    I bought it for ~0,30 euro on Internetz. I miss those 0,30 euro, because it's one of the worst games I ever played. When I had read what is this game, I thought it will be a good game. Well, everything here is wrong. Starting with hideous cut-scenes, ending with terribly slow and way to boring gameplay. A "cristals+magic" idea is nice, but performance is awful, just awful. Well, at least a box is looking nice on my shelf... 1 point for that, because I really liked this box. Expand

    This is a great tactical Role Playing Game similar to Rage of Mages and Knight Shift. This game is more clever in level design than most current RGPs games and the story is fairly strong as well utilising a comic book style. On the down side there were performance issues released in version 1.0 which is now fixed and some of the art stlye isn't consistent making the game look a little unprofessional. Expand

  1. When you are attempting to implement two gameplay styles then you'd better be careful that there are no distractions or irritations to the player, or the tentative grip a game has to build upon will be lost. Stranger is still just clutching out with a gauntleted hand.
  2. Stranger looks remarkably terrible and plays worse. The game is just hideously optimised...Stranger takes the fantasy RTS genre backwards before breaking it. [Apr 2006, p.81]
  3. A role playing game that poses as a strategy by using just the numbers. This means that your adventuring party can have as many as twenty or thirty members, and you have to take care of every soldier's needs and wants, from armor to magic crystals to retirement plans. The game's ugly looks combined with the unintelligible interface and bad AI make the whole thing marginally playable in the best moments and huge pain in the posterior in the worst. [Apr 2008]
