Great twisted story (for older players), an iffy gameplay (hack & slash), makes a fairly good game.

The story is very twisted and morbid which is awesome for certain players that love that kind of story. (Like me ^.^) You follow the story of Caim and his dragon on a lovely adventure meeting up with an old man that's pretty much worthless, a lover boy gone bad, a child who never ages, and a sick woman who likes eating children... sounds fun, no? Like I said, morbidly twisted, for ages 16+ at the least to grasp the story.

Sadly this story is hampered by poor camera views and hack and slash. Although I do not mind hack and slash some players do. There is a variety of weapons to acquire and spells for each of those weapons that can be leveled up through combat.

Despite the hack and slash and camera angles it's a good game play. The cinematics are awesome and the dragons cynical nature is very funny to listen to too... Multiple endings are a plus for replay value and collecting all the swords will keep you playing... at least it kept me playing ^.^
