A turn based approach is used, with each person getting one or two attacks each round with the ability to do many things such as cast a spell, evade, run away, play with items, and, of course, hack and slash at enemies.Ī really impressive part of the game was the lock picking and alchemy features of the game. The combat system is done well, allowing for easy play and easy understanding. Movement in the 3rd person view can be easily accomplished with either a click of the mouse, or a pressing of a key. If more than one view is available, you can switch between cameras with a keystroke. The game plays very nicely, and while in other 3rd person view games the viewpoint could present problems, each camera angle in Return To Krondor is specifically set at a certain point to provide that maximum amount of viewing area for that particular spot. Another bug is in the sound system, at times the music will do a repeating loop of about half a second of the music, and it gets really annoying. One of them that does not occur too often, but often enough, is the game crashing for no reason at all. As for the other parts of the game, the main menu system doesn't allow for much, especially in the graphics adjustments department, it does get the minimal job done.Īs for the "undocumented features" of the game, there are several that sure act like bugs. The story is thick with a main plot that has several sub-plots and mysteries to be discovered. The combat system is simplified to point and click with a single menu of choices allowing for a wide range of available actions including attacking, spell casting, evading, item use, and choosing attack style. The graphics are all 3D and 180 of the real time characters are motion captured, allowing for realistic movements and believable actions. Incredible graphics, a simplified turn based combat system, and a thick story are the main features of this game. You take control of Squire James, Jazhara, William ConDoin, Kendaric, and Brother Solon as they go through many adventures to try to defeat Bear and restore the lost artifact to its position with the gods. A madman known as Bear races to try to recover the artifact while you and your party of adventurers must stop him and his minions. Several years after the story of Betrayal at Krondor, an incredibly powerful artifact known as the Tear of The Gods is lost beneath the waves of an ocean. While the game suffers a few small drawbacks, overall it is an excellent and long-lasting adventure. The graphics and sound are top notch, and the role-playing elements of the game are even better.
