I don't remember any big technical issues when playing on launch. Game worked fine for me. I'm gonna guess one of two things: a) idiots with potato PCs whining, b) problems limited to certain technical configurations. A is far more common in games, but I can't rule out B.

It works fine with my rig and it is 5 years old at least. The problem is, I could never bring myself to complete it. It gets so boring towards the end where it is literally glass cannons everywhere. Either I ROFLstomp the opposition with my teleporting/charging supermobile crew, or even peasants kill characters with one or two hits (Red Knight map, I am looking at you). It got boring faster than hbs' retarded tactician marauder called shot nonsense.

Bought the game during the sale and it's great, but the lack of an in-mission character sheet/inventory is kinda annoying. If I'd gone for a dedicated A-team I guess it would be fine, but since I keep trying new people and switching people in and out I have little chance of keeping track of who has which items. Which vanguard had the max backstab damage item again? Was it the marksman or the arcanist who had the max damage overwatch item, or did I switch it out?

Wow, what a nice game ! Great TB combat, good writing and great art & atmospshere. How did I miss the information it was legit for so long on the forum ? I guess shit threads like "arcanum is worst rpg ever" are too distracting.

Was game always so easy though ? Lvl 8; hard difficulty and already thinking of changing for v hard.

I looked at this game for a long time - the style and graphics are very good, but in terms of dynamics and general feeling of gameplay I personally did not like it at all. I didn't even want to try this game in the pirate bay. Although for example The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos passed with pleasure, despite the cartoon style and peculiar humor, underrated game.

Looking at a game, what a strange way to use one's free time!

Yes, The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk is a good game despite its goofy art&humor, and one of the very few games I bothered to finish lately, but I know I'll never do another playthrough whereas with this one, I already anticipate different paths in future playthroughs. Hell, even the witing is enjoyable and not lacking in humor. There's a consistency in the art & I haven't seen as many piles of human skulls since early Sláine comics.

Now reaching level 10 and contrary to what I expected, the level of difficulty remains constant.

Shit, for the last 2 turns on the strategic map, my companion's level have been one or two level behind the main mission's level ; and I don't see side missions appearing anymore in order to have fast levelling for everyone, just events. Besides, last missions were tough, I have at least 3,4 knigts in hospice& cathedral:( If it keeps on like that I'll soon get stuck.

PS : Solved with new 2 side missions by making progress on the morality chart.

Actually it wouldn't hurt if homemade game reviews had visibility on the forum also and not only in the content/news section.

Idk maybe infinitron or whoever creates the "official" game released thread in the forum section could update it with a mention of the game's review if there's one.
