The game was boring. I was hoping it would be similar to Baldur's Gate, and while the interface and overall design resembled it, the experience fell short. The story wasn't as captivating, and I didn't feel connected to or drawn in by the characters.

♥♥♥♥ this game

One day later edit:

I wrote that previous review after dying on a tough fight due to pathfinding issues twice in a row and was "Big Mad".

I'm not sure about recommending this game, it isn't bad, but it's mostly just a combat focused dungeon crawler. If you've played Baldur's Gate 2 and really wanted less roleplaying and plot, and more fighting than this game is for you. I don't think it's bad, but it's got a lot of frustrating jank such as the aforementioned pathfinding issues. If you're not willing to save scum it's extremely difficult, especially early on when a couple of unlucky roles can immediately send your tankiest character to an early death. The difficulty definitely levels off after a while, but as someone who beat BG2 and is familiar with the genre, but is not an expert I found it pretty hard.

Overall, I don't think this game is bad, I just wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're getting with it. For me, I think I miss the more exploratory parts of other RPG's and would prefer to play a dedicated tactics game for this type of combat. For retro RPG's I'd recommend checking out Baldur's Gate 2, or Planescape Torment, or Fallout 2 if you're looking for something more story focused. I'm leaving it at a thumbs up, because I did have fun with it and I'm pretty sure I got it for like $5 at one point and I got my money's worth

good sh!t!
