Darklands - Retrospective Review

[Couchpotato]

Escapist Magazine has a new Retrospective Review of the GOG vesion of Darklands.

Darklands drops players into a fantasy tinged version of medieval Germany where devils are real and power can be found in prayer just as much as it is in arms. Complex and huge almost to the point of being overwhelming, it's an exemplar of what makes old CRPGs worth playing.

More information.

This is a definitely a game that will remain in the past for me. I have VERY fond memories of it, but it is far too clunky to get back into. I love the artwork, music, the overland maps, the murderous combat difficulty, and being raped by cultists.
