The game's standout feature is undoubtedly its phenomenal soundtrack and immersive world that feels like the cover of a metal album come to life.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The plot of the game is a simple one but does a good job pulling the player in.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
At first glance I thought this kind of game would be best enjoyed as a more linear and direct experience because where I thought the game shined were in the fire sequences and the combat situations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals hold up surprisingly well despite the game's age, with distinctive art direction compensating for dated graphics technology.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Cool premise, with great world and character design , but feels half baked with its shallow hack and slash and RTS systems. third act is very rushed. would love to see the devs comeback to do a remaster to fix these flaws.
