This is one of the few situations where I think that this is probably a good game, just not a good game for me.

It is intentionally aping the style of an older PC RPGs and to that end, I think it hits the mark. However the most frustrating thing for me is the combat difficulty seem *ALL* over the place. I was having fun bopping goblins and then I got ABSOLUTELY destroyed by a goblin war chief near by. I also think this game has a really simple game play loop. Again, in the style of the games that it's taking from. It just doesn't hold my interest enough to keep me playing.

Due to my life being more complicated these days, it is very rare when I play a game through to the end and equally infrequent I actually create a review.. I would highly recommend this as a great casual game with lots of content and a pretty decent story. The ToG version is also highly recommended, its a pretty big boost since you collect power during various events (which I always converted to attributes) and not just when you find an orb. Another rarity, I do expect to play this through a second time in a few years; its a great game IMO.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This was played on ZorinOS and it works, but you should F5 save often because you may find yourself restarting it 3 or 4 times during a day of playing it. Trust me, the vast majority of the time you'll see performance indicators letting you know a problem is coming. Guessing the Linux version has a memory leak or something along those lines.
