This game is awesome . As an RPG it aint that great but for an action-game which you build up your character into legendary badass , its awesome . Its more like an Diablo inn third person with an combat that is more akin to the old God of Wars on the ps2 . Its very underrated and perfect to kill some time or playing a game just for its gameplay alone .
Does it have flaws ? Yeah. It has alot of typos , the delivery in its VA is weird and somehow amateurish delivered ( its from a french developement team from the 90s , that mades its debut with this game ). But still very playable like typical classic Surival horror game from the ps1 - times. It oozes atmosphere and has a unique approach that i miss in horror games often . While the voice acting aint that great , it still delivers a nice story with a fresh take that isnt outright eldritch-horror . The aiming system is something to get used to because it automaticly aims at monsters if you face them directly in some sort of 180° -ish cone . Darkworks studios was a very underrated studio that were focused on horror games but never had many chances to bring out more games with such calibre . Many cancled games and extremely awesome concepts were scrapped thanks to publishers that underrated this developement studio from french and avoided Horror-games entirely in the 2000s . It even runs on my Rig fine and i had no technical difficulties whatsoever . For Horror-fans , give this game a whole playthrough. This game and its setting has still so much potential and elevates itself from the older Alone in the Darkness-games which shouldnt be shunned by its flaws and i think its the best game in the whole series. And a tripple-barreled shotgun with a double-barelled Revolver too in this game alone its worth to play it on its own . For me it earns full 5 stars .
