I'm running the game on a 2.13 ghz macbook air. does it run smoothly? no. is targeting AoE attacks difficult because the screen hops around wildly? yes. is the action sometimes slowed to a crawl as many things render onscreen? definitely.

does it matter even one iota? no. 10/10 would get impregnated by a chryssalid again.

10/10 would lay on the floor and feel like garbage again

"oh, cool, I have some time, maybe I'll shuffle around my tactics on Siralim and see where that goes..."

*EIGHT HOURS LATER*

"... WHA HAPPEN?"

what I've seen so far, eight hours in, is fantastic. the art, atmosphere, writing, and music are all to die for. of course, the game is not 'perfect' -- I have minor UI quibbles (a few more tooltips couldn't hurt, why are all of my spells available to quickspell when I've only learned four or five?, the 'map' isn't exactly a map but a zoom-out feature (I'd prefer a real map that I can make notes on), and man, this thing sure is buggy right now (no doubt the devs will slowly iron it all out) -- BUT the thing is, my little qualms don't even matter; you can just tell how much love went into this game, pure & simple. for a two dev team, it's absolutely beautiful. even the knotty parts of the UI feel endearing after a few hours. fans of baldur's gate will be in absolute heaven, but any rpg fan owes it to their self to check this one out. highly recommended.

this is a good spiderweb game BUT everytime I unlock an achievement the game f'ing freezes. every. time. can someone at least tell me how the hell to turn off the achievements? it's very annoying to down a difficult boss and then have to do the fight again 'cause the achievement crashes the game.

why are there no ♥♥♥♥♥ save points

is it not insulting to anyone else to play for an hour then fall off a cliff looking for somewhere to save your game?

Maybe the best $1.99 I've ever spent. There's so much content and wonderful strategic character progression. If you can sacrifice a little sheen for deep mechanics, this is a no-brainer.
