It's a fairly big game, and there's a fair number of things that repeat themselves just to make the game seem bigger. That said; it's disciplined in it's approach. In less than eighty hours; I beat it on the second hardest difficulty (which is really the normal difficulty). For comparison's sake; I have sunk hundreds of hours in to some open world games and have not completed the story. That's just it; there's a story here. Even just fooling around is advancing the plot. There are no "radiant quests" there are no fishing mini-games. It's just the plot and game-play flows along with that, rather than adding a bunch of filler that doesn't advance the plot. Speaking of plot. The whole "people talking about everything they're doing in to a recorder" is here, but as unrealistic as it is, it works as a "trail of breadcrumbs". I did consult some information sources online for this game. I did this mostly because necessary upgrade items are scattered throughout the game and the game would have been a lot longer if I had to search every single area to find them, but if you pay attention the game does a pretty good job of telling you where to look for at least the early upgrade items. It is a bit grindy, to be sure. You will revisit areas you've already been to, defend your base against waves of enemies several times, but it does end. All in all it's a good game if you've got the time to get in to it.

this is kind of a game when you play one hour, then be back in a month and you dont remember what to do and how to do, and you don't what to start from the scratch, meh. But I can understand people who 'd like it.

Fantastic game with great replay value. There's another game that shares the name, but it feels unrelated. I'd love to see a sequel to this one that carries on with similar gameplay.

Don't generally write reviews, especially on an 8 year old game, but just wanted to commend this game for doing what it does well. It's fairly simple in design, but it's challenging, creates a sense of progression as you go along and has just enough variety to keep you going. I've spent way more on games that I've put much less time in. Well worth it.

One of the most stressful games out there. It's not the monster who beat you. It's their numbers. It's not the combat that is difficult to handle. It's your nerves. It's not the resources that run out. It's the time. Yes, it's an old game. But everything in it is so atmospheric, you can't help but immerse. Libera te tutemet ex Inferis. (c)
