I bought this several years ago for my son. I have always played RPGs mainly, where he liked RTS games, but since this had RPG elements I decided to give it a try after he had finished it. I was pleasantly surprised at how addictive the gameplay was and how much I enjoyed the game. I always disliked the micromanagement you had to do with strategy titles but this seemed to hit the perfect balance. Some maps played like an action RPG such as Diablo where you took your party exploring the map conquering everything in sight. Other times it required more muscle to defeat the enemies, so the RTS portion kicks in and you have to raise an army by gathering resources, building a town, and creating your army. The storyline was good and the quests were varied, some spanning several maps. This does not have the Dragon Storm expansion, but I liked this one better, and maybe GoG will get DS too. I am hoping that eventually the other expansion, Faith In Destiny, will be released, but that is up in the air with JoWood declaring bankruptcy.
