Title: Amazing Crafting System for both gears and spells.

Evil Islands is one of the few games that I like playing again after a few years because of the freedom it gives me while creating my own play style. You play as Zak who wakes up in ruins and doesn’t remember who he is. With his metal (bronze) dagger and unusual clothes the people of the island declares him as the chosen one. So now it is your duty to protect them from dangers. However, not everything is as it seems.

Instead of writing it like pros and cons, I will explain some major details about the game so you can decide on your own.
* Fully Voiced. Some people found Zak’s voice irritating but I found it cute.

* The game is very easy to learn.

* You can only access your inventory while you are on map view. That means you can’t make changes while adventuring since you cant access your inventory or character screen.

* There is no leveling system. You gain health and stamina automatically as you gain experience. Then you distribute these experience points freely on abilities and skills in the map menu.

* You can attack your enemy’s legs, arms, body or head. Hitting head is harder but does 3x damage. If you manage to cripple enemy’s arm then it will attack slower. If you hit it’s leg then it will move slower and it cant run away.

* Back-stabs have never been that powerful. In the beginning, the game forces you to be stealthy and fight in melee. Most monsters are more powerful than you, especially when they gang up on you in numbers so you watch, predict their movements and backstab one of them without provoking others. This is especially powerful when you combine backstab with headshot which does 15x damage in the beginning. Normal backstab does 3x damage but you start the game with backstab ability which makes this 5x. You can further increase this ability to 10X which than backstab headshot would do 30X damage. But be warned, some monsters are immune to backstab.

* Crafting system is easy yet powerful. It lets you create any armor, weapon or spell you want. Of course if you have the ingredients and skill.

* Crafting weapons and armor is simple. All you need to do is place the blueprint and then materials in the shop’s crafting section. It will give you the information of the final object. You can even add a spell into the object while creating it. For this, the spell must have an insert rune and both the energy and complexity must be lower than the final object. This way you can create weapons that weaken enemy or an armor that heals you repeatedly. You can even create wands that does not need a spell created with insert rune.

* Crafting Spells is a little more complex. You need keystones just like you needed blueprints for items. A single keystone is enough to create a spell, you wont need additional materials. But you can enhance the spell by adding runes to it. You can increase its range, duration, effect and target type. Also, you need to be able to cast the spell in order to craft it where highest numbers in your party is taken into consideration.

I did complete the game, and I didn't encounter any crashes before the final battle. Whether one can actually win said battle though is a different matter :/

Evil Islands is basically Rage of Mages III. So when Rage of Mages I and II were released here, this subforum was renamed.
I guess i have to check out those two games aswell..
