Enclave Reviews

HELL YEAH

Beautiful classic they should remake it

Unless you played this as a kid and are excited to have the chance to revisit it, and get it at a deep discount, don't bother. Some of the textures are shockingly good looking for a game this old, and the voice acting is pretty good but besides those areas it felt like the only time effort was applied was in creating some of the female character's butts. I know, that's a weird thing to point out, but there's so little that was done right with this game. The combat is awful, even for the time period in which it was released, enemy AI is horrendous, level design sucks, and the RPG aspect of it is so shallow that even calling it an RPG feels insulting. You collect gold in the level which you can then use to buy a handful of different weapons, shields, or singular armour pieces, for use in later missions. Health potions are removed between missions, so you have to either go in without any or buy more for some arbitrary reason. There are multiple pre-made characters to chose from, and no levelling or character customization at all. No world to explore either, just a series of mercifully short missions to try and complete until you finish the campaign. Why is this so awful compared to some of Starbreeze's later work? Because their corporate overlords demanded that the MMO they were working on be changed to a singleplayer only experience and pushed onto the market as soon as possible, way before it was ready. Enclave could've been something with lasting appeal, like World of Warcraft, but instead it's a poop stain on the underwear of an underrated company.

Beautiful scenarios with impressive atmospheres and beautiful music, very enjoyable gameplay, stroryline very captivating.
