The world of Arx is wrought with turmoil, brought to the brink of destruction by a violent war. The sun has disappeared from overhead to shroud the world in eternal darkness forcing communities to begin inhabiting the underground mines. But as food and drink becomes scarce, the wars become even more violent as each race struggles for survival.
You are plugged into this world of terror and must use bravery and cunning to uncover the long hidden secret of Arx. As your epic quest unfolds you will explore ancient temples, bustling cities and abandoned mines, unearth legendary artefacts and face terrifying foes.
Arx Fatalis features:
Lots of quest and sub-quest to complete; innovative gesture-casting system with 50 powerful spells based upon 20 runes; wield over 20 crushingly powerful weapons; no two games are ever the same: storyline and events change according to your actions; hundreds of characters to befriend or murder and massive underground world to discover and explore.
An innovative gesture-based spellcasting system
A massive underground world to explore
The choices you make strongly influence the story, leading to one of 4 endings
This Game is a classic rpg that was hugely influential on the genre, but the genre has moved on. And while many of the things this game does are creative, you would probably have a better time playing something newer, especially if you haven't played many older games.
Mediocre "immersive sim" (read: Ultima Underworld clone - what's more, the game was originally intended to be a third entry in the series). The world is EXTREMELY tiny and the main character CAN'T RUN to mask this (yes you can acquire a "speed" magic spell about 1/3 into the game but it simply makes Am Sugar walk faster). As an example, the "goblin kingdom" consists of about 20 goblins in total. Yes you can tediously bake apple pies but this is more of a novelty than a necessity as you can simply go in people's houses and eat their food in front of them with no repercussions. You can also sell a blacksmith his own tools. Not very "immersive". The much lauded magic system is better in theory than practice and casting spells with more than 2 runes in combat requires constant kiting or running (walking) away. Yes, you can "pre-cast" up to 3 spells but that's a very small number and offers little tactical depth and rather invites "metagaming" (to wit: savescumming). It would have been nice if the number of spells you can "memorize" increased with level or points put in magic, like in, say, Baldur's Gate, but that would probably make the already overpowered magic even more overpowered. Melee combat boils down to "smacking" and "charging to smack harder". Shields simply reduce damage and you can't use them to block. Bows are worthless as arrows are limited. Enemies drop little XP and don't respawn and most leveling is done by way of quests. Obtuse puzzles and a general lack of direction practically require the use of a walkthrough. To sum it up, you're better off skipping Arx Fatalis and going straight to the great Dark Messiah of M&M or the excellent Dishonored series (by the same developer) both of which abandoned superficial RPG trappings of Ultima and are simply fun action games with progression elements.
What is there to say about this game? I could start out by saying it is AWESOME! But that wouldn't help much would it? So let me start out with some pros and cons ok?
Pros:
Easy to start and play right away
Looks and sounds great
Large undergound to explore
Many items
Enemies are smart they use tactics to take you down
Plenty of replay value to keep you coming back
Cons:
To many items
All characters are able to die (so don't try and kill any impotent ones)
Enemies are tough to kill (like really tough)
Confusing to know what to do and how to do it
And there you have some of the pros and cons of the game though I have not said much about it. Any RPG fan should get this game I highly recommend it.
