DESCRIPTION

A volcanic Mediterranean island is the setting for this original role-playing game created by the designers of the Gothic series. Divided into four chapters, Risen's storyline follows two factions: a rebel group and the "inquisition," one of which you'll decide to join early in the game. Explore lush jungles, dank caverns, ancient temples, and a volcano stronghold while interacting with various non-player characters through multiple dialogue choices. Cast powerful spells, fire arrows, or swing mighty swords, axes, and other weapons to defeat ogres, rotting worms, skeletons, wolves, ghouls, and similar monsters. Battles take place in real time, with action-oriented combos possible as well as opportunities for stealth. Over 250 quests are available to undertake as either faction, each contributing to your overall reputation among the people and groups you encounter. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“call this a flawed review if you like, but i simply couldn't get past the clunky and dated controls to really give this game an honest chance. They need to fire their interface and control designer and re-release an overhauled version of this game...”

“Flawed but fun if you give it a chance. Serious, in depth RPG similar to Oblivion or an MMO. This game is very open ended, lots of interlocking quests that effect you and the world around you. Just because you get a quest doesn't mean you should do...”
