This game is a sad attempt that feels 1/2 finished. The world, though pretty at times, is lifeless. It gets boring very quickly running through a world where NPCs just stand there - the important ones differentiated by exclamation marks over their heads. The lack of mouse look really grates. The combat system is poor - for me largely because the damage is fixed. - no random variances. if you are thinking of buying or downloading the game - just don't life is to short.

This concept has been around since the Sega Genesis, in King's Bounty in 1991 (from Jon Caneghem that would later make Heroes of Might and Magic series). That being said if you want to fix the random crashes. This only works on random crashes I got with a runtime error, where once it crashed it never lets you launch the game again unless you re-installed. I'm running it on a Vista 64-bit system. 1) patch your game to the latest version 2) In the game options menu disable Object and Unit Shadows. 3) If that doesnt work then disable reflections and grass too. You'l get a game that's uglier, but at least it won't crash on you. *READ THIS FOR INFO TO FIX CRASH*

It is a mixture of both. I played it like an adventure running the ground, and like a turn strategy game recruiting troops and for the combats. That is a new game-concept. The combat is the best of the game, any unit occupies a single hexagon, and it shows all of them over the battlefield in their exact quantity. The graphics are the beast, more like than an RPG game style, with high quality textures of detailed armors and beautiful naked women (without any nude patches), I was really astonished. For the stability, this site have oldest screens probably of a beta version. I have the European released version and it is absolutely stable. It loads instantly and never crashes.

I say it in surprise cause was on a w8 and see aproach, but it was far better than i expected, not like a lot of crappy games around nowadays, really well made, and as far as strategy games go the graphics are very good :D I really enjoyed this game!!

Will definitely play thru again. There is at least one English walkthrough that has a number of helpful hints. Got tremendous enjoyment from this game – a couple of crashes but nothing major.

Can’t get past that point. Was only playing it til 2 worlds finished downloading anyway" I am having the same problem. After the battle with the demon, I go through 3 lines of dialogue, then it kicks out to the desktop. It does it with this version and the JPN ripped version. I also tested on another computer and it did it there too (I copied the savegames over). The only thing I can think is that my char has some item that makes it crash, or that there is some copy protection that kicks in at that point. “MorningStar

Civilization IV is brilliant .. but a favourite is probably Disciples II this game .. nothing moves in it in passing; if you like turn based games ..

Mapping system is a disaster ... In game tweaks are so limited that you can hardly tweak anything. Not recommended if one is into gameplay. There is only suffering here.

In the begining. Then it becomes apparant that melee damage from you is pointless and a waste of skill points as magic does alot more. Also you end up with so much hp half way through the game that it becomes nearly impossible for anything to kill you. So the only thing you have to fear is the annoyance of running back to get fresh units... untill you get that revive spell. As a result the final battle is a joke, I polished off the main demon lord without taking a single loss after revives. The game could have used some more quests, options and open endedness. It would have been nice to have more than 4 equipment slots. The main battle suits were also far too simple to obtain past the first 2-3. All that said the first continent was alot of fun to fight on asside from that buggy epic pyramid quest. The ninja armor you get on the 3rd continent is very fun also. If you play make sure to save often as the game freezes from time to time and it is possible to warp onto parts of the map you cant get back out of. Its a fun game… In the begining.
