Storyline
Featured review
Medieval and horrific beautiful
This games leaves me flabbergasted throughout the complete play-through.
I've played this game out several times. As the Knight, as the Barbarian and as the Amazon. I didn't completely played it out as the Dwarf yet, but maybe in the future.
This can be only described as a hack em-up game. Swords, axes, war-hammers, are the most used weapons. The only shooting weapon is a bow, which is needed to solve some of the puzzles.
Throughout the game you earn experience by fighting, and reaching a certain level of points gives you the ability to use a weapon in a more distinctive and destructive way. This also means that the controls for a certain fighting-technique with a certain weapon can be hard to master, but once you master it, the reward is very satisfying.
The place has many weapons and sceneries. From simple swords to a blood-sword, a simple Axe to a poisoned Axe etc.. According the character some weapons are better suited to you. Swords and shields for the Knight, double handed swords for the Barbarian, axes for the Dwarf, and spears for the Amazon. Sceneries vary from dungeons, castles, snowy landscapes, to desert hills. Incredible breathtaking landscapes, even for a game of this age. The CGI for the characters is quite good and in a whole they are quite intelligent. They work together to defeat you, and will take cover for your attacks. There are plenty characters here, from the simple orc to the intelligent end-bosses, who can be quite difficult to beat.
When you have almost killed one of your adversaries, the last hit and where it is will decide what limb will come off, being it, the head, the legs, the arm or his whole rump. The blood will squirt out in a realistic way. Skeletons or zombies will more or less fall in to dust. The realism of the kills is exaggerating good. There are also some puzzles to solve. Not extremely difficult, but nonetheless you have to solve them to be able to get the sword for finishing the game.
The music is fantastically good, and is made to make the scenes more tensioned. When the music swells or changes pace, you just know something is going to happen. All in all, this is a great game, which leaves you with the taste to play it over again after you have finished it. I would give this game 11 points if it was possible, that's how good I think it is.
