I can't even start the game, you can not push half of the buttons in the menu
More or less. It is much easier, but still captures atmosphere. Sound design is good, level design is good, graphics a bit worse (especially guns, especially shotgun), but all's well
All I have to know now if enemies is respawning constantly or not (or if you can disable respawn). Well, yes, it is part of atmosphere of the game, but it is a bit too much for me in shooters. Well, actually enemies are not too hard here anyway. And you can stealth around. And still it is something. Something really close to original. Even if maybe easier.
...not too good. Controls are weird, reaction time is a bit strange and I was not able to gather the torch in practice level for some reason
So basically there are a lot of awful uncomfortable things. No, not the animations. Mainly it is: Too long time to transfer from one half of a city to another. And you will do it A LOT cause quests demand it. One time I get quest to go back to one part of the city right after this looooong subway trip. And also once similar situation was right after I waited ton of time to gown down the elevator. Also you don't really need whole THREE stations for one of the halves. Half of main dialogs skippable, half - not. And you need to listen to a half of it again if you wish to replay it. Too much lootable objects. This game is tiny in comparison, but it wastes your time for no good reason too much for my taste. It just created...wrong somehow, there are other stuff that are uncomfortable, but they are small. And yet they are many. *** Other than all of that the game is..ok, nothing special
even for older games standards. Too much unnecessary NPCs, uninteresting story, boring gameplay and leveling/stats system, not much to look at visually and not much to listen to audially. Well, it's cheap and it shows, think it was cheap even back then. Can not really like this game, I've seen much better back then and now. I've tried, and...even with cheats it is just a mess
A little bit Ys, a little bit Diablo-like. A bit basic fantasy action-rpg. Good mechanics, good graphics (for it's time, but still better anti-aliasing needed), ok music... Story is just normal fantasy story with some interesting moments (maybe if I were playing other games I will find it more interesting). I wonder if other games of Xanadu/Dragon Slayer series will find their way to gog.
Too many enemies Trade menu is uncomfortable Too many stuff you don't really need (items and abilities) Most bullet-spongiest last boss ever So basically game is old But still have interesting story and visuals, glad I've done it, even if with cheats for last part of a game
So.... They done good. But not everything. Story may have been a bit better (especially normal ending). Script too (especially some over the top anime-like dialogues... You don't really need to name everyone on screen each time). And yes, there are too many labyrinths and not enough unique. And still it is solid game with good mechanics and story. But they can do better
