A fantasy point and click game where you have to explore five "under-worlds" to find your parents kidnapper, at certain parts of the game you will probably get an "Alice in Wonderland" feel. . The puzzle are divided in two categores, the standard point and click puzzles where you have to use item X on character/item Z and the classic puzzle like "align the tiles", "find the correct path on the platforms" and so on. Puzzles that fall on the first category are for the most part simple but in many cases a a lot of pixel hunting is required or moon logic is involved. Game is short, around 5-6 hours and there is a lot of backtracking but fortunately you can increase the walking speed or totally skip the movement part by right clicking with mouse. Why two stars? The setting is fine, the jokes were for me funny and the music is good, but i didn't really like much the amount of pixel hunting required to solve some of the puzzles. Additionally the game crashed 3-4 times first time, i experienced that on SCUMMVM! I recommend to buy it on sale.
I like the class system and the combat is similar to fallout tactics, when the proper uses of firing lines and ambush will win you the day. Unfortunately there are too many bugs and crashed, especially i didn't manage to get the final mission event (mycera something) so i got stuck on a neverending "your base are under attacks by starghosts" loop.
Boring
Can't map the keys, need to play on fullscreen...
Imho this is the best Might and Magic
You can manage to run it in windows 10/11 by checking the appropriate thread in the forum, the expansion of Incubation (Wilderness Missions) it's a chore.
The big difference from the main game, is that you only pay your mercenaries an one time fee and they will stick to you no matter how much time you spent. I think the best part is the beginning, where you have to play in a sorta of Commandos-style(the videogame) and you are more often than not outnumbered and outgunned (we are talking about 6 mercenaries vs 20-25 enemies). The late game it's a bit boring, it starts when you enter the enemy installation and you have to slog through long dark corridors and rooms where in every there is a camping sniper.
I think no other turn based games have reaches this level.
Terrible.
