Overall, it is not a masterpiece, but still a solid game. Combat reminds of Dragon Age, you assign a queue of actions and can use active pause. I don't hate this system, but never really liked it. It is just okay. The story is okay too. You even have some choices, but can't really change anything in the story. There will be some spoilers ahead, you can stop reading if you want. The last couple of chapters felt too rushed. In the first three chapters you have your camp from which you can upgrade your gear, go on side missions for extra gear, fight your camp buddies in the friendly duels, chat with them, or skip everything, your choice. It felt a bit like an RPG. But then you get nothing of the above. They give you access to the upgrade gear screen at the start of the chapter and then you are on the murdering spree untill the end of chapter, no side missions or dialogue. And this is a shame, because in chapter 4 we meet the Sisters of Laments, basically sexy Shaolin nuns, who lived on the secluded island, learned martial arts, trained dogs and didn't hurt anyone. And the player is forced to butcher them and their dogs. You can't sneak past them or reason with them, they don't have any dialogue. I actually tried to skip the fights with them and managed to pass the first two groups, but after that if you try to sneak, you reach an invisible wall and your character says that he cant go any further untill he murders everyone. These girls are just a pretty filler to make the game a bit longer. And the choice to kill or not to kill the emperor is just a joke. I reloaded and played both variants, and if you choose not to kill, your character says "It is too easy", a couple of inquisitors show up and make it a bit difficult and then you kill the emperor anyway. Overall, the moral of the story is gray. The orcs are claiming they have honor, yet there are too many traitors, and the ones who are not traitors do some really bad atrocities, like the one with the sisters, or the one where you burn down a temple full of inquisitor disciples. And I guess it is not a bad thing, because it is touched me enough to finish the game and write this whole paragraph.

A fun, quirky little AA game. I had fun in it, went in expecting just another RPG with the same ol' hack n' slash combat that so many others utilize but was pleasantly surprised to discover it has tactical combat instead, the kind where you can issue up to 5 orders at a time and wait for them to be carried out one by one. I recommend a stroll through this one for you RPG fans, just remember to check the date this game came out so you know what to expect. Here's the template: ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Mehh, nothing special ☑ Good ☐ Very good ☐ So fun! ---{ Story }--- ☐ No story ☐ Not great ☐ Some lore ☑ Average ☐ Good ☐ Captivating ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ MS-DOS ☐ Bad ☑ Decent ☐ Good ☐ Beautiful ☐ Masterpiece ☐ You forget what reality is ---{ Audio }--- ☐ I wish I was deaf ☐ Bad ☐ Not too bad ☐ Decent ☑ Good ☐ Very good ☐ Eargasm ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Moderate ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Unforgiving ☐ Difficult ☐ Souls-like ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Only if you care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Average grind level ☐ A bit grindy sometimes ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ Depends on you ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ Infested and broken ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Price }--- ☐ You could also just burn your money ☐ Not recommended ☐ If you have a spare coin ☑ If it's on sale ☐ Worth the price ☐ It's free! ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Everyone ☐ Kids mainly ☑ Teens and older ☐ Adults only ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☑ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

It's a Spiders game so you kinda know what your getting into when you start this one. Really dated gameplay and environments, but it tells a really cool narrative that doesn't take itself too seriously. Short but sweet 6/10.

A great rendition and addition to the Styx saga Highly enjoyable, a few bugs here and there but it is more than tolerable. Bit too much talkie, talkie for me, as I am not interested the story that much. That is personal preference though.
