An FPS released in 2008 and seems dated even for then.
You're a thief hired to open Pandora's Box. Apparently, you've never heard of it before...
Anyway, as expected all hell breaks loose. Mythical monsters roam the planet destroying mankind. (Weak werewolves, regular were wolves, griffons, golems, fire things, mintoaurs, and some bug things.) Now you have to find a way to reseal the box.
Game play is very meh. There are oddly long stretches between fights throughout the game. Your weapon choices are very limited and as pointed out earlier, there isn't a large variety in enemies. Also, I've gone through every possible thing you can do in the game yet Steam shows me as having only played 11 hours.
The bad part of that is it includes all the time I had it paused and at least an hour of troubleshooting.
Why was I troubleshooting? Because there is a game killing bug right at the end of the game that the developer never cared about fixing. Getting around it requires some forum searches, some file editing, and possibly installing FRAPS (that fixed it for me).
So yeah, there's a bug at the end that many people hit, and was never fixed, that literally stopped your progress cold. For me, that's unforgivable, even if the rest of the game wasn't blah.
I'd say my feelings aren't unique because they set this game up for a sequel and you'll notice there isn't one.
Skip it.
