This game is a good game but there need to be some changes. For example the conversations should have been richer. Also they don't change and lead the story...

The graphics and movement diagrams are good and the world you play is satisfying. Some compare The two worlds II and this one. I think this one is better by all the ways...

The most disappointing thing about Arcania is the time you play the game; it finishes too soon. I expected much more so disappointed...

I played Risen before this game. That game was a prototype of Arcania that both are created by the same company. But the scenario in Risen was more sophisticated. And the scenario had some alternatives. But Arcania doesn't have that...

Finally this game is playable and I liked it. So I recommend it to gamers who likes this kind...
