Really glad I stuck with this one. I really liked Greedfall so I thought I'd try its predecessor. The graphics, worldbuilding, art style and story are fairly good imo. Lots of quests, factions and key choices that matter down the line. I think the combat is fairly decent as well. I hated it at first, but like many eurojank RPGs the protagonist starts out very underpowered and then becomes a god towards the end. You start out as a weakling and there is a particularly obnoxious boss in the very beginning which seems like poor design, but soon after that the difficulty goes way down once you get some levels, perks, armor, upgrades, companions etc and the combat starts to actually be fun.

My only real gripe with this game is the mediocre to unintentionally hilariously bad voice acting. Unfortunatley that comes with the territory in low budget games and given the super low price (I got it for 1.69USD) it is understandable. Bless the armory mans heart. I don't think the actor was even trying and we love him for that. 6/10
