Barring HOMM there aren't a lot of classic turn-based fantasy games out there that ever intrigued me. I bought this after reading a few reviews and craving a great turn-based fantasy game. It was on special for the week when I bought it and it is an outstanding games. The art, animation, storyline, combat everything is a 10 in my book. I especially all the nods to the fantasy genre from Tolkien to Terry Pratchett. Do yourself a favor and buy this game. My one knock is the spell system. While I enjoy the spells, and the animations are terrific, I wish the spell book was a bit more extensive. My hero is level 16 so I may need to get more toward the end game but it seems like a lot of the spells are fairly useless. In addition GOG needs to release all the expansion packs so I can get those as well :)
