Llyranor Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Just played the demo, hadn't really heard of the game before. Pretty fun. Seems to be a pretty awesome implemention of turn-based party-based combat. Reminded me a lot of DnD, but I guess that's because it uses the Open Gaming License 3.5. Full game worth it? Buy? Yes/no.

Starwars Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 *Definitely* worth buying IMO, my RPG of the year last year together with Dragon Age.

Morgoth Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 That's some impressive next-gen gfx the game has there. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyranor Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Alright, I took the plunge and bought this crap a few days back. Very good fun. Tried out Ironman mode, but after getting wiped out a few times within the first few battles, decided maybe I wasn't ready yet. I'm now a few hours in, after a few dungeons, and it's been pretty much a blast. The tactical turn-based combat is very well-done and accessible (I can pretty much get info on any specific rule via hyperlinking very quickly). Pacing is pretty good; combat goes by very fast/smoothly. Still a good challenge, but I'd say things are a little easier once I gained access to some mid-level area effect spells, though. I'd say the combat's been more enjoyable and involving than most of the shovelware CRPG crap that's been available lately. Pretty glad I bought this. If you miss the good old days of turn-based tactical battles, try the demo.
