    With Cyanide and Focus, it seemed this could mean a new era for the concept and could even resurrect the franchise. -So here is where my review starts- To me it didnâ

    Post patch the pathfinding isn't as big of a problem- you can hit enemies from over your own teammates shoulders. Also the targetting issues don't matter so much seen as you can pause the action. Still, considering the bad reviews you would expect a price reduction soon so even if you like tactical rpg combat- and this is probably the best you'll find in that department- I'd wait for that,Post patch the pathfinding isn't as big of a problem- you can hit enemies from over your own teammates shoulders.

    The game is also a lot easier now. Enemies seem to do less damage and hit less often but I suppose you can play on hard mode if you want the challenge it was previously on normal.    … Expand

    Gameplay is a bit like managing a mmorpg party of 4 in a dungeon. You manage agro and decide when and were to use skills etc. for the entire group (real-time combat with pause). Graphics and sound are good enough. In short I found it worth playing so far.

    I bought this game for $1 on Humble Bundle 10/15/13. This review is based on the game fully updated.

    Lets start off saying that this game really seemed nice when I first started playing it. Like an updated Baulder's gate with a smaller party. Sadly this game just doesn't do it for me the way some of the older games of the genre did. First of all this game lacks co-op.

    Lets start off saying that this game really seemed nice when I first started playing it. Like an updated Baulder's gate with a smaller party. Sadly this game just doesn't do it for me the way some of the older games of the genre did. First of all this game lacks co-op. It would have been so much better playing with my bro in this game. Secondly the characters are static, with only one or two weapons and a max of six skills. The item/weapon/armor system is creative, yet left me wanting. No new weapons or armor, instead you could add a passive skill to one of your current weapon sets. While this seemed original, after a while I grew bored of the same of weapons, and the same old armor looks. Path finding and targeting are rough, but manageable, but the real letdown is that there is simply no treasure. The most you will ever find in a chest is some bandages..... On top of that you duel wield char only gets one pistol, but two swords..... Why not two pistols as well? All in all it is a mediocre game. I applaud the attempt, yet shake my head at the execution. GFX are pretty good, story is So-So, music is not rememberable. 4.9/10    … Expand

    Confrontation's potentially brightest feature – combat system – turned out to be abysmal and the game has nothing else to offer. [September 2012, p.56]

    A monotonous attempt to relive the glory days of RPG combat. [June 2012, p.62]

    Cyanide Studios used a low-budget production to bring a relatively unknown setting to our PCs. Unfortunately, the effort failed. Any good ideas were lost in repetition and underperformance. The script is a messy mix; the logic behind it is "pour as many components from the Aarklash setting as possible into a cauldron and cook it", but the result is something rather tasteless.
