What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
PROS: As said before, it's a Strategy RPG game where you get 6 Characters to play with.
I also like the stylish, rather wacky 3D graphics, and it looks remarkably good for a 2001 game, on my Win 7 machine, with forced 16Q antialiasing and anisotropic filtering.
It's stat-heavy, character development is exciting and fun, there is A LOT of combat and A LOT of loot, progression feels right and well paced, character voices are a blast, music is pretty atmospheric and nice, the world is a bit empty but looks decent for an oldschool cRPG and the 90's developer humour is a joy to behold (do check the manual as well for some quick laughs).
The audio is great: A pleasant soundtrack, lots of decent to good voice-acting, and what's truly unique is the different voice-sets for the PCs, which gives them a lot of character.
At first, It can be a bit daunting for players used to newer RPGs, but everything is very well streamlined when it comes to the User Interface and inventories.
The steady trickle of new spells and ever-increasing character abilities means that one must change up their tactics fairly often to thrive, and the enemies certainly do not lag behind on the power creep.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
