The graphics are ok, considering it’s an older title, and the music is also ok.

Gameplay

back to the game, enclave certainly is somewhat dated, old school fantasy action game with ver limited rpg elements. the graphics were a joy to behold back in the day and still they hold up pretty well. the gameplay though is not that impressive. hit detection as mentioned by many is just utter crap. especially with melee weapons whole thing becomes a big clunky mashing game. there is a parry mechanic but i was never able got around to it. and this hit detection thing makes game really difficult. so what we have is not a challenging game because of it's design but rather because of the bad mechanics which is the worst kind of challenge. my advice is to use ranged characters in medium and hard difficulties and melee character in easy difficulty.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game’s low, atmospheric soundtrack complements these visuals perfectly, creating a tone that balances dark fantasy with heroism.

While this was an X-Box game, there doesn't seem to be controller support.
