Cheesy title, but I got this along with a few other title's in last Weekend's Steam sale.

I can't believe I missed this two years ago. It's quite linear, but hands down the best melee combat I have ever witnessed/played in a game. The immersion is great. Anyone else play this game?

The storyline was over my head...did I need to play something else in the M&M series to understand WTF was going on?

Zombies!!! I'm playing this right now, strangely enough. Too many bloody putrid poison zombies. tongue.gif

I got it a couple of years ago for my birthday, but my poor PC was too wimpy and once you had more than a couple mobs hammering on you it got unplayable. Snagged a PC from work a few weeks ago, not the best box for games, but a solid HP Workstation ( was a brute in it's day) and the game runs fine on it.

It's very linear and a little quirky. Good thing I usually spec grunt for starters, because arrows and magic seem to run out too fast. Haven't gotten to the end yet, but it's fun. A very pretty game, too.

I was about halfway through when I had the sudden realization that i felt like I was playing a medieval Half life 2, turns out it was made with Source laugh.gif

Yeah magic/arrow usage is retarded. I ended up picking a endless quiver, which was weird because I never seemed to run out of arrows before.

I honestly hated this game. The graphics were very sub par and the gameplay was not that enjoyable. Very linear campaign.
