Hi, before you vote down my review claiming it is not useful just because you bought the game and don't want to admit that it was a mistake think about these points please: 1. The English language used in this game -it is very wierd. Maybe it was used in a distant village in the medieval age and designers selected these artificial texts to increase the medieval feeling, I don't know, but be ready that you will not understand everything even if your English is exeptional. 2. why the heros must be cannibals? Why I have to use human flesh and bones for potions? All of the game designers are crazy shatanist guys, or what? Is it normal? Or they need some psichological help? 3. the world is very complex, which would be good if it was an interesting world. But it is not, the world, the lore, the whole system seems to be very artificial, this game tried to be 'bigger' than the great ancestors of the genre, they made every aspect of the game 'more', bigger, etc... but you can feel the smell of sweat... when the world is not interesting you don't want to read tons of texts just to not miss some non-important info... 4. the text and the voice are not the same, very, very annoying. 5. the tooltips of the weapons are not consistent, so you never know if you wear the better weapon or not. E.g.: in case of weapon X some of the modifiers are included in the summarized DPS, and some not, while the same modifiers for a weapon Y on the contrary, which was included for weapon X is not included now, but another stat is counted... 6. the game also trid to be unique, not just be better than the great predecessors: it is a huge mistake, since a good game would offer you e.g. 4-5 classic classes and 1 or 2 new, original, unique. But this game added 4-5 new classes while non of them proved themselves previously and feel very artificial. You can say, no problem, I prefer priest or fighter either way, so I don't have to learn how to use 'cipher' and so on. But you have to, even if you dislike the class since you have to control succesfully 6 characters. It would not be an issue in case of 5 classic and one new class, since even if you prefer wizard, you still know how to use a figher on a basic way. But those lot of new classes and none of them interesting... It seems the designers were bigheads and thought they can create 6 totally new classes what nobody ever previously and all of them will be so great that the gamers will be happy to learn and use all of them... no, they shoudl have kept those what the fans of the genre like and maybe try to renew a genre just a bit for first try. 7. the coders did not do more bugs as usual nowadays, but the game designers are the worst ever I have seen. I guess it is because they put the target way too high... they wanted everything and the result is nothing, but a lot of nothing. It seems the game is big, but it is just crowded with full of boring texts and an ugly world. For this world there is no hero who would want to fight...
Hi, I know that there are a lot of positive reviews about Dungeon Hack but please listen to these points as well: (I will not repeat the positive things, since many review already mentioned them.) 1. there is only one caracter in Dungeon Hack. It is definitely a disadvantage compared to the great classics like EOB. But there is also a big problem with this. If you create a e.g. cleric you will find items for clerics. So you will feel that the plenty of maces and staves have been put there by somebody just for you. It can riun the spirit, the feeling. It is not realistic that there is a boss, waiting only for your caracter. Why could not find my cleric any e.g swords? How did the creators of the dungeon know that a cleric and not a fighter will come to defeat them? 2. All of the levels are very schematic, there are no reason at all why this or that room or hall is there. In EOB the maps were designed. Here they are just generated. E.g. you will know that there is an illusionary wall just because something is missing from tha map and all of the levels have a rectangle shape so there most be a room. How dull. 3. But who is this guy who built this dungeon? A big evil? No -it is you. This is the main point of the game. In a certain meaning it could be an advantage, since you can customize it as you wish, but where is the surprise in it? If you know for sure that there will not be undeads, pits, water,... where is the excitement, the curiosity? 4. So the questions are: who changed all of the e.g. swords for maces directly for my cleric? Who created this dungeon? Yes, you. So who I defeate at the end? Yes, yourself. Not exciting. To summarize: very poor levels since they are not designed like in e. g. EOB but just generated, and there is no story at all (in EOB you could meet a tribe of dwarves who has reason to be there, NPCs with a backgroud story (even with simple story but at least something) could join your team, but in this game you just create a dungeon what you know more than the boss in it and then defeate youself. Poor. I think it could be good for those people for who the big classic ones of the genre were too difficult so they can switch of those elements and be proud of themselves. (If you vote down this review claiming that it is not useful I will know that you are in this category :-) )
Hi, this game would be great but sometimes, even if you have the proper idea you cannot solve it since the items often are so tinnies that nobody can see them in the game without a walkthrough. And even with a walkthrough I cannot use the flashlight so unable to finish it...
What to write what is not written already? It is perfect, of course. My favorite are the religions, they are implemented perfectly.
C'mon what an idiot necrophil you must be if you want to play as an undead dwarf... It is clear that the designers had pain in the ass when they tried to invent something 'original' and they failed. Or really, do you want to impersonate a snake? Then by an oldschool nokia, that's better.
Hi, It is a very primitive game, no connection to the original Gothic games at all, they just try to live on the old fame and trick the customers. It has a very primitive pirate-story and ugly and dumb characters. I as a huge fan of Gothic series (and the first Risen game) refunded it on Steam... The voice acting is also terrible.
I have the original, that's a great game. This remastered version is quite similar, but maybe the original is better, buy that if you can. If not, this will also be good just set a higher difficulty.
"As captain of the 4th department of Smersh," -I can not belive it, the player has to fight for a sadistic communisten agency who commited thousands of warcrimes??! Bye-bye GoG!
How can I save in this game beyond the rare books on the ground? Thanks!
