Kingdoms Of Alumar: Reckoning

<< < (3/3)

I've not played it myself, but I've spent a fair amount of time watching my housemate play it. It didn't seem all that generic to me. At least, the enemies in it don't seem to be exactly the same as the monsters in every other RPG ever. They seemed to be much more based on British folklore, which seemed pretty cool to me.

Alex C:
It's not really the monsters so much as it is absolutely everything else. Highlights from my internal monologue while playing the demo:

"Oh, hello voice actor from Icewind Dale! We waking up from the dead today? This'll be the fifth or sixth time I've done that as the beginning of an RPG/Adventure game, but okay. Just don't tell me that we're going to have to kill rats. Oh, yes, there they are, rat killing time, whatever. Now, where were we? Oh, you've written the re-spawns into the game. That's cool, I guess. When does our short mentor die so we can carrry on solo?"

ackblom12:
Exactly what Alex said. The art style is fine, but it's Fantasy 101 everywhere else that counts.

TheEvilDog:
Playing it at the moment. Decent enough, old school in some elements, nice contemporary twist with others. Fun enough.
