Okay full disclosure, I got this game for free a few days ago when GOG was offering it for free. This is easily the best free game I've ever played. If I had spent $25 (the current asking price) I would have been very happy. This was a very well done game. The battle system takes a bit of getting use too as it's a little different than your average CRPG but it's still pretty great. There's a lot of nuance to the itemization system. If I had one complaint it would be that you either don't get enough loot to truly explore the system or you don't get enough control over the item creation to do so. I would have liked to see the ability to really play with the itemization more, but I often times felt like new items, even legendary items were simply underwhelming and that since I didn't get enough other items to take advantage of the oddities in the itemization system, most of the items went unused. It also seems like you hit a wall at some point where items stop progressing. You get the odd upgrade now and then but it's almost like the color or rarity of the item has little to do with it's actual stats. You could get a tier 5 green that easily outclasses a tier 5 legendary for instance. I liked the sense of choice, but I'd have also liked to see the choices play more of a role. That said, the game was still fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone that is a fan real, offline CRPGs that don't have some tacky, tacked on multiplayer component that restricts your gameplay to maintain some stupid e-sport class balance bullcrap. Kudo's to Event Horizon, Having only just learned about your company I very much look forward to Dark Envoy and will very likely snag it as soon as it comes out. One final thought: Unlike other CRPGs that have modding support with the ability to modify in-game flags and stuff via a console, this title does not have that ability. I hope Dark Envoy includes some mod support and the lost art of "cheats" or whatever you want to call em.
