Tedious and frustrating gameplay you cannot love it but you cannot hate it either. Graphics: Starting from graphics quite impressive for a 2009 game however i noticed graphical glitches and some areas didn't properly loaded leading to floating objects dark background and fighting invincible enemies. Story: Proceeding to story you got your cliche typical RPG story about revenge. Your spouse dies and it's time to go out for your revenge leading to choises that don't really matter because whatever you do the result is the same. Why do i given a choise when there is only one way to finish the quest? it's beyond me. Combat: Moving on to combat oh boy how can i put this sometimes it's ridiculously easy other times ultra hard for no f****** reason unbalanced even on normal difficulty. Smash the attack button. Sometimes enemies forget to block your attacks other times they remember that when it's too late for them. Magic: Speaking of which magic is fine in the game maybe the best aspect of the game. You got various spells to choose from and it's fun combined with melee combat. Notice that when you level up you have to find a teacher to buy skills leading to back and forth. Skills: As far as it concerns skills you got for magic, melee combat, swords, axes, warhammers etc. So i guess it's totally fine no complains here. Maps and Quests: Prepare to get lost like a lot. The map is fairly long seperated in districts there is no fast travel so you have to go anywhere on foot at least in the beginning and by the way there is no mounts.Moving on to quests it's a mess.Sometimes there is an indicator where to go other times you have to figure this out by yourself wandering around like an idiot searching for the quest item or the quest target gets tedious real fast. And when there is an indicator it sometimes lead you to different location. Music and Voice Acting: Lack of proper music and in general not good.Voice acting is okay though Conclusion: Mediocre RPG with many flaws.
So let's start with the good ones are we? Graphics: When you begin playing a new game the first thing you notice is the graphics, for it's age it's beautiful except the lighting or montion blur which hurt your eyes. Story: You can complete the main story in less than 7 hours maybe even less if you activate cheats. (And i did) story is fine but you have to complete a series of unrelated quests to reach endgame. I like how they at least made a good narrative story. Alchemy: The best part of the game is alchemy you can combine almost every item to make a potion or a gem to increase the effect of the item i spent hours experimenting with new potions. Unfortunately now we get to the worst parts Combat: Mediocre especially melee funny as h*** animations spam the attack button and you win simple as that remember to dogde some enemy attacks can't be blocked, you can also use your spells alongside melee. Skills: Kinda pointless. You can choose between mage, archer and melee skills each with different category. Upgrading skills is kinda pointless because the enemy balance is not good. There is also a skill for swimming which leads to death if you try to swim and it's hilarious. Moreover there is another pointless skill Horse Riding with the worst controls i have even seen. Map and Quests: To be fair the map is fine at first glance it gives you the impression everywhere is the same but it's not there is a variety of places. Now the quests are the worst i have ever seen fetch quests mostly and most of the time you don't know what to do because most of the quests can be completed if another quest is completed. Voice Acting and Dialog: The most hilarious part of the game.So bad voice acting is good also the translation into English is not good Magic: Maybe the best in the game with a variety of spells but i didn't use it much only when i have to. Conclusion: A decent RPG game with many flaws not the best not the worst
