to be competitive in the slightest which I would have found one of the more fun aspects of the game were it not for the fact that you have to juggle other equipment around constantly for different tasks on top of that. The game actually looks quite charming and has an interesting premise and setting but alas, it is marred substantially by the things previously described. If only the game made you feel more powerful towards the end and combat didn't feel like such a slog I would have even been tempted to give this game 4 stars. As is, 2 stars is probably more than generous.

Oldie but goldie

Nice old RPG. Not best, not bad. Something to play between bigger and newer games.

I have a history with this game - This must be remade!

I first played this game as a demo version in late 2003. I really liked it as the demo version really lured me in. I played it quite a few times. Then I forgot about it because I couldn't really buy the full version from anywhere as I was living in a different country then. In 2006, I saw a single boxed copy of this game being sold at a local store in their games section. I never expected this game to show up at my local store of all places and the price was incredibly high too. I kept seeing this game in it's box for a few months in that store glass display box and it kept getting to me. I eventually began to worry if it would be bought by someone else or if the store would remove it really soon. I eventually couldn't help myself and asked my big sister to buy it and after thinking about it, I really didn't expect this lone copy to be bought by anyone else as I'm pretty much one of the extremely few kids who used to play such PC games in my country. I still have those original discs today and the manual. I have played this game many times and I keep coming back to it. I thought I last played this for my last time in 2010 but I played this again earlier this year (2012) because I found a cheat code of this game. I finished in less than 7 days and boy it was really fun to play with the tables turned against the enemies for once :). I couldn't really find the bonus CD content online anymore as I did in the past so I was kicking myself for deleting that file years ago from my PC. I didn't update my game to its most recent patch because it would have rendered the cheat code unusable. This is one of those very underrated games for sure. A game maker needs to look at this game. This game has a lot of potential and is quite fun to play but most of the latter half takes a combat turn. Overall, this game could have been much better. I believe, the game makers were having issues during the time before the release of this so they rushed this game to the shelves. In that case, this game should have never hit the shelves because it was greatly incomplete (injustice to the game). A good game should never take a turn like Lionheart did. It started out so good and then fell apart. If your character wasn't strong enough, you would have great difficulty during the latter part of this game. For me, Lionheart is an incomplete game with tons of potential. This game could have been right up there with Age of Mythology - one of my favorites and a highly successful game from the Lionheart era. Overall, this game is still worth playing, though it is incomplete and falls way short of it's complete potential. It was great to see this game listed here on this site. I only hope that a game maker might pick up on this game and make it again to it's full potential and with an even greater diversity. They just don't make games like this anymore. After this era, I left PC gaming for good as it all became about performance and graphics and what not.........geeeez. Thanks for reading my rant.
