mqstout: The game seriously needs UI improvements. Mechanics are opaque. I have a status effect and no idea what it is or does. There's no explanation of what stats do. If you like black boxes like ancient NES games that you are wandering about cluelessly, go ahead. But this game has no modern sensibilities in that regard. :(
So far (albeit just a couple battles)... there's nothing to it. No powers, just move and attack. Positioning matters. Where are abilities? I don't really see anything but passives in the skill tree. Move and attack (fixed order). Use a potion if you have one.
It's... boring. Very pretty. Very empty.
A couple more battles later, nothing different. You can repeat battles for random chests, not for crafting gatherables. Crafting doesn't appear to have anything interesting listed. The "gear" (gems) are all things like +4 attack, or -2 attack/+6 defense.
I'm to the completion of the first "main quest" segment, have four characters, have done a handful of battles and I think I should stop. Nothing's changed, I don't see anything changing. And the story isn't good enough to overpower that. What a shame, because there are some great art assets here.
The game has great art assets. But no "gameplay". Sadly, I'm going to recommend skipping it.
Yes i know... i read reviews of the game , and the game has many negative reviews.
i had it on my Steam wishlist, after i played the demo which looked okay, and the demo could be played without having steam to run which is the main reason i wishlisted the game.
I didn't know it would also be available on GOG, because the game might be too '' niche '' :D,i don't mind niche games, i have a few of them, but i never expected it to arrive on GOG aswell :D
Anyway i won't buy it, until its on sale at 75% of( or more) :D
mqstout: GOG needs to stop releasing so many games I want to play... Grr!
I understand, i have a huge backlog on GOG and Steam, even have a lot of drm free old games ( gamersgate) i never played , just because i have too many of them :D
90% of every new game that arrived here and on Steam are not what i want, ( many are shooters FPP and or 3D which is a big no for me,the few good old games that have arived are way too old: some have 4 o 8 color graphics, i am old... but not ancient :D .
Maybe its because i started with VGA and SVGA * better resolution, on my first p100 ( which is a long time ago) and dont play eye hurting pixel soup graphics games.
Anyway, some euros may be saved because of lack of games i really like and would buy instanly, then again, if lack of real good old games keeps up, i wil have many PC 's all over my place.
