    Cross of the Dutchman just doesn’t feel finished. If the combat gets tightened up and the stealth gets reworked or removed, my opinion of this game would dramatically improve.

    Had Triangle Studios only spent a bit longer refining the combat system and laying down some informative collectibles within the game’s world, they could have created a true hero in the battlefield of historical games.

    Cross of the Dutchman’s “based on a true story” narrative is neither accurate, nor are its battles a substitute for action RPGs like Diablo. I would rather read Pier’s Wikipedia entry again, which offered greater entertainment at zero cost.

They were very entertained while playing the game. I decided to try it out myself and I have to admit, it is a really fun, yet short experience! You definitely get your moneys worth, I could have paid up to $20 for 2 cinema tickets (excluding the food) for a 1 hour and 30 minute experience or purchase the game: $7,99 for about 5 hours fun! Some of the critics are complaining that the game is too short, but I don't believe they ''analyzed'' the price-tag of the game. There are many inferior games that charge even double! To summarize: awesome story based on historical events, pretty basic but solid combat system and beautiful art and soundtracks!… Full Review »

    A short XVI century adventure with elements of the isometric ARPG. More like a prologue to the game than the game itself.

    I got this game, which was totally unknown to me, for 0.20€ in a Mystery Key sale.
    My first thought: "Oh ♥♥♥♥♥, another useless indie game I'll never play".
    But then, I noticed the game was Mac compatible, despite what I expected. I gave it a shot.
    What came after, you all know. Hours came and went away, and I enjoyed this little wonder during these goddamn hot June nights.
    The best 20 cents I've ever spent.

    PLUS: the devs included Frisian language. Hell yeah, it's the first time I see a local language in a game. And I love it.    … Full Review »
