Fun game I played while growing up and definitely still a great game to play. You can kinda see the age but not anything to bad. The crashing is a problem but it can be worked around pretty easily. Honestly a great game to play that isn't really talked about much.

One of the best Dark Fantasy Kick-Simulators out there.

I want to like this game,but it has to many issues the biggest being that atleast on Steam without you going to edit files yourself the game crashes too much.Now it is a fairly easy fix I will admit,but I just dislike being sold a game that almost insta-crashes on the 2nd level.

Now on for the gameplay issues like the awful floaty melee combat and the support character you have to help livee,but has basically a sliver of a health bar.And then we also have very meh bow combat as well.Can't say anything about the magic as I didn't use it.

The graphics hold up better then others at its time and has some half life esque items that you can use in combat like hitting a support beam to drop objects on enemies and a fun kicking system.

Now it would be a great game if only it didn't have imo one of the worst feeling melee combat systems that I have used.

It doesn't work on my machine! It looks hilarious though

So GOATed but MP is dead

Fantastic combat and immaculate vibes.

Dark Messiah was meant to be Arx Fatalis 2 so logically I played that prior to this and clearly they learned their lesson about janky gameplay and basically pumped out a game with flawless combat that will have you running around like bugs bunny trying to cause a 15 clown car pile up on a high way. However I will say the story is rather boring and the game seems to crash every hour almost on the dot which was kinda creepy almost like they wanted me to stop playing.

Another thing I can praise is that the game does let you build up a fairly unique character with a few things you can spec into but largely boiling down to melee or mage, fantastic for battle mage fans and miserable if you're a stealth fan. While there are options to improve stealth this won't be an option in larger fights and boss fights will not give you the option due to the giant health pools.

In conclusion good game if you like sketch comedy.

The combat is fun. The story is alright, but it is enough to keep you going and though overall would recommend, but on sale.

its a tad janky but still fun as heck

Older action RPG, was worth the playthrough.
