Great game, great dev. I own this game on virtually every platform possible and spent hundreds of hours playing. A perfect blend of farming sim and life/dating sim with a good bit of fighting, mining, fishing and foraging, very relaxing solo and engaging in multiplayer.
Fun, short, unpolished point-and-click game with weird, unique humor and storytelling. As others already stated, the game feels kinda rushed, especially the later worlds; it doesn't diminish the fun, though. Puzzles are medium to hard at times (musical notes and lemming positioning), story is short but enjoyable and the whole game lasts for 5-6 hours. I'm probably biased by nostalgia, but I give it a whole 5/5.
The first one is a very good dungeon crawler with nice visuals and charming music, pretty easy puzzles and tough enemies (white tower 3 ugh) and sometimes very frustrating moments (mostly castle cimmeria - that one particular lock that requires high rogue skills and herb medicine puzzle). Wasn't too short but not too long either. I enjoyed it very much. Five stars. The second one... I haven't finished it yet because of game breaking bugs. The controls are really whacky, even when remapped. Graphics is much worse compared to the previous game. I wish this game had subtitles, because NPC's are babbling very quietly and I barely understand a word. The curse is frustrating at times but I enjoyed it, something unique at last. The game is very bugged, at least on my machine: crashing, missing items, Baccata getting stuck, cantina freeze, more crashes during the cutscenes and more and more... Soundtrack is amazing, though, so I give it a 2/5. I'll give this game a second chance sometime in the future and update this review if I ever finish this game. Never played those games, so I'm not blinded by nostalgia.
Absolutely great dungeon crawler series, I had more fun beating all 3 without a mapper than playing most modern hand-holding games. And I never played it before. The second one was much harder but the first one was much more enjoyable than the rest. I encountered one bug and had to use a hex editor to fix it, though. A must play for a true RPG fan.
Not much replayability - yea, every class has it's own beginning and a couple of unique quests, but the rest is the same. The lack of merchants able to repair equipment in the late game is really irritating, fighting the necromancer in tattered rags was a fun challenge, though; dungeons are long and tedious and the capacity system curbs loot hoarding urges (most of the time it's impossible to backtrack and grab more stuff). The plot is just bland: no unique, memorable characters or choices, weird ending and it's kinda short (6-8h, depends on class you choose). What I find really good is the music and graphics, both are very nostalgic and atmospheric, even the voice acting was fine. Runs well on Windows 10 without additional fixes, runs even better on OpenNox engine.
I loved it to the last bit. Absolutely great dungeon crawler. To be honest, it was the first game that brought me joy since 2010.
