“This game is a gem. So much build variety! As you can see from my playtime it is a 10 out of 10 CRPG”

“I dont get these Mixed reviews. Sure the game is hard as ♥♥♥♥ and at the start I died to rats like a ♥♥♥♥♥ but man once you push through theres tons of different builds and strategic depth in this gem.”

“Amazing game... True sequel to Fallout 1&2... Real RPG game... Good story... P.S. Nisam izasao iz minusa, ali ima i kum karticu... ;-)”
“[h1] PROS: [/h1] - Deep and engaging combat with a huge amount of build variety. - Great writing & story. Not a rip-off of Fallout, instead resembling Stalker but still charting it's own path. - Challenging enough even…”
“A great isometric rpg that for no good reason I had low expectations for. It both looked interesting and not to me simultaneously. The skills are very deep and you will want to decide at the start what weapons you want…”

“Good combat does not excuse how bad the rest of this game is. it shows that this game was made by one very stubborn person because there are design choices in this game that, you just know in the pit of your heart that…”
“Amazing rpg with sound mechanics, unique visual style, and exceptionally interesting lore, but the dev took it a bit too far with some more "difficult" areas making them annoying instead.”
“SUMMARY: I went into this to scratch my Fallout 1 & 2 itch, but I got something entirely different and worth it. This is an isometric RPG that takes you down a path you don't expect, in an interesting world. PROS: +…”

“Very awesome game. If you like combat ala Fallout (2) but more complex and intensified character building this is a game for you. I played a heavy-hammer-stom-everything lady build until now, i will come back as a…”
“one of my favorite games of all time, the build diversity is so deep I keep coming back for another playthrough”

“The game is just a slog to play through, and with no way to respec your character, you can waste dozens of hours in a character with no way to fix mistakes. Very very little information is ever given to the player. In…”

“a spiritual successor to fallout 1 & 2. and now even beginner friendly thanks to difficulty settings. edit: i just come to realize in the ~50h i played so far not a single quest broke, which might be a first for an rpg like that. plus it runs well on an i5-8500 (in 1440p no…”
