Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny

This game is a port of a lackluster remake of a classic german PC RPG. The difficulty is on par with the classic game, the mechanics are pretty damn complicated, so if you're going to play it - read a FAQ or watch a walkthrough. Unfortunately even at the time of the original remake release the graphics were pretty ugly. They moved on from pretty 2D art to ugly and blocky 3D. Also the VO is ... well... bad. I still have a place in my heart for this game as Realms of Arkania 2 back in the day was my first RPG that i've ever played, which started my life-long love for the genre.

I've been wanting to play this game again for over 20 years. It might not be a new and up to date seizure fest like a lot of modern games are, but compared to the original, this is a welcome improvement. I absolutely love it, so far. If you aren't old enough to have played the original pc version, this game might make you grump out like a baby. If you are old enough to have played the original, then you might enjoy this as much as I am. This is honestly a dream come true, for me.

Not Bad At All

Very slow combat

Huh? Why? Wizardry 7 is so much better. So unintuative it is almost impossible to leave the 1st area. Awful UI
