[b]Difficulty:[/b] Battlemage (Hard)
[b]Gameplay:[/b]
• The core concept of first-person spell-casting sounds great on paper but lacks depth.
• Combat is flashy but repetitive, with enemy encounters feeling like a chore rather than a challenge.
• Running has little head bobbing and dodging mechanics feels static, making movement feel stiff.
• Crafting system is complex but not particularly rewarding and the interface is clunky.
• No cooldown\mana system means unlimited casting, but fights still feel sluggish due to painfully slow casting animations.
• Linear level design with little incentive to explore.
• Tutorial is slow and invasive and hinders the start of the game.
[b]Story\Dialogue:[/b]
• The story is generic and uninspired, revolving around vengeance but with little emotional investment.
• Dialogue is forgettable and redundant, filled with cliche action-fantasy writing.
• Voice acting is inconsistent, mostly wooden.
• Cutscenes feel disconnected from the gameplay and don’t add much to the experience.
• Bad Audio Directioning; NPC's can't be heard unless the player is facing them.
[b]Graphics\Music:[/b]
• Visually, the game looks decent for its time, with flashy spell effects and detailed environments.
• Character models and animations are stiff.
[b]Before You Play:[/b]
• If you’re looking for a FPS with a decent magic system, consider playing 'Dark Messiah of Might and Magic' or 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'.
• If you don't mind a top down perspective, consider 'Magicka'.
