The graphics are beyond horrible, the controls and animations are laughable, (your characters upper body and legs remain stationary during combat and the only thing you see moving is the characters arm from the elbow down, like a stick man), there's no music, no battle sounds, no swords clanging or explosions from spells, The most pathetic attempt at making a pc game ever attempted. The most pathetic attempt at making a pc game ever attempted. If you like playing a Cleric or Fighter type character, this game is worth maybe $10 to $15. The shadow ruins (enough said) Most areas are empty, and gives you the feeling of being alone, in what is supposed to be a war time period.
The characters you fight are in most cases more interesting to look at than you character ever will. Clothing in the game is basically just different colors pasted on a body shape without regard to functionality. Spells are rare and cost too much to acquire, they take entirely to long to regenerate, even with the arcane or celestial regenerate skill over 10. Spells require that your respective sphere of magic equals the level you want to cast.

This game feels a lot like a bargain title, and I'm scratching my head wondering why I bought such a broken mess for $45+. Sound is decent and uses some positional cues, but when I zoomed out only a few feet from my character, I couldn't hear any combat or character sounds. There is a nice shine to your armor and weapons, and this sheen can also be seen on your body and clothing. The game has decent graphics and sound, but there are problems with those, too. Combat feels like a mouse-button mash (though you can block attacks, they still seem to hit you occasionally, when you feel you're blocking correctly), and the magic casting (pick a spell, cast until you use up the points, then hurry and switch back to a weapon) is a horrid system. While you can SEE the character customization buttons on the screen, none of them work. Combat feels like a mouse-button mash (though you can block attacks, they still seem to hit you occasionally, when you feel you're blocking correctly), and the magic casting (pick a spell, cast until you use up the points, then hurry I get the feeling that this game was released entirely too soon.
I get the feeling that this game was released entirely too soon. Other offenders are bad voice acting, dreadful dialogue content, annoyingly repetitive merchants, object by object sales, lack of labels on spells and items, et cætera, et cætera. There is also a revival function, which is useless since you can just reload a game. The result is so unbalanced that rats are dangerous while an enormous ogre is too easy to kill. The opponents are completely stupid, but quantity makes them deadly anyway. Hit and run tactics only add new enemies into the fray, because random encounters occur every other step. What's worse, combat is non-stop and inevitable. One more ? The mini-map is clear and seems very fine, until you see that it's overloaded (it even keeps track of destroyed crates.) And then you discover that there is no general map, just when you are totally lost. Another example ? Character creation offers a large choice of races, of which however only two allow you to play a female. By the way, the Load is outside the menu, so you have to quit the game first. The identification system also seems promising, but actually functions with a quit/load routine. For example, the chest opening system seems interesting at first, until you realise that absolutely any single one of them is trapped, and that opening them triggers the apparition of random monsters. The This is a bad game that strangely has a few things going for it, mostly good intentions that were turned into terrible implementations.
