    Terrible controls, audio so annoying you will turn your speakers off, lots of bugs, poor graphics, etc. Stay away.

    Hello... I must say I am glad i didnt buy this game. I was testing it at a Friends place and we both agree on it... The controls of this game are arkward. The game itself is not even considering being user friendly. I only managed to complete the tutorial before i decided I dont like this game. The grafics of the game are "decent" but the UI still needs improvement. It is not intuitive at Hello... I must say I am glad i didnt buy this game. I was testing it at a Friends place and we both agree on it... The controls of this game are arkward. The game itself is not even considering being user friendly. I only managed to complete the tutorial before i decided I dont like this game. The grafics of the game are "decent" but the UI still needs improvement. It is not intuitive at all. Take the example of looting... After the tuturial I had a full inventory. But I only looted a few minor item like pots and plants. When I checked my Inventory all pots where using up a seperate slot and the game expected ME to sort them. Also the UI is not scaling with resolutions, and on a 1280er screen all items look tiny and lack details. The overal feeling is "Not ready" - So stay away!… Expand

    Entirely deriviative, and poorly at that. Controls are awkward, skills are awkward. It looks like someone watched someone else play Guild wars, WoW, diablo, then made a game about what they saw. If you want this game, only TONS better, play Guild Wars.

    Numerous bug, highly frustrating controls and camera make for one of the worst gaming experience ever. At $50, I felt totally robbed. Then the price went down to $20....still a ripoff. Not worth the disc it was made on.

    Please... Please do not buy this game. They failed at every aspect... Too linear, too boring, click fest, poor graphics, and terrible design.

    What we have in Mage Knight is a poor attempt to hop on the "WoW" gravy train. The developer clearly flayed all the depth and nuance out of the formula that made WoW such a huge commercial success, delivering instead a soulless husk stuffed with empty promises and features that you wouldn't want anyway.

    Devotees of this universe's mix of fantasy staples and steampunk gadgetry might find themselves unable to resist Mage Knight: Apocalypse's dubious lure, and may even enjoy the game's character-building freedom if an effective patch comes along, but they aren't likely to stay enamored for long when this holiday season's bigger and better RPG offerings finally appear.

    Unfortunately, the game suffers from all around poor AI, several bugs like being able to blast spells through doors, and an all too beneficial save-respawn system that make it incredibly easy to beat.
