I'll start by saying that this game is underrated. Soundacting is quite bad, but its a good game underneath.

I'll start by saying that this game is underrated. Really underrated if i might be so bold.

Sure the story is pretty generic "save-the-world" affair, voice-over quality is quite horrific in places and the performance isnt very optimized but its a fun game despite all that.

Lets start by the technical. Even on my pc which i consider pretty fast rig (19"lcd -> 512mb 8800GT, 4gb ram, nforce750i, C2D E8500, WinXP SP3) it gets a bit choppy in places. And to actually start the game u have to delete a file in game folder, otherwise it just gives an error about physx. All i can say is that i was not expecting such game to tax my system to point where using AA was making game unplayable. The game launcher has ability to set wallpapers, and there's a few good wallpapers, one with a rather pretty lady ;)

Presentation: 3/10


Graphics are pretty decent. There are lush trees, grass, shiny water and the lot. Shaders are pretty well done. U notice small details as reflective metallic strips on barrels, shine and glow of torches, ground dust and so on. Although the level design is rather uninspired, its never a bother.

Graphics: 8/10


Audio is mixed bag. While i really like music and most sound effects, dialog is mediocre at best.
But atleast they did put dialog in it rather than let you read bunch of text.. so thats commendable.

Audio: 6/10


Gameplay is fun, fast and quite hectic. Story isnt much to keep u interested but it never really bothers you. What it lacks in motivation, it more than makes up with sheer amount of loot you encounter. Which is a motivation by itself. Its basically diablo 2 in modern coat.

Gameplay 7/10


The interface is something quite interesting. Namely the cursor has gotten special treatment, as it acts as your familiar (a little bright fairy). She will illuminate the surroundings, click on things and give u feedback when u encounter a higher level gear. She also interacts a lot such as complaining if u pick up too much low-end gear, if your inventory gets full, warn u when you're low on health and so on. Its a really neat touch. Otherwise, the loading is fast and saving is faster. The main hotkey system is bit awkard, as u cant assign direct keys for spells. U can only cast spells/actions with 3 main mouse buttons. So each 'hotkey' just switches which mouse button will do what. I wish it had a normal hotbar with direct access to 1-9 keys.

Interface: 7/10


Overall this game is fun. Its low budget, but they really put lot of effort into making it. And that should be commended. Too bad the quality control did a bad job and shipped game with a non-starter bug and some horrible performance. It could've been a real gem.

Overall 7/10
