I played this game when it first came out (it was actually a birthday present for my 17th back in 1999). I loved it then, I love it now. Yes the graphics look dated and it has a few little issues due to compatibility, but the story and the game itself make up completly for that.

The controls are completly mouse driven, you move around the world clicking in locations, pick up items using the mouse cursor, it feels exactly how a PC RPG should do. Perhaps an option could be added to use the gamepad (ala Dreamcast version) but that's something that is up to THQ-Nordic to decide if they can and want to. The fact that the way you swipe the mouse controls the sword is really unique and makes for a good mechanic, there issues in targeting enemies but that's not a big problem.

There are a few issues with the other languages at the moment (apparently, i'm on the English language) and some are saying that it's just the GOG version. It's not the same, it's been updated (apparently it had to be to work correctly) and hopefully some of the bugs that existed in the original are sorted too. If not then the chance for them to be fixed is greater now that someone has actually re-released the game.

This game is a perfect peace of gaming history, if you look past the fact that it is almost 20 years old!
