Well, I paid $1.09 for a game that I enjoyed more than 70% of games I've played in the last decade. Definitely an underrated gem. Story is fantastic, combat is that healthy level of jank, and it's just a well done game. Props

Plays fine on Steam Deck if you change mouse and keyboard to gamepad in the in-game settings. ..... About the game: It's in real-time with pause. The levels are almost entirely linear, there is some stealth which helps you a lot before battles and is an obvious inspiration for the more recent games in this universe (Styx: Master of Shadows, Shards of Darkness, and soon Blades of Greed). If you've beaten Styx 1 and 2 and are itching for more Styx story and gameplay, this can scratch the itch somewhat. We pñay as two characters; Styx and alsp an Orc. It's really not my gameplay style but I found a way to mostly enjoy it. If it's on sale and you really want more Styx lore, then yes I recommend it. If you're not interested, the one thing you should know that is not mentioned in the other games: Rakash is actually a slur from the orc language. I recommend playing on easy or normal.

Overall, it is not a masterpiece, but still a solid game. Combat reminds of Dragon Age, you assign a queue of actions and can use active pause. I don't hate this system, but never really liked it. It is just okay. The story is okay too. You even have some choices, but can't really change anything in the story. There will be some spoilers ahead, you can stop reading if you want. The last couple of chapters felt too rushed. In the first three chapters you have your camp from which you can upgrade your gear, go on side missions for extra gear, fight your camp buddies in the friendly duels, chat with them, or skip everything, your choice. It felt a bit like an RPG. But then you get nothing of the above. They give you access to the upgrade gear screen at the start of the chapter and then you are on the murdering spree untill the end of chapter, no side missions or dialogue. And this is a shame, because in chapter 4 we meet the Sisters of Laments, basically sexy Shaolin nuns, who lived on the secluded island, learned martial arts, trained dogs and didn't hurt anyone. And the player is forced to butcher them and their dogs. You can't sneak past them or reason with them, they don't have any dialogue. I actually tried to skip the fights with them and managed to pass the first two groups, but after that if you try to sneak, you reach an invisible wall and your character says that he cant go any further untill he murders everyone. These girls are just a pretty filler to make the game a bit longer. And the choice to kill or not to kill the emperor is just a joke. I reloaded and played both variants, and if you choose not to kill, your character says "It is too easy", a couple of inquisitors show up and make it a bit difficult and then you kill the emperor anyway. Overall, the moral of the story is gray. The orcs are claiming they have honor, yet there are too many traitors, and the ones who are not traitors do some really bad atrocities, like the one with the sisters, or the one where you burn down a temple full of inquisitor disciples. And I guess it is not a bad thing, because it is touched me enough to finish the game and write this whole paragraph.

It's a Spiders game so you kinda know what your getting into when you start this one. Really dated gameplay and environments, but it tells a really cool narrative that doesn't take itself too seriously. Short but sweet 6/10.

A great rendition and addition to the Styx saga Highly enjoyable, a few bugs here and there but it is more than tolerable. Bit too much talkie, talkie for me, as I am not interested the story that much. That is personal preference though.
