Nethergate: Resurrection

I played this game when I was young, loved it then, loved it now. I learned lots about the Romans and Celts, and about various myths and legends. There's lots of fun bits of humour throughout. I normally don't like this style of game (RPG, partially text-based), but I really love Nethergate. There's just something about it! Even now. :)

If you love Spiderweb Software's games, you will love this. If not, than maybe not so much. It will feel much like the others in the franchise, only the stories seem to differ and even then... That is not to knock it however, as it is like saying DOOM played exactly like DOOM 2, but if you have played any number of these RPGs, you will know exactly what I am talking about. That being said, it does have tons of content. Lots of places to explore, items to find, use and sell and monsters to vanquish on your two distinct journeys, one being of the Roman's point of view and the other of the Celts. I still find myself enjoying the game, even though it looks and feels like the others. Although apparently I do have a sound issue. There is a constant static with the atmospheric music. Nothing I can do about it it seems. The people on the actual official website are quite nice though and do like to help. But they either do not hear the same static I do or they are just tone deaf to it, meaning they think that is how it is suppose to sound and I just can not accept that, not even for an older game like this. Also be aware this is a one shot game. Although as I said there are two point of views, this is all there is. There is not a part two or three, etc. like most other Spiderweb Software games have. So keep that it mine. Still it will take you a long time to finish. I do recommend it. But again the sound problem is my main gripe.
