About Wave of Darkness
Wave of Darkness invites you to a huge dark and gritty fantasy world which can be explored the way you want and whenever you want. Tired of killing monsters and solving quests on the east? You can go north and explore the region of Klesabia, Macabon or Ealonia, slay northern monsters ... generally do whatever you desire.
Wave of Darkness is not your average casual action RPG. It is tailored for fans of hardcore old-school RPG titles, offering massive dark and gritty fantasy world which will challenge you at every step. The world of Narr is corrupted by the Dark Magic, and you will have to do your best to free land from this malicious deviance.
While most RPG titles offer very limited area for you to explore, restricting it by invisible walls, or simply with various design solutions, Wave of Darkness enables you to wander everywhere, and whenever you wish to do so. Of course, you can follow the strict path of the plot, and complete quests until you finish the game, or you can explore every bit and corner of Narr, meet various NPCs, complete side quests for them, and fight dangerous monsters. WOD offers 70+ hours of gameplay.
So you decided to start the game by creating a sword wielding character, but after a while you realize swords aren't really your thing. Wave of Darkness enables you to combine and experiment different character classes, which means you can have a powerful melee/ranged or ranged/magic character, even if you made a mistake by choosing a character class that doesn't fit your RPG affinities, without the need to start the game all over again. WoD enables you to combine, explore and experiment with character classes however you want, without limitations. But it's still recommended to keep in mind the basics of RPG, so try to create solid and meaningful characters because the game will definitely challenge you.

[h1] Pretty much average RPG from what I can see. Customize and create your own character (feels a bit limited). Explore map and get on quests that require a lot of your time. I would say go for it if you're RPG fanatic but don't expect much. [/h1]9 found this helpful
DO NOT BUY ! Brought this game back during 2017 on a big discount. And started to try this game now in 2018. This game has buggy skill and quest. Skill - ( When stun monster with a skill and killed, it will just freeze there for about 10secs before the body drop dead on the floor to pick up loots. ) Quest - ( The map will show numerous "!" meaning there are quest to take, but quite a lot of them can't be taken and even when quest are done completed, it still will have "!" mark shown on map. ) And you can't possible make food/potion(HP regen) yourself because the materials are rare or the shops just randomly sells stuff. Example you could loot meat drop from monster but you would need coal or spiced powder which i still don't see shop selling it. So you had to purchase food from shop insead. Making the drops lost its purpose to be honest. Now im stuck in a quest for about an hour plus and even Google or discussion forum doesn't have any thread about it damn it.8 found this helpful

I enjoyed my time with this game and wouldn't be opposed to continuing the experience. You get hands on with the dreamatrix engine and its pretty good. There is lots of stuff to nitpick like how I just bought too many backpack expanding items and theres no indication of the cap so once I hit 70 and ate the rest and it didnt increase my storage capacity past 70 and I got robbed I felt like quitting before the auto save hit, lesson learned and I might go back to play except then I discover theres 0 cloud save feature with 0 word mentioned about "cloud" on the steam discussion area besides an update that added cloud textures or something. Another pain I experienced was no window option in the game. If you search the forum they claim they will be adding one in the future from a post in 2015, I guess they never added it. Another user figured out you can visit the config file and change a 0 to a 1 then the game asks if you want windowed mode. I actually didn't try it out so it could have all sorts of issues, I mainly wanted to use the refresh rate of choice and not my monitors maximum refresh rate. There is no option for this in the game and you need to also visit the config file for thi…
