I had this on my wishlist for months. I just read the bit about how you promote the 'five pillars of genetics'. Uh-huh. Who thought up that idiotic nonsense? I refuse to support people passing off idiotic theories as educational facts. Hopefully someday we'll see a game that can present this correcltly. This is a no-go, I won't support it.
GEEZ Dev!! If you want to highlight your scripted story.. SLOW IT DOWN. Absolutely impossible to read all of that nonsense without a pause button.
Developer: Look here.. This game is about as old as Captain Crunch cereal. It's good for a few bites, but then the sugar starts to hurt your teeth. I've been waiting for the price of this to drop to a couple of dollars so I can pick it up for years. I already paid full price for the game twice before. I'm not forking over a bunch of cash for it again. I know, you don't care about my single purchase. Well here's the scoop, chief. You've got a whole generation of kids out there who WOULD pick this game up the first time. if it was only a few bucks. Get the picture?
Bored Developer: 'I know! Let's grab the quintessential name for a Desktop RPG VTT game system, and use it for a cheesy little clicky mobile phone puzzle game.' Yep, that's right. This is a puzzle game. With cheesy leader boards and the whole ball of wax. Nerdy 13 year old boys.. knock yoursleves out. Game Masters looking for something awe inspiring.. keep on truckin down the road. I'm fond of MapTool myself, because it works locally without internet access. :)
I can't believe this trash is on GoG. It's not even old. It's just fresh crappy gaming. The cute monsters are window dressing. The game has NOTHING to do with monsters, and the humor in the game ranges from completely stupid to 'a first grader would laugh'. Buy it if you want, but be prepared to ask for a refund.
You'll have to buy about 73 DLC expansions to get the characters and options to actually play this piece of crap. This crapware doesn't even belong on GoG, and I hope the clowns that developed this had to sell themselves on a street corner to pay the bills for developing this!
Nearly every aspect of this game was ripped out of Diablo. This is not Diablo though, this is an RPG. Love it for what it is. I played this game countless times when I couldn't connect to the battle.net servers to get my fix. I can't recommend it enough. If you love Diablo style gameplay, get this. It adds an intrigueing RPG / storyline mode to the style. I really wish there were more like it. The one disadvabtage of course is that evenetually the story ends, and you can't keep leveling your guy. It's all good though, the game is totally worth it. Espacially dirt cheap.
+1 - Outstanding scenery. +1 - Choreographed music. +1 - Making me CARE about the ending of the game. -1 - Voice overs are gibberish. Literally. -1 - The ending of the game. There is only one voice over language, and I don't recognize it. I would guess that it's either Esperanto or Sim-speak. It took me strait 150% out of the game immersion. It screws up the flow of the game play, because you've got to guess at what you're supposed to do. The game CLAIMED that I needed a controller. I don't. The controls are VERY simplistic.. just insanely difficult. You've got to be ambidextrous to control both brothers at the same time. It's a huge mental challenge. I got about 1/3 of the way through the game before I had to consult a walkthrough to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do. Thankfully, the puzzles in the game are all relatively straightforward. About 2/3rds of the way through the game I had to check the walkthrough again. That's when I learned that there were achievements. I wish I'd just quit there. The game takes some shocking turns, that you're not going to like. I ALMOST gave up the game right at the end, because the game refused to move on. I just started pushing all of the controls, and discovered that they switched them out to be clever. When you get there, you'll know it. So then the story ends shortly after.. but by the end you're so cold you just don't care anymore. The devs somehow made me feel just like the expression on little brothers face. I kinda hate them for that.. but I've got to applaud the effort. That's about the time that I noticed that the achievement menu didn't work. Personally, I love a good story. This one is something Shakespeare would write because he was pissed that his dog died. ..because his wife fell out of the window and crushed it. Then they both got run over by a horse. We've all seen those movies that you walk away from going 'everybody should watch it once'. Well this is one of those. Only it's a game.
Never played the game. I'm dropping 5 stars because the developer has the class and dignity not to yell at the idiot end users for flapping their gums about 'which flag goes on the box' when in reality.. the game was produced with multiple box art styles. Seriously, look it up. Quit whining like a bunch of babies. Also, note that the devs changed the box art on GoG back to the flag-neutral version, so I expect the whiners have bought the game now, like they promised. Oh, and to the long winded guy whining about people using the words Russia and U.S.S.R. interchangeable. News Flash: The region has a complex history. People (around the world) Use the terms interchangeable. Get over it. There isno disrespect intended. ..unlike the comment inferred about Polish developers.
