Buggy Beyond Belief - Could have been good, but lack of designer support puts this game in the recycle bin.

While the premise is good, natural enemies being forced to work together ala "Enemy Mine", the execution was a failure. At the heart of the problem ins Laran Studio's apparent lack of concern for players' needs.

Questions and complaints to Laran studios were shuffled off to one of the many (mostly useless) forums, where playwers were given opportunities to vent, but little in the way of help.


Numerous players reported the same bug, where the characters did the steps which lead up to a "summoning" all of the requisite items were collected, and the game refuses to acknowledge bag contents or to let the player continue. Because gameplay is, in many ways, linear, it is impossible to finish. I tried playing the game twice, on two sepearate machine, and the result was the same. At that point game progression merely stopped.

By the amount of venting regarding this particular bug, one would assume that Laran would create a patch to either overcome, or bypass, the problem. One would assume wrong.

If you enjoy this kind of old school dungeon crawl, go back to Diablo-it works.
