The narrator might be boring but the gameplay is perfectly fine!
The graphics are AMAZING! The detail is wow! I play for hours at a time. The only couple of things I think could be better are during battle. The biggest problem is the camera angle. It sometimes shows how much damage you have done, it sometimes gets stuck behind a branch.. if the camera angle could let you see the whole battle without zooming in to one of your players, it would've been much better. Or at least a feed that shows the damage that has been done.
I like the upgrades, even though I believe there should be an explanation for what each does. I once upgraded to a mage I didn't like, but learned not to go that route again. Same happens with the spells.. it has a catchy little phrase for each spell, but it doesn't really explain what it does unless it's something self explanatory.
I have to say that if you never played the dungeons and dragons or might and magic type of game, you shouldn't start from this one.
Sorry to disappoint, but I loved this game, despite the wrongs in it. ;)
