    Good old fashioned mindless hack/slash/magic fare, with nice graphics and great sound. Nice change from all the serious pc games out there.

    A great game that reminds me why I love the action/adventure genre. The graphics are great, the premise is unique, the gameplay is solid, and there's a sense of exploration from trying to find the hidden stashes of gold.

    This game had great graphics at the time of release which is the main positive of what has been said by previous reviews. As time goes by the power of old graphics wears off , so the game play and story become the only reason to play it.

    Sadly this game fails that as the story is ok and the game play is quite poor, being highly repetitive and lacking depth.

    The graphics are not that bad for a game of more than 10 years ago, and some effects and plot twists are almost surprising.
    It has even the right level of difficulty. In particular, it is damn hard to find all the coins in all levels, but doing so is unsuitable and annoying 'cause of backtracking.
    I am actually enjoying playing it again after so much time. It was one of the first game in bought as a 11 years old :')
    Totally worth it for 1 $ on Steam (actually 0,65 € in my country).    … Expand

    I love it. It has really good graphics for its time, and even better graphics than some of 10 years younger games. There are shader mods to improve visuals but I haven't used them and don't really think they are needed. Game is really fun to play, I didn't think much of it in beginning, but further I wen't further I was involved with story and was really eager to know what happens next.I love it.

Though there is one big flaw in story, and that is you can switch character whenever you want and you are actually encouraged to do so, but story continues like it is same character from the start. That really bothered me, but that is only thing I really dislike about it and only con I see. (I got it for 0,49$ on Kinguin (from official publisher), it was really good investment, and if you don't want to buy from "grey cd-keys market", it is on Steam now for about 5$ which is still worth it)… Expand

    This is an underrated gem. The controls are fixed (compared to the Xbox version), and that improves the game overall, leaving intact the excellent level design, physics, graphics, and gameplay that already grace the PC version.

    I have to say... this is really bad. First of all you have exactly one attack. No block, no roll, etc. Just wildly spamming left mouse. Second, this is easy on the hardest mode. Third, this is a TERRIBLE console port. You can't even navigate the menu with your mouse... that's how lazy they were. No real graphics improvements either. Ironically you can't use a controller to play either.I have to say... this is really bad. First of all you have exactly one attack. No block, no roll, etc. Just wildly spamming left mouse.

Ironically you can't use a controller to play either. They did not make the gold fun to find either, its always just hiding behind the rock you are passing or stairs you are going up. And the saving is automatic at start of level with no checkpoints in between, meaning if you fell off a thin flight of stairs or something, you are stuck repeating the level.… Expand

    I would've given this a solid 8 if not for the typical lazy console port job. Lack of any sort of quicksave is inexcusable on PC, and these days it shouldn't be tolerated on consoles either.

    And there are two campaigns to play light and dark.

    Swapping weapons is so slow. And blocking doesn't seem to work well.
    Sure it's not perfect but I still find it fun and enjoyable.

    A great action hack'n'slash game with two campaigns (light and dark) and many playable characters. Depending on how much money you find in levels, you can equip your character with better gear. The game is sufficiently long and is fun to play. Bosses are fun as well.

    The game is monotanous & poorly designed.

If you play a melee character you're gonna have an even worse time because every enemy is so small your swings will always go over them or he'll just swing at wierd angles so if the enemy isn't short you'll miss anyways.

    The levels are really linear as well. It's pretty much a straight line, with one offshoot that unlocks if you can save someone from dying & some dead ends that hide more gold. Enemies also spawn out of no where. You'll often walk through an area with no enemies only to have them spawn behind you.

    The games not unplayable, but it is frustrating. I'd not recommend it unless you get it on a good sale.    … Expand

    Что же я могу сказать про игру, которая была любимой игрой моего детства (пока не наткнулся в своё время на Fahrenheit, а затем на Oblivion, а потом вскоре и детство кончилось)?

    Что же я могу сказать про игру, которая была любимой игрой моего детства (пока не наткнулся в своё время на Fahrenheit, а затем на Oblivion, а потом вскоре и детство кончилось)? Могу сказать, что прекрасно помню те сладкие моменты поиска спрятанных по картам мешочков с золотом или драгоценных кристаллов, которые позже конвертировались в доспехи (по сути, новые скины персонажей) и в разнообразное, как мне тогда казалось, оружие. Помню, с каким интересом я тестировал каждый посох, лук, булаву на способность крошить черепушки гоблинов. А ещё помню потрясающую музыку и атмосферу (этим же кстати отличается и другая игра Starbreeze Studios, ещё одна моя любимая игра того времени, Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade)
    Сейчас же проходить эту игру было ожидаемо весьма скучно, к моему сожалению. Но ведь именно этим и отличаются те игры, которые могут выдержать проверку временем, от тех, которые этого сделать не могут; те, которые забыты несправедливо, от тех, которые забыты по понятным причинам и иногда вспоминаются только в головах тех, кого эта игра сумела зацепить в свое время (привет). Анклав успел мне порядком наскучить уже на третий час игры именно как раз потому, что этой игре не хватает элементов, которые могли бы разнообразить геймплей, вся разнообразность которого заключается в том, выберешь ли ты на миссию в руки молоток, или же меч (причем и у света, и у тьмы абсолютно одинаковое оружие на выбор, гоблин с большим "римским" щитом выглядит весьма комично), которыми ты будешь закликивать врагов практически одинаковым образом, с трепетным ожиданием третьего/четвертого мощного удара с синей/зеленой вспышкой! С разными классами свои нюансы, но вот собственно и вся вариативность. В эту игру прямо напрашивается класс убийцы и стелсовые геймплейные элементы с повышенным уроном, но увы, держите полурослицу/гоблина, которые отличаются от воинов разве что увеличенной скоростью передвижения. Также у меня появилось ощущение, что разработчики особо не парились над компанией тьмы и сделали её в качестве приятного бонуса к основной компании, нежели как полноценную компанию (хотя и со своим интересным запоминающимся твистом). В общем, впечатления от одной из любимой игры детства нынче у меня смешанные, но одно осталось неизменно - тёмная готическая атмосфера вкупе с музыкой Густафа Грефберга цепляет всё также, как и раньше, и пусть у Starbreeze не получилось создать хорошую ролевую игру, зато получился весьма неплохой слэшер.    … Expand

Every minute of being in the Enclave, in the world of dark fantasy, is difficult, no matter who we start playing as, light - darkness, anyway, the game is not going to forgive my mistakes, nor any concessions. Enemies have become stronger, save money, buy new uniforms, weapons, reloading the already completed level. Jumping does not work, try better! After all, every miss past a piece of texture brings death. Forgot to use shield and block, take double damage, it's simple
