I won’t deceive you this game is not without its problems. Even though this game is still in an early access “fetal state,” there is so much potential here for an incredibly engaging game. This large scale combat is like nothing I’ve ever seen and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The experiment triggered a rare quantum event known as a Resonance Cascade, which ruptured the space-time continuum and allowed extradimensional beings from a realm known as the Borderworld. In this 16 square kilometre island, I’ve seen a battalion of 500 knights fight off against what looked like thousands of ghouls. The Black Mesa Incident, also referred to as the Lambda Incident, was a catastrophic event resulting from an experiment carried out by the Anomalous Materials department at the Black Mesa Research Facility. It’s also the enemy and your comrades in that there can be loads of both. So the world is fantasy, I’ve explained that much but what makes this special isn’t entirely its setting. It always feels like you could get overrun at any minute. The first person combat is satisfying and fun, you never feel overpowered or like you’re cleaving through too many of them. There are even things, like the potions and setting, that feel a little derivative but it can be easily forgiven. It’s an interesting hybrid of the two concepts.

The title throws the player on an island touched by a mysterious plague that turns. He asks her to join him, but she shakes her head… no.

It was foretold that doom would come to a dark city filled with wizards that prayed to dark and nameless gods.

Is that a rain cloud overhead? The man telling the tale, whom the charm has now come to… likes to drink. Like Shelley’s “Ozymandias”, the worker’s ghost appears to the narrator to laugh at the futility of his hard work.Ī man spends a fortune on a magic amulet that will prevent his ever dying by thirst. When he is almost caught by sable-furred, tiger-toothed apes, he remembers the pin he had lain next to his bed in another world… and stabs himself awake.Ī falling scaffold worker carves his name into the wood platform that smashes to bits beneath him as he falls to his death.
