Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown

What a disappointment

Don't misunderstand me: this game should be my cup of tea. I am an old(er) gamer, I love retro RPGs, vintage might & magic, old Wizardry games and all. But this one, neither gameplay-wise or graphically brings back the vintage charm. It feels like a mobile phone game attempt at something vaguely evocative of classical RPGs. And it looks like a flash game. No artistic pixel charm as we would expect. Mechanics are weak. You can't even cast a, arrow, magical or not, from a distance (only in close combat) ! And the blandness of the art is as depressing as the gameplay. Now, I'd hate to hurt the feeling of the devs because, as amateurish as they may be, they probably have a great taste in games. Just don't have the skill to craft a one, sadly. What is really worrying is the 4.4/5 note this game receives through GOG review. There is something fishy there... GOG's notes are becoming completely unreliable, lately
