An RPG set in a magical version of Steam punk is honestly a bit of a stretch for me. I would have much preferred straight up Steam Punk, but then again I do not own a software company so I'll make do with the wonderful works that are given to me. This game smacks of Fallout, but in a good way. The story is well put together and the characters make sense. I was compelled to keep playing for hours on end and enjoyed every minute of it. Sure the graphics are low end, but this sort of game is hardly about graphics. Acting was decent enough so all in all I really enjoyed this game.
