Finally I finished it. The game was definitely good but halfway into it I started skipping the lore bits because the game was starting to get a bit tiring. The final boss was a bit hard if you don’t know what to expect from it (but it still was slightly easier than the Necromancer) but the game was mostly easier than your usual action-RPG game.
Btw, here are some tips for anyone who decides to play it:
- Do every sidequest available. They will be pretty much your main source of extra exp.
- When doing the Fish Co. quest try to get both the Viking Funeral achievement and the other achievement for solving things peacefully. That’s it, save before starting the quest, burn the Blue Whale when you can, once you got the achievement load the game and try to get the other achievement.
- Before you jump into The Abyss make sure you have every achievement except for the one you get for finishing the game because once you get in you won’t be able to go back to the map anymore.

I’m not gonna lie, this game resemble those cheap-looking porn flash games quite a lot, be it due to the art style or the super cheesy dialogues, yet it manages to be fun (even if you don’t try to go after the girls). Also the story is surprisingly decent for a game that focuses more on the “plot” than the actual writing.
I wouldn’t bother much putting the uncensor patch if I were you though, since the art is well… anything but groundbreaking.
I agree that the last boss was difficult. Also for me the beginning of the game made me work (after the starting areas) or maybe I just didn’t know enough what I was doing yet. :p Once I had some nice crafted gear and potions, it was pretty easy until the final boss fight. You might want to put those last two bullet points above in spoilers…for people who care about these things.
Thanks for the little head-ups for Ember. The game’s in my library but I haven’t played it yet, now I have a bit of a know-how :)
Ember looks interesting, thanks for the review. Also thumbs up for giving achievement hints :)
You’re welcome. Most of the achievements are easy to get save for a few which are missable. I’d have missed one of them if I wasn’t lucky enough to hit Quick Save by accident when I killed the first boss in the game.
There’s a guide that tells you about the easily missible ones…and Nicknames’ advice is good.
