Where to begin? This is a one of kind brutal turn base RPG, set in a Ancient Era of the Roman Empire. While there is influences of the Khans, and Egpytians the complex culture that exists in this world. The monsters in this world are the people, and how far everyone is willing to go to stay alive and keep their head out of water. And spare their miserable souls to the heiarchy of the gods.

You will be lied to, you will be cheated, and many times you'll find your "bad-ass" warrior being taken down by four thugs armed with nothing but shivs and pants. However, not every battle is optional. Using your insight to find the lies within their dialogue and making decisions that suit your best interest of survival.

Combat is brutal, as everyone else on these reviews may tell you. While functioning on a map that is color coated based on your mobility the game will help you make "smarter" decisions when battling people. It will not hold your hand as you choose the best options each turn. Similar to the fallout V.A.T.S. where the character may choose a limb and strike at the location to of the enemy to cripple them or an advantage they carry over you.

The dialogue is superb, and the characters all their level of charm. Each offering different dialogue choices on how they feel about you, where you come from and where you stand with other political affilates. There are multiple options, and so many paths that the story will have you wanting to see every side.

I will be honest, the audio and graphics are nothing special to look at, and at times a sense of world interaction seems empty. It would have been cool to interact with the world around you more and utilize it in taking advantges whether it be the height of a tower, or a small doorway to fight enemies one at a time. There are times the game does this but I wish I would have seen more.

Overall, this game is great. It has a free demo, so if anything do what I did and try it. After a while once you truly, "understand the system" you will appreciate the game so much more. Try it out, the money is worth it.
