I gave this game a chance. Roughly 20 hrs in now, LOVE IT!

It's not the best game by any means, but it def starts picking up once you get a little ways into Arrgan.


Depending on how much time you get to game, there are far too many other good games out at the moment! Smile


May the NFOrce be with you always.

I've had a really hard time playing games lately. Lose interest really quickly, not sure why or how this one sucked me in, but i'm really happy it did. I grabbed castlevania as well. That's probably next. Trying not to burn them all otherwise i will just start each one and never finish any.

felt the same way mate. Thats why I like short games, UNLESS they really are epic. Few games have kept me interested for 10 hours + but Castlevania did Smile

Hope its the same case with Vegas, but gonna complete Fable 3 first.

@deelix So Fable 3 is that epic game that will keep you interested? Laughing

Just finished took me about 24 hrs.

Not the best game but it met my dungeon crawler needs. It seems like the armor and weapon upgrades were somewhat limited. There didn't seem to be a lot of reward for exploring everywhere possible. Everything was just given to you eventually anyways.

The story was ok, at points i felt pretty involved with it however for the most part i was just laughing. I would compare the quality / laughs to Two Worlds. The combat is ok, but can be a bit sluggish with multiple foes on the screen. Especially towards the end of game.

I liked how you could actually have a hybrid character and how crafting and alchemy is part of each class. Although, it's poorly implemented.

It's probably a 6/10 game. Which is really weird to say because I did truly enjoy this game. It just lacks polish and story. There is a lot of really great elements but not enough to justify a higher rating.

(sorry if this is garbled, i'm at work and sick while writing this)

Sorry to dig up an old thread but is this better than Two Worlds II? I grabbed this and have played it for a couple of hours. I didnt think it was anything special but it seemed ok. Is it worth grabbing Two Worlds II?

I haven't tried two worlds II Sad

I really enjoyed the first one, but haven't really had the time or ambition to start the second one.

If Metacritic is anything is anything to go by Two worlds seems to be the better game.

*chuckles* There is absolutely no contest, my man, Two Worlds 2 dicks Arcania in every orifice. Arcania is an insult to its name, whereas Two Tworlds 2 is actually VERY fun and with a ludicrously huge world to explore. Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend the patently superior version; get the PC one instead. Moddable UI so it's not taking up 92% of the screen, much better performance and higher IQ.
