Plot spoilers below. TL:DR don't buy this The combat system is the worst I have ever seen in a game, with an auto lock on so agressive it is impossible to run away from combat because it will spin you around and lock you back in. The combat system is skill based, meaning that at low skill almost all of your attacks will be parried. It was so frustrating I modded the game to make myself immortal and even that didn't work. This game is absolutely determined that your character is a loser, so it forced me into a boss battle early on with an unkillable foe. With both of us immortal it was taking a long time, so I looked up online and found out you are forced to lose this fight. The subsequent cutscene is humiliating and then you are rescued by a girl, which gets rubbed in your face later on. Throughout the game you play a lowborn serf who is constantly berated by your betters in the nobility. The best you can hope for is a good dog pat on the head, but mostly they just abuse you. It gets 2 stars for the medieval setting, equipment, and sound effects, which are well done, but the combat system is atrocious and the character is a simpering lap dog from beginning to end.
