Realms of Arkania: Star Trail

Macht vieles besser als der Vorgänger, fasst die Stimmung des Orginals gut ein, könnte trotzdem noch etwas feinschliff vertragen, aber alles in allem gutes Spiel.

Again, Don't Have the Time to Take a Chance Objective Review 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great game-play. 4 of 5 great story average game-play. 3 of 5 average story great game-play. 2 of 5 give it a go only if it's you're favourite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do, 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Realms of Arcania: Star Trail score is 2 of 5. Subjective Review The Realms of Arcania series are some very difficult RPG's. That's not a problem for me, as I have completed some really hard RPG's (Eye of the Beholder series to name one). So I began this with gusto, then after my initial try, and my experience with the first game in this series, decided to read some reviews before I put a LOT of time into it. It is my experience, that anytime a review states you're going to need a clue book, or go online for help, STAY AWAY! I tried the original games of the series, but due to bugs, had to quit. This is a remake but I'm kind of tired of reading "the game keeps its original charm" when that has to do with the same old clunky mechanics and at times, same old bugs that cause the game to crash over and over as if that is "charming" in some way. Not to mention you may not be able to complete a game after the many hours of slogging due to hitting a dead end, such as, not having the right characters in your party, or not having the right attributes, or not having the right weapons/armour. I commend the developers who remade this as such was a labor of love so for that a much deserved thumbs up, but for newbies to the genre, try the Eye of the Beholder series. It'll scratch that old style RPG itch and you won't need to read a clue book or go online in order to complete it. Plus, no matter your characters or armour/weapons, you can make it to victory, it just may be a bit harder with certain characters/weapons/armour. That, in my opinion, is how all RPG's should be.
