Torn Tales

[h1]A learning experience is one of those things that say, “You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.” [i]~Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt[/i][/h1] Ah, the cheap-ass [b]ARPG[/b]s... Looks like I found myself in yet another disaster. Because yes, you should not think [b]Dungeon Siege[/b] here. You shouldn't think [b]KYN[/b] either. Think [b]R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War[/b]. Or even [b]Iesabel[/b] (before you'll ask, [i]no[/i], you [i]should not[/i] play those games, no matter what). [b]Torn Tales[/b] is exactly like that. Even worse, actually. Because seriously, this game is dumb. Like... [i]really[/i] dumb. There are no towns, no [b]NPC[/b]s, no proper quests to do, no stores... heck, there is no even proper inventory / equipment screen! You just run forward through some corridor-like areas, kill stuff and hope not to die. Which may be a pretty tricky thing to achieve since, well, there's no balance here either, while enemies begin to attack you all at once. Have you seen [b]Walmart[/b] during the [b]Black Friday[/b] sale? Well, guess what? You're the one who's gonna be on sale in this game. Start running. All that is not the biggest problem with the game, though. I mea…

You cannot progress past the first part of Chapter 4. The same bug that was introduced in the Rebound edition also made its way into this edition. You simply cannot get into a certain area, cannot complete the mission, and cannot progress the story. Other than that, it's a very basic action RPG. There's no towns. There's only basic quests. There's no way to use gear that you find, but won't use (you can't sell gear, or dismantle it for crafting etc). The graphics are basic. The characters are interesting enough, and they all felt different. The skill system is simple, but adding Runes modifies the original skill in neat ways. The story was basic, but I still enjoyed it. Before I discovered that the game-breaking bug is in this version of the game, It was a decently enjoyable game. If you get this game in a bundle, it's worth playing the first three chapters - as long as you're fine with playing a very simple action RPG.

I'm giving this a no, but not for lack of potential. The game does have some good points but some areas are extremely underdeveloped and others are just broken. Elite healing enemies for example will regenerate 300k+ damage in 2 seconds flat. There is nothing to do with all the 'loot' you collect, you're limited to 2 rings and a necklace per character- could have had it where you break extra gear for exp, or a 'shop' of some kind for Epic/Legendary equipment, or even a 2nd option equipment for a quick change when needed. And so on and so forth. It's also extremely short and somehow resource intensive: I can run FO4 with 300+ mods, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. EFP, modded Bannerlord etc etc for example with solid 60fps on high settings, this game somehow falls to around 20Fps in certain missions (The side missions in Chapter 4 for example). Overall it's ok for free, as part of a bundle or 90% sale but otherwise I'd steer clear since it hasn't been updated in years (and untick the share info button)

7 minutes... that's as far as I managed before the feeling of slashing my wrists open was overpowering... 'nuff said

a great action RPG adventure game with some unlikely alliance from fairy tales a party of three which includes Snow White ,Robin Hood , Dr Jekyll which they have there own ability's the object of the game is to repair the tron pages of folklore there are five realms to go through the first being the woods unlocking the book pages as you progress through the realms and choosing the skills that you need to get past the boss monster

I think, that its quite good game for a good prize.
