In this video, I walk from one town to another. Basically not doing anything. Except for that battle towards the end... But watch it, if you want to know how the game is. I might do a (non-commentary) Let's Play (walkthrough?) of it in the future. But no promises! I guess it depends on how long the game is. I don't want 50+ videos of the same game on my channel.

Anyway,

Here's a bit different CRPG. How, you ask? Well, for starters, it's set in medieval Germany. This isn't exactly a fantasy game. You battle regular people, as you can see - but I don't know how it is later on.

The game is one of the most open-ended games I've seen from around this time. I suppose it's more of an actual ROLE playing game than most graphical RPGs out there. As you can see in the video, alot of it (villages, towns, castles, etc.) is text-based, and you choose different actions and receive a text saying what happens next (reminiscent of gamebooks such as LoneWolf). That might throw some off, I suppose, but for people wanting to play an actual role in games, it will most likely make them like it even more.

...I really don't know what more to write about it, as I haven't played it much. But it seems like a very interesting game, which was, unfortunately, overlooked. Oh, and bonus points for being able to sneak out of towns, Assassin's Creed-style!


And for something more that's actually related to the video... Well, enjoy watching me failing to purchase a horse as I have no idea what's going on!
