A hidden gem.

If it was developed by Bioware or Bethesda and released as it is, i'd probably give it a 7/10. I'm a few bonus point to the unfamiliar developer for the attempt to do a great RPG game, an attempt that almost succeeds.

The story - 6/10. It's nothing more than ok, pretty simple.

The graphics - 5/10. Take you back to 2006.

The gameplay - 8/10. You're playing a sexy young woman who goes out to save the world. The fighting is pretty good and require some sort of skills and reflexes (reminded me of Risen, but a lot easier).
The items selection is pretty limited, you only have a few suits, and a few types of weapons (of each kind - swords, hammers and spears, plus the undead blade which called a moonblade). Only the Moonblade can be upgraded, nothing more.
The skills are pretty interesting, but the skill bar contains only 11 slots, so you'll have to choose which ones are the most important to you.
The overall design is pretty great. This game has the biggest open world city I have ever seen (bigger than Oblivion's imperial city), but most of the game also takes place in that city (and beneath it).
The game sometimes seems a bit naive, and that's a shame (two dirty rogues see a sexy young woman in a dress in a dark alley and all the wanna do is cut her throat?? really??).
Overall, this game definitely worth a shot, but do not expect something as polished as ME2.
