   Much underrated! At first glance the game seems not as polished as other games, but I have to admit that it is very addictive. There are very few games which I have finished, but this one has a great mix of humour and playability which kept me playing to the end. If you do not expect a realtime 1st person RPG you will have a good time for about 10-20 hours.… Expand

   I really enjoy this sort of game so I had very high hopes for the title. However... I found it very disappointing. The camera and mouse control is wonky and it's very distracting - there's a lag after scrolling which means after you stop scrolling, the screen continues moving. I know it sounds like a petty thing to commence a review with, but It got increasingly irritating until I stopped mainly because I constantly felt like throwing my mouse. Onto the game itself. I enjoyed the humour and story, but the combat itself is very mealy and slow. There's almost no variation between characters or combats. You just continually click on enemies, trundle over and hit them. The camera control makes you feel like you're struggling with the map rather than romping through it in exploration mode. Also the leaps into battle are very sudden and felt more like a constant interruption rather than hazard. For some reason you play in a very zoomed-in view and there seems to be minimal actual tactics. The graphics are okay for a budget title, except for art direction for female characters which has a totally different style to the male characters which contributes to a patched-together feel. It would have been my preference for the female characters to look a little womanly rather than like four-year-old girls in bikinis (yes, I know it's a joke line - but they look like toddlers, not maidens). Overall - admirable effort, but a miss.… Expand

   Overall I was disappointed with this game. It started out well enough, meeting my expectations: An incredibly emo hero, depressed because he was defeated by a mushroom during his final military test, and is now hell bent on committing suicide. But he is "saved" by a semidivine avatar, who is overly optimistic and unashamedly full of himself. And thus starts this satire of the RPG genre in general. The basic concept is great, and the humor is biting, sarcastic, and entirely puerile. However, aside from that, the game falls short. You will be tortured clicking through dialog box after dialog box to get to the meat of the matter, and some of the humor very early becomes overused. It was funny to save the maiden the first time, who needs your help before the very last strip of her skimpy clothing is viciously torn away by the attacking baddies, and it is moderately entertaining the second time, but by the third time you get the feeling that you have already seen all of the humor the game can provide. The combat in the game is boring and offers few tactical options. The characters all feel too similar to each other - they're either close combat melee types or archer types - and there's so many in your party that handling them all starts to feel more like a chore. Ultimately, the 'tactics' part of the game feels uninspired and, ultimately, boring. I found it difficult to see what was going on in some of the darker areas of the game. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it was very annoying. Overall, the concept of the game is fantastic, but the execution is poor. Prepare to be disappointed.… Expand
