Archaelund, a game for self flagellation Preamble I absolutely love this game, especially the combat, but the moments i dont love the game, i hate it. Visciforously. The world is vast, with many things to do and interact with, each combat encounter, is meaningful, not just in their threat, but also the rewards, and potentially their annoyance too. Quests are unique and knowledge is greately rewarded, while unknowingness is punished to a certain degree, especially when it comes to charcter creation, but i will get back to it later, because this Review will mostly focus on combat, because that is a major part of this game (duh), its greatest strength and potential breaking point. Combat....Combat. Combat in this game is....very unique to say the least. First of all, its rough, the baseline difficulty of this game is pretty high, ive played, as of time of writing, two times trough the EA. I created 4 parties. I did not even get out of The first real area with my first party. Melee Combat/Physical Combat There are two ways to deal damage in this game. Magic, and good ol (un)reliable steel. Fundamentally, your party of adventurers, and everyone in the amazing world of Archaelund, are not guaranteed to hit their hits, only god is and you are not god (yet). Every charcacter has a "Weapon Proficiency" for all types of weapons, translating 1:1 to hit chance with that kind of weapon. If your character has a proficiency of 50 in Hand weapons, they will have a baseline 50% chance to hit with hand weapons, excluding any external modifiers. Proficiency is determined by what career the character has and their traits (i.e. Dexterity, Strength, etc.) and talents (active and passive skills), although it is primarily determined by their traits and careers. Now that we know how good you are at hitting stuff, we just have to apply it and try...and miss...and try again...and miss again. You will experience this a lot, because enemies, just like your characters, have an "avoidance" stat, which just subtracts that value from your final accuracy, i.e. you have acc of 70%, enemy has 30% avoidance, you now have 40% acc, have fun. This makes the game incredibly rewarding when you have a min maxed character late into the game, able to hit their ♥♥♥♥, and to hit their ♥♥♥♥ *HARD*, from going from flipping 50/50s for 3-7 damage, to 90% for 14-19 damage. You will feel every level up, every talent, every trait point you gain and it makes every factor crucial and oh so rewarding when you get them. On the otherhand, this makes for an incredibly frustrating early game experience, where your characters are bumbling baffoons, handed with rusty longswords, who cant tell their hand and their arse apart. Your characters will be flipping 50/50s nonstop, and you will get more 1/1000 chance sequences that you will not be able to count them on one hand (Im not even joking, I could, if I decided to, file out a spreadsheet and probably get a statistically significant negatively skewed result). The chance in this game is truely random (even if it doesnt feel like it), and theres even a Karma system which negates unlucky streaks in easier difficulties, because the unlucky streaks are so nauseatingly painful sometimes, to the point you'd think this combat was designed with save scumming in mind (which it probably was to a degree). That being said, i wouldnt have it any other way, the frustration is part of the pay off of seeing your characters grow and develop, what doenst kill you, pisses you off so much it makes you stronger, or something like that. Magic Combat This is pure crack cocaine injected into your veins and no doubt the greatest ♥♥♥♥ in this game, bar non. Because Magic is Magic, which means, ♥♥♥♥ all your proficiency, ♥♥♥♥ all your avoidance, spells are GUARANTEED, to hit. From beginning to end, a well calibrated mage will tear open your enemies like i tear open a döner kebab. Spells hit hard troughtout every stage of the game and theres a wide berth of elemental damage you can access early on, but you know what they say 'a mage without mana is just a guy' in addition that mages are also made out of wet paper sheets. In Conclusion Archaelund, is a game. A game that you should absolutely play if you like exploration, secrets, amassing knowledge, and self flagellation. I have multiple screenshots of me hitting sub 1 percentile sequences, and i hated the game in every moment they occured. Peace on planet earth.
Its a good game with a lot of potential, though at this time it early access natures sometimes show in bugs and incomplete quests. The way it combines and immersive first person RPG with and tactical, turn-base and party-based RPG is an interesting approach I've never seen before an is likely unique at this time. The Good: * Interesting world and lore * "Deep" RPG mechanics * Engaging tactical combat (similar to what Larian has become know for) * Interesting leveling and class system featuring "careers" that can be change (and must be eventually) * Decent sized, semi-open world that will apparently be huge when done * Signature quirky humor similar to its predecessor, "Exiled Kingdoms" * Quests are interesting, well written, and entertaining The Bad: * Some quests are confusing or must be completed in non-obvious ways or require finding object that don't seem anywhere to be found or areas that are difficult to access and easy to miss * Bugs, perhaps the worst of which is fights starting with enemies spawned where they cannot be reached to finish the fight. * While having played Exiled Kingdoms is not required, if you have not some things will not be as clear or seem as meaningful. * The leveling system can be tricky because of some mechanic as well as incomplete content. Always quick save before leveling up, especially with casters as it is possible to get stuck in the spell selection menu because no spell are available for the school at the new level. * It is possible to create a party that is not going to be playable, or at least will make the game much harder. I had to restart in order to change my burgler into a ruffian, since my initial party had too many "squishy" characters for the combat heavy game play. * Questlines tend to be mostly linear Having said this, this is early access, and updates are still coming, if slowly. Presumably the world will get much bigger, and a lot of the missing content will be filled in. And, hopefully there will be fixes for the worst of the bugs. All in all, I'd recommend this game to those like old school RPG with challenging combat, detailed mechanics, entertaining stories, and interesting unique lore, If you liked Exiled Kingdoms you will probably like this unless time gets in you way. If you like Exiled Kingdoms and also like games from Bethesda and Larian then this Archaelund should be right up your alley.
