What is there to say? The graphics are dated but still nice. The story is good even though it is not terribly original. It has a primarily keyboard interface that is a bit different, but is pretty effective once you get used to it (and great for people who end up playing from a laptop actually in their lap). The game isn't completely linear, allowing for some choices that impact gameplay. The enemies are not hit point blocks: the tactics you use will differ with the type of enemy and your choice of weapons. Though to be fair, there aren't too many variations.
You may read in the original reviews for the game that it is buggy: that is definitely a past issue. I ran into only one serious bug and it is one that you are warned against in the readme file(No, I did not read it until after I hit the bug. Yes, I am just that smart :P ).
If you like CRPGs along the lines of Arx Fatalis or Ultima Underworld you will like this one.
