Pros

• Decent mapping (I feel like the mapping in the first installation was actually better)
  
• You can import your previous save (items, stat points, etc.)

Cons

• Passability errors galore - you'll often find yourself stuck in a wall or barrel.
  
• Spelling/grammatical errors in almost every line of dialogue. (I shouldn't be surprised because it was the same with the first)
  
• So much junky filler - it honestly feels like the developer lost inspiration and just threw together a bunch of quests that feel like they have no actual impact on the story or world.
  
• The Blood Swamp area is horribly bugged - the people I was supposed to escort would get stuck in/behind rocks and I couldn't progress the quest.

I mean, you can try to pick it up when it's on sale - but I'd say this one needed a lot more polish before it was ready to be released commercially.

The second episode lives up to the good points of it's predecessor. While the story is not as dark and intriguing as Death Merchants, it is still entertaining. The strenght of Son of Slaves lies in it's combat and new mechanics. The gritty atmosphere is still there, the humor is still there, all in all, while a bit different than Death Merchants, it's another great episode. Looking foward for the third.

• Morlan's shorts:

There may be an ok story here with some ok jokes and ok graphics, yep, just ok.. but the game is badly programmed and has random crashes in, well, random places; the pacing/delay/"loading screens" are too slow for this type of game but the top-of-the-crop that breaks it for me is the collision detection. Battles are in real time and the character gets stuck everywhere there's an obstacle, collides with the enemy and sticks to them and it becomes a chore of repeating a level to finish it because you keep getting stuck to the enemy and die. In particular the first "Troll" cave where you have to run between trolls/skeletetons/whatever and even if you have space to go through them, once you touch an enemy you're basically glued to them! Tried that 4-5 times..NO! Wasting time because of bad programming is a BIG NO! This alone, made me r-quit it.

Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence!

Thorne - Son of Slaves is the sequel game Thorne - Death Merchants.
This Action-RPG from Aldorlea Games and Lone Wolf Games.
I recommend this game.
Beautiful drawing and animation.
Interesting story.
Atmospheric musical accompaniment.
A lot of accessories to choose.
Dialogues are exciting and include a portion of humor.
In Thorne - Son of Slaves all the dynamic, no preludes, you immediately thrown into the thick of things.
Perhaps this genre seems to be outdated, but if you do not find fault with this game, and compared with similar games in the genre - I to recommend!

This is the 2nd game of the "Thorne" series, and it does not disappoint.
Featuring much of the same mechanics and style of the first one, the gameplay takes only a short time to learn with simple imstructions to guide you along. You might have to pay close attention to what you are doing for a bit, but it will get much easier as you go, and the payoff is worth it.

Like the first one, you really need to explore everywhere to pick up items you will need ---- they could be anywhere, om the ground, from NPCs, or in more obvious treasure chests. And there is a great amount of equipment to find.

The story is interesting.
The music is good, and supports the action.
The characters are believable.
Graphics and animation are nicely done.

Recommended for sure, especially if you get it at the sale price going on now.

Just finished the second part of this game. Lagging is still a small problem esp. when waiting for game to load from a scene eg when you leave an area. Overall game is great. Love the ongoing story and the intoduction of new characters. As usual a player must take note of all hints given in the game to be able to achieve all quests etc. There are many secret quests hidden in the game as well as some puzzles to work out. If you enjoyed the first game, then this game is for you.

Thorne – Son of Slaves (Ep.2) is a Action, Adventure game from Lone Wolf Games. Thorne is anxious to leave the Duchy of Calida. It is known as a peaceful place in Rowen, where order prevails.
For those with an eye for reality, that is simply not true.
The Crow has to finish one last contract for the Duke before he can finally leave.
Such contract will put him in a dangerou road with no turning back.

I am 32 years old.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.

Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.

With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.

After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.

Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.

Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.

Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.

Thank you.

Interesting game with lovely visuals and nice sound.
Sadly, i didn't play Ep.1, so i can't say much about plot, but i enjoyed quests.

This is episode 2 of the Thorne saga. I don't know if there will be more volumes after. Anyway, the combat is still interesting (and somewhat tricky to get the hang of). The story is still about cleaning up old scores, and getting paid for it. That said, the Crow again finds himself dragged into a bigger tale than he expected.

Fun game, and well worth the price. (Especially if you get it on discount. I think I got both chapters for about $1.)
