What players say
I'm glad I played and completed this game. Both characters were perfect and after some time I really liked them. Story started during Hussite wars and settings into this age is really interesting (if there will be less demons and undeads it will be better).

I'll start by saying the game wasn't what I expected. I was hoping for a story set during the Hussite Wars with a plot actually based on those events.

Finger breaking and frustrating controls. Boring fights which are too hard since you have no options only defend or attack.
