The right formula to keep you hooked. Reminded me of Age of Wonders II, but not as challenging.

This game only registered as a brief blip on Gamespot, but any fan of this style of gameplay is in for a treat. Quite simply, the formula works: a large world to explore with ever more challenging enemies to beat requiring ever more experience, spells, levels, etc. This game actually has battles you will not be able to win at first because you are not powerful enough yet. This adds incentive, as any time you get your ass kicked you will want revenge. The desire to explore an interesting new world is innate, and thus addictive. There are certain things that must be accomplished before being allowed to proceed to the next area, thus the incentive is there to do so.

Graphics: Not ground-breaking, but not bad either. Colorful and generally pleasing.
Sound effects: These are surprisingly good considering that...
Sountrack: Sucks! You will have their endlessly repetitive and uninspiring tracks muted or at super low volume in no time.
Gameplay: Not exactly intuitive, but can be picked up quickly. No real instructions to speak of, so you will have to figure some things out on your own, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Difficulty: Well paced in terms of enemies. Good mixture of might and magic.
Value: Definitely worth the money. This is a big game, and defeating all the enemies you will need to level up and advance will take a long time.
