Balrum - Review @ CRPG Revisiting

Dark Savant spotted this Balrum review from the CRPG Revisting blog:

I had very fun with this game and felt hooked from the beginning. I love the slow progress, the open world and the tough opponents. When you succeed you really feel enjoyment. The game is easy to play. The world is unexplored and black and it is easy to sink several hours into it at once. It reminds me a little about Eschalon and/or the Avadon games but this game is unique in its own. I am looking forward to a sequel but would like them balance the classes more, allowing for better items to be sold and improving the story a bit.
