First of all, this game has all kinds of bugs, errors, and compatibility issues, it took me 2 days and a NO-CD hack to even get the game to start... They used a crappy dual layer dvd copy protection scheme which failed to do anything other than force me to use a crack to even play the game. The trouble shooting and support for this game are also terrible.

Initially once the game started I was impressed. However that soon faded as I became frustrated with the poorly designed user interface and character movement/targeting controls.

This is NOT a WASD game, if it were this review would be at least a 3 star. Its disappointing because had they used a different mode for controlling the character the game would have been fantastic. Graphically it is impressive at times, mostly early in the game. You can tell that they really stretched for content towards the end.

The gear system is ridiculous. There are dozens of worthless statistics that appear on 90% of the magic items, making them worthless. The 'Bosses' don't even drop magic items... WTF kind of RPG game has bosses with no loot... But luckily gear is so worthless that you can literally play the entire game as a caster completely naked. And if you want to play melee good luck, the targeting system is horrible.

Overall this game had massive potential, but once again the developers failed big time.

Good game but needs new drivers

The game is very good the video drivers needs work. To release a game when so many people has problems its confusing and anoying but there is no standar for that sort of thing yet.

Great game in the Diablo / Titan Quest genre

I played this game for weeks and never got tired of it. I will re-play it after I finish Titan Quest and expansion, and then Oblivion expansion, and then... well, I WILL play it again. I had no problems that I can remember running it or playing in on XP. Would highly recommend this game.

Awesome

I have only played the demo, and i have to say, wow, they sure did somthing right. Fast gamesply, not as fast as Diablo 2, but with the graphics that sort of speed would push alot of systems pretty hard. The quest system is fun and not too mundane like some games quests. The map system is handy, you can zoom to settlment locations.
This game is definitely on my to buy list.

A quality RPG, it is not...

This is a pretty horrible RPG and I've played most of them over the years to know what to look for and not to look for. While I had played the demo and liked some of the features (i.e., side-by-side weapon and armor comparison with what you have on your character versus what you have in inventory, etc), the retail version doesn't play much better than an Alpha or a cruddy Beta build. Graphically, the game takes on a cell-shading style atmosphere which may look interesting in a screenshot, but doesn't translate to smooth game play. The camera has a low ceiling with which you can scroll out too and scrolling in doesn't provide detail as much as it obscures detail. The mouse controls are clumsy (i.e., when you click the response time is sluggish as if your character has the IQ of a rock), your character doesn't respond well to way points and tends to charge off even when you've told him which enemy to attack, the path finding is apparently MIA as instructing your character to walk from one side of the screen to the other requires mini-hop clicks to get him there, and the list goes on. I really did try to play this game for a bit considering what I had spent on it, but in the end, I uninstalled it and was left fairly disappointed. Additionally, I notice some other users had an issue with the copy protection - I can concur that this was an issue before I patched the game, but after the patch was installed it fixed the launching issues for me. Did it fix the gameplay to make it enjoyable? No, I'm afraid not.

Bottom line - looking for a more enjoyable and less frustrating RPG to play that's a recent release? Check out Titan Quest.

Something to pass the time away.

This game is pretty much another 'Hack-n-Slasher' in the same tradition
as the "Gizillion" of others that most of you who have played games like
"Diablo","Dungeon Siege" and most recently "Titan's Quest".
Although there are a few features that set this one apart from the others,
it's pretty much the same formula dressed up in a different package.
Now in no way am i downing this title because I am enjoying it. I purchased this one to sort of break up the monotunous (leveling up) that i
am doing in "Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion"-(Yes,i am one of those who haven't
beat this one yet due to the sometimes boredom of the game, and believe me
I'm a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan from way back, but 'Oblivion' sometimes makes me yawn).
Back to this one though.
Graphics are well put together and so far i have not had any problems in
that department. The story although not all together original,does have a
way of keeping your interest, but the constant re-adjusting of the camera
angle that you'll find yourself doing in battle can be very tedious and
fustrating. The balance of the game can be unnerving for beginners though
because even set on the (Normal) setting you'll find yourself dying way too often than you would like especially when you're battling not only
Hordes of enemies, but also the camera as well.
Not a bad game..but not a great one either,it has it's moments though.
I recommend this one to those who are looking for some time to kill
between other titles that you are playing and need a break to keep it fresh. 3 Stars and 'Suprisingly' a higher "FUN FACTOR" than (Oblivion),
yet in no way as intresting,addictive or as engaging as the "Icewind Dale"
"Baldur's Gate" or even closer to this type of gameplay- The "Sacred" series.

Fun Game, but not spectacular

I'll keep this short.
-I found the game highly entertaining.
-I didn't experience any major bugs that I can remember.
-You're choices between Tech and Nature effect the look of Silverfall.
-Cell-shading type of graphics were well done.
-My only real complaint is that it was too easy. I was a combat spec'd Tech Troll, and Even late in the game I was one-shotting things. I was also leveling up every 15 minutes or so. At first it was cool, but after awhile it took away the excitement you normally feel when you ding in other RPGs. Basically, I would say this is a good game for the casual RPG fan, or anyone that just wants to sit down for an hour and bash things.

A great Diablo style game

This is an incredibly good Diablo style hack and slash dungeon crawl. It's mouse driven, if you like the "WASD" console style interface it's probably not for you but if you like Diablo, LOD, Sacred or Dungeon Siege you'll love this. It runs smoothly on my PCI FX-6200 card. Gorgeous original graphics, original maps and areas and nicely done quests. The skill system is a little unusual with a nature vs technology theme. The navigation system is a little quirky, takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it it works well. The nicest feature of this game is that you can just jump in and play, the game configures itself with no hassles. The maps are huge and gorgeous. Highly recommended.

DANGER-DANGER unstable game- Save your money!

Watch out! This Russian-French produced game has the most unstable copy protection scheme I've ever seen. The original dual-layer DVD disc has the Tages protection encoded in the disc. The game loads up about once every 30 tries because the copy protection is unable to detect that the original retail DVD is in your drive. You will be frustrated and then angry!
The few times it has loaded the game is okay- a little quirky but okay.
I bought it because the free download demo worked fine and it was fairly fun- even with the software bugs and crashes.
I cannot recommend the retail version- the copy protection is a serious and infuriating slap at the gaming public.
