This game was not engaging to me, even with the massive party size the progress against the first enemy that came up was so slow. If it wanted to be like 'old games but better' (says something like this on the splash screen) then it would have the manual incorporated into the main menu or even better, have tooltips. This makes the game feel lazy to me. Character creation was very opaque too, you don't get to assign individual points - it doesn't even tell you the number of spell slots as you select the spells for your class, just click blindly until you run out! I guess if what you liked about old games was their lack of intuitiveness then this is for you but if like me you prefer Might & Magic, The Bards Tale and Legend of Grimrock then just skip it.
