<A href="http://pc.ign.com/">PC.IGN</a> has posted the most negative off site <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/392/392170p1.html">review</a> of <a href="http://www.harbingergame.com">Harbinger</a> to date, giving it a <b>4.0/10</b>. Here's a bit about the "character system" in the game:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>As the game claims to be an RPG at its core, the actual RPG elements are quite limited, as there are only four categories that are able to be boosted and modified for the races. This wouldn't pose so much of an issue if each category posed a greater significance to the characters' abilities, and if the shallow gameplay didn't harbor any improvements. For example, by accumulating points and increasing the Radial ability for the Culibines, this would increase their ability to score a more probable hit with their ranged combat weapon. With more balanced gameplay, this may prove to be useful. However, with the extremely simplistic combat interface, the end result is nearly identical, and will be addressed later. Gaining levels simply isn't fun, and takes out a huge portion of the appeal of a Role Playing Game: building up your character to be the absolute best.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
This criticism alone should scare most people away. It's a game that claims to be an RPG, but character advancement isn't fun at all.
