Not bad, but a little boring. Because the level designs are the same. The sense of discovery is ordinary. And because the game moves so slowly, it takes a long time to finish. The story and quests are average. Item variety, craft and skills are not bad. Enemy variety is low. In general, it is like Baldurs Gate, but with much simpler gameplay. Like I said, it can be boring.

The game was pretty good when it was released 20 years ago. If you are interested in Chinese history, it is still a god one even today.

The game is very retro, 3 d isometric. I played it online years ago and the stand alone mode is also fun. I would not compare it to modern games as far as depth goes but this is an overlooked and under rated classic! It will be in my collection for some time along with more popular games. It reminds me a bit of the Dungeon Siege series but predates them.

this is an okay role playing game, but not if you don't like to talk to various NPC. The game is set ancient china and the player will play as a cast out prince who tries to find out the conspiracies behind an empire. there are lots of side quests and lots of story line. Don't play unless you like to take your time because this game is lengthy. The game is played more like dungeon siege but overall experience is more like neverwinter nights since it does have strong characterization and quite a lot dialogue. Also you will find that there is no real structure in the game so you kind of wander around a bit. Personally, I like that it seems more realistic and more freedom. Story line pretty cheesy and reminds me of a dungeon siege 1, but cheese can be OK sometimes. Also I personally like its ancient China setting, another game from Bioware called Jade Empire has a similar setting but overall this game has more depth on role playing aspects.
