    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 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.

    A game that is surprisingly enjoyable even though old with ugly old graphics. Not bad at all for a game I got for 50cents. If you don't mind ugly graphics and rather sub par combat you're likely to enjoy it.

    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.
    It's still an ok game better than some triple A titles.    … Expand

    A real classical game, can't believe this was created by Starbreeze Studios! My favorite game company. The game is really good on first impressions, I like that there are two campaigns. Light and Dark, I highly recommend first time players play it on Easy, as you can die allot! On the whole, the game is really cool, a great RPG experience

    But I must warn you, that the game is really glitchy and really put me off with all of its bugs and glitches, and the game can get pretty boring quickly, so, if you like RPG games like this with some clunky mechanics and glitches, then this is the game for you, if on the other hand, you like RPG's but you want a good solid game, then this game is not for you    … Expand

    Слешер, который можно пройти магом. РПГ без прокачки. Идеально. То что надо. На удивление интересно, не вызывает отторжения. Вполне взрослые по уровню проработки локации .. да и вообще всё. Классно что дают играть разными персонажами. Уж не знаю почему такая старая игра так хорошо играется даже сейчас, в отличи от современных игр. Рекомендую. 7/10.Слешер, который можно пройти магом.

    The game is monotanous & poorly designed.

    The enemy AI is terrible & goes from being completely stupid to jump around & avoid all your attacks while they bash your face in. If you play a ranged character you're gonna have a hard time because the enemies are constantly moving & have tiny heads and you NEED to headshot them in order to kill them.

If you play a ranged character you're gonna have a hard time because the enemies are constantly moving & have tiny heads and you NEED to headshot them in order to kill them. 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)? 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    7.2/10
    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

    Good game. I really like it. But It'll never be outstanding and the melee combat is just mind numbingly boring.

    Game reminds me a RUNE game from 2000's.
    Very enjoyable and challenging enough that keeps you playing to the end.

    Это игра обычный слешер, в которой нет ничего особенного кроме реиграбельности за свет и тьму. Больше 7 баллов, я поставить не могу, это просто хорошая игра на два вечера.

    The PC version of Enclave has a much tighter control scheme then compared to the Xbox version.

    This fun is tempered by the frustration created by the lack of mid-mission saves, surprise death traps, and a combat system which makes a challenging game even more difficult.

    The PC version is very playable, has a good story line and will give you plenty of bang for your buck.
