Dark Savant
Keeper of the Watch
Is printed manual included with recent UK release from Excalibur Publishing?
(Non-game worst translation goes to Asian engrishers…)
Yeah, this is DEFINITELY a game that is stuck in the '90's (as expected from russkies) the camera control is AWFUL, the engine is AWFUL, the translation is AWFUL, however I'm hoping to manage to slog through to the end.I gave AFtD a try, and didn't like it. Besides all the things that have already been pointed out, I also really hated the camera, and how there was no fog of war. You can scroll the map and see every creature, item, etc. without moving.
It just makes me wonder how the russkies crap out shit like this while CD Projekt is able to make a wonderful game like The Witcher, and another Polish company whose name I've forgotten make a decent ARPG like Two Worlds… sad…
Yep, Q and E zoom in and out, and I discovered quite by accident that A, W, S, and D which pan the display also can rotated the camera when pressed in conjunction with the CONTROL key. Nice of them to bother documenting this, NOT!Does the game have a zoom function? Some of the screenies showing a high overhead view have put me off, but then other screenies seem to have a much closer, OTS view?
Ninja, Magerette did a review on this one awhile ago.
Let's just say when she was playing the game I remembering her PMs wishing the game would just end. I believe she was actually a little more conservative in her review of the game.
I bought it before her review came out and regretted it. I like the steampunk additions, but the gameplay was horrible. I don't remember what was so horrible about it because I only played a few days and quit. There are better games out there to waste my time on. If you want a steampunk like game it's just better to play Arcanum again.
Looks like this has a walkthrough with that quest:

What is your overall impression of the game? I thought it looked really great, but the reviews were so-so.
