A massive open world, in medieval Germany, with historically accurate towns, names, geography, economy, and so on.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 201 sampled reviews raised it
It has incredible depth, open ended story play, deep character and level progression, a huge map to explore, a great retro soundtrack... but in the state that it is in here, AVOID THIS GAME ON STEAM.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
28 of 201 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system is fun, though it can be a little glitchy at times.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 201 sampled reviews raised it
The game needs to be rebooted because it offers everything a fan of rpg and squad games wants: character customization, a unique and detailed worldscape, freedom of action, character progression, exploration, loot, combat....
