What players say

When it comes to the now infamous Confrontation IP story has often been sparse. The games have been fun to play, but story has never been at the forefront. This games changes that trend in a good way. Sadly I can't play this game anymore as I'm running a later edition of windows, but when I could play I did it often, and never regretted the time I spent praying my whole party would die with each new fight...

Ohhh boy. I fell for it because I love the Confrontation liscence, and used to be a Rakham fanboy in my teens. But this game does not give the setting justice. Gameplay is uninspired and repetitive, graphics are passable at best. THere is better stuff out there to sink some hours into.
