What players think

The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
46% of themes are praise9% are divided45% are caveats
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The combat didn't age all that well, but it's fairly fun when you get the hang of it, it's kind of like a distant cousin to Enclave, or at least the melee characters in that game.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
When it was on sale you were able to get it for 2,50€ which is absolutely fair for the 10 hours of sp fun it provides (not counting the multiplayer - if you like multiplayer games like Half-Life Deathmatch, with vikings)
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The game's graphics and animations aren't what this game is good for.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Controls can be remapped and are highly responsive, and the only exceptions seemed to be hard-coded in the gameplay (such as the slow reaction time for raising the shield).
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting is impressive for a 2000 game, and the sound effects of combat are satisfying.
