This doesn't in any way answer your questions, but I just thought you should know it's episodic. Or at least it would be if there was ever more than that one episode. The lack of adequate conclusion is something that might put you off.

Such are the perils of episodic gaming. l think only Telltale enjoy any success with that model. Virtually everything else has been left unfinished with no hope of a conclusion.

I was champing at the bit to get this game 'til I saw that it was 'episodic', and kinda old. I don't think we'll be seeing any continuing episodes. Besides, apparently it was barely mediocre.

I played part of this but I really don't recommend it. This is just my opinion obviously butI don't think the fact that it is episodic is the problem it’s just that it isn't very good. There is very little in the way of a storyline and the controls are constantly annoying, basically it’s mediocre in every category, has a lot of bugs and there are much better hack & slash rpgs out there.

What are you talking about? HL2 Episode 3 is sure to be released in just a few... in just, uhm, a few... Damn.

Hey I believe Penumbra was considered Episodic and they did wrap that one up.

As for hazen. Bought it some time ago. installed it, played it a bit and never regretted it was episodic since I found myself thinking "I've got other hack'n'slash games like Torchlight and Titan Quest and Dungeon Siege 2. Why am I wasting time playing this?

Really I might've missed something important, but the game was for me just a tedious bore with bad controls and very little in the way of playability.

I just bought it and Avencast off the GG Sale - I certainly don't think you can go wrong for the price - I spend almost that much for coffee every day.

A. it is any good

B. If it uses point & click or WASD

Definitely Mouse Driven - Point-N-Click

C. Its length

Not sure Yet

Thanks in advance

Well... yeah. Kind of. But the first two games were pretty complete in and of themselves. Enough for me to not think of them as episodes at least. Then there is the fact that there were supposed to be three of them. Instead we got two games and an expansion which for the most part played like a random collection of physics puzzles with some hint of plot tacked on at the end.

So yeah the series was successful enough as it is. But it's not really representative of a successful attempt at episodic gaming as far as I'm concerned. Not least of all because the concluding part was unsatisfactory in regard to actually providing a proper ending.

well everybody has answered every question but if it is Point & Click or WASD. That is actually the most important question as I typically dislike point & click games.
Posted March 14, 2011
Sorry I missed that part of your post. It is Point and Click.
