The game begins fairly simply and the difficulty escalates properly so that new RPG players can understand how it works, and seasoned players can enjoy a simple game. Unlike most new RPG's, this game does not make you upgrade thousand of stats. It's fairly simple, Health, Strength (Melee), Mana, Strength (Magic). There is however an abundance of physical and magical skills you can buy or upgrade to, and also a multitude of weapons of 4 different styles (Swords, Spears, Hammers and Axes and Moonblades). The storyline is pretty straightforward, the bosses are as hard as they should be and there are many sidequests to keep one busy.
   
   All in all, I'd certainly recommend it to an RPG newcomer, or to a WoW dropout.… Expand

   I think this game is good... I don't usually play RPG's except for diablo, but this is way different! It has nice graphics and an I think this game is good...

But install the latest patch, because it tweaks it for the better! Overall a must-try (9/10)… Expand

I prefer more realistic games where you can make your own character but is a fun story, not a masterpiece, a game and a story to enjoy.… Expand

   A reasonable action roleplay game that doesn't make any pretenses about what it is.

   Plenty to do and sights to see around Venice in the high middle ages (well, an alternate Earth really).
   
   It's not open world and doesn't pretend to be. Combat is relatively simple though it is obvious the controls have been ported from a console version.
   
   Good for a few days of relatively mindless fun.… Expand

   Ive tried this game.The story and many ideas are interesting.The problem is how these ideas are implemented.For example the armor system.YouIve tried this game.The story and many ideas are interesting.The problem is how these ideas are implemented.For example the armor system.You find an armor, youve to bring it to the right person and this armor is reworked so it fits you.Interesting idea but in the end, its another way to a merchant oder blacksmith for no gaines.Youll get the armor, the stats remain the same, no option for you to influence the process.Another thing is the help the game offers you in the form of a raven.You can summon and follow it to your next objective.But there are flaws in it.One flaw is, that the raven flys to you next objective on a direct route.Many times i couldnt follow the raven because there was no way(at the time) to use this street or gate.A gate for example opens up later in the game.Until the gate is opnened the raven will always fly through the gate and you cant follow him.Useless.Another problem is the raven flys sometimes through objects.Youll lose sight of him, suckz too.A major complain from me is the general pace of the game.EVERYTHING is so slow.Even the fighting feels unnatural slow.Many skills need sooooo much time before they are executed.This makes many skills useless.A really nice idea is th shodow world.You activate this skill and you change into a world were you can see the dead, talk to them(if youve learned the right skills) and take things from them.In this mode you can see hidden doors.
   You can use them to find treasures or hidden rooms.The problem is the cooldown of the skill.Here too, its sooooooo slow.All in all there is too much time in the game were nothing happens.You run 80 times through empty floors.This is bad today, this was bad in 2008, sorry.Visuals are ok, you can play this game today if you dont mind the textures.The voiceacting is not that great.Solid game i think that i uninstalled because of the time were nothing happens.Im not interested in these things.… Expand

   Eh ben dis donc... en voici un sacré "numéro"... de soit-disant "jeu de rôle" et de soit-disant jeu vidéo ?!... bien sûr, je suppose qu'à laEh ben dis donc... en voici un sacré "numéro"... de soit-disant "jeu de rôle" et de soit-disant jeu vidéo ?!... bien sûr, je suppose qu'à la base, ça part sans doute de bonnes intentions mais même en tant qu'indé, ça ne tient pas une seconde... à moins de prétendre à la sélection surpeuplée et très encombrée des étrons indés, bien entendu ! (et poil au cul).
   
   Ici, on est plutôt dans le simple A ou le double B, B moins je suppose, à moins que ce ne soit plutôt un D quelque chose ou un F+, qui sait ? mais en continuant comme ça et en jouant à ce machin, on va finir tout l'alphabet... jusqu'au triple Z ! le label "Daube Certifiée" n'est pas loin non plus de la validation... complète !
   
   Par où commencer au juste... un peu par tout je crois... et partout. Non, voyons plutôt le positif, car il faut positiver, c'est Carrefour qui l'a dit ! et à ce sujet, il est étonnant de trouver une VF d'assez belle qualité qui tranche terriblement avec le reste de ce jeu complètement raté ! c'est donner de la confiture à un goret qui s'est roulé dans la merde pendant des heures, en somme !
   
   Le reste est naze, comme le combat, mélange d'un Fable de mes deux et d'un jeu Spiders (le développeur français qui développe de la merde); les graphismes ont 10 ans de retard ; la direction artistique est perdue, sans direction et accablée de mauvais goût ; l'espèce d'histoire à la godille a été boulottée par un stagiaire en position latérale de sécurité...
   
   L'interface est gobalement mal faite et fort mal présentée, l'héroïne a une trop grosse tête (difforme) tout comme l'ensemble des personnages sortis d'un mauvais dessin animé (cf le mauvais goût récurrent, pour ne pas dire permanent de ce pseudo-jeu !).
   
   Et dans ce fatras de fantasy à la petite semaine, on est censé se rendre à... Venise ?! Venise la Sérénissime ? non, on ne veut pas voir ça (l'étendue des dégâts) et on en a assez vu et assez joué comme ça. Dégage, maintenant : la poubelle est là-bas.… Expand
