Honestly, a week ago it wasn't the best game from the past i've ever played. Tried it only once, couldn't understand it and swiftly deleted it. It was 15 years ago. But i found it here, on GoG, and tried it once again. And again. And once again. That much because of countless attempts to make it run smoothly. And after one success i fell in love with this game. Surely, there is a lot of bugs and crazy decisions regarding HUD and process, but gameplay is just fine as soon as you go deeper.
First of all, i can understand those who take this game as a waste, but it's not quite like that. Yes, i can admit, if you take it as another game from brilliant M&M series, it's dissapointing as hell. But if you will find courage to drow deeper into the process, you'll see that it was only the most interesting experiment to mix the genre (unlike Drakan: Order of the Flame, of course, because in Crusaders there is a lot more RPG elements than in Drakan). Yes, it's not that good. But it's not that bad as well. I'm enjoying this game, and hope you would too.
The best review is the story i found this game: First i've met "Driftmoon" i was looking for something similar to "Eschalon" and somehow "Balrum". I was intended to find some game filled with dark-fantasy arts and plot, with crimson story-driven gameplay, difficult battles and tactics. Then i found "Driftmoon" and it dissapointed me this way. I found it's humorous dialogs and story quite stupid and childish, gameplay was boring and even music seems to put me into the wrong mood. Then i exposed of it, and decided never play it again. Then, some years later, i tried once more. And i liked it. It is trully puts me into the times of my childhood, when fairy tales was bright and good, characters was kind and funny, and process was simple but attractive. "Driftmoon" trully has no mechanics and stories to tell in a grim and ugly way. It's still a fairy tale from the past. And if you watch it works this way, you'll definitely love it.
First "Unepic", now "Ghost 1.0". I couldn't wait till it appears there, since the game has been released in Steam. One of the best RPG-platformers on PC - humor, dynamics, powerful gameplay and impressive story. And hardcore, of course. For those who sincerelly loves "Unepic" - you'll love it even more.
