Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
Neverend is a fantasy RPG game in the style of Final Fantasy that takes you to a world of fairies and knights. You will control a fallen fairy Agavaen and guide her on her mysterious path. Gradually, you will uncover the game-world and besides improving your skills you will be able also to create your own spells and influence the fairy's persuasion. It is the persuasion that determines whether Agavean ends up as a good or evil fairy and which determines the storyline branching. These branches lead, of course, to different game endings. [Mayhem]

The game reminded me of a graphic animated adventure, had arena-style, turn-based combat, and an interesting exploration system.

The graphics hold the game back as most PC RPG's are better looking.

If you can get past the technical issues, Neverend is a very good entry in the RPG/Adventure genre that's best suited for those who play games to experience new worlds, not new technology.

Neverend could have been a decent game, graphics aside, since graphics aren’t that important in a RPG. The story (which in this case isn’t bad at all) and the game mechanics are more important, but the latter are destroyed by bugs, too many random encounters, lack of a mini-map and an odd magic system.

Easily the worst game I have played all year.

Championing pre-rendered backgrounds in this day and age immediately makes Neverend feel dated, and the gameplay does little to lift that 'samey' feeling. Despite its decent character models and combat system, there are plenty of other RPGs far more worthy of your time.

A cheap and soulless victim of its own lofty ambition. [Oct 2006, p.91]

Game Chronicles
Boring, difficult (due to poor design) and repetitive.

Unless you're looking for some laughs or a trip down memory lane, stay far, far away from this one.

No-frills tedium. [Holiday 2006, p.88]

NeverEnd may not be a computer virus, but that’s about the best thing that can be said about it. Avoid it at any price.

The game compass is left in a flat spin, giving Neverend zero direction, feeble magnetism, and a dreary sense of purpose. You're after an unnamed treasure, alongside an uncaring cast, equipped with only a comatose sense of adventure. Even considering its gaming-on-a-budget price point, purchasing this title will only give you a never ending spasm of Buyer's Remorse.

The game is an unmitigated mess of technical issues and features sewn together like Frankenstein, and about as appealing as the sum of its miss-matched parts.
