In the 12th century, a supernatural catastrophe tore the fabric of reality, unleashing spirits and magic, forever changing medieval Earth. Cast into this world and besieged by spirits and power groups, you must gain allies, take up arms and find your destiny.
To the common folk, magic was something to be feared and undoubtedly the handiwork of evil demons. People across Europe sought protection from the forces of evil and therefore relinquished utter control of their lives to the Inquisition. Give up? The game dredges up a spoonful of history beginning just after the 12th century, throws it into a centrifuge, and spins up a bizarre and warped look at the World-of-What-lf.
What if, in the year , Richard the Lionheart. Kinq of all Enqland, crusaded across Europe, eventually breaking the walls of the Middle Eastern city of Acre while the occupants starved?
He did. So, what if these events precipitated the slaughter of some 3, Muslims? Uh, yeah, that too. But what if this slaughter precipitated a ritual known as the Disjunction, which introduced magic to the formerly boring Mediterranean? At last, fantasy. This event released spirits that eventually spread, invoking hordes of dark creatures and causing large-scale disorder. Enter the year The setting: Nueva Barcelona. It is the year of the Spanish Armada, and the Spanish Inquisition is attempting to wipe out all magical elements from the face of the Earth.
You are a descendant of the long-gone Richard, attempting to clean up the mess of history with your mysteriously awakening powers. In a promising move, Black Isle has decided to use a re-jigged version of the S. L rule system, from post-apocalyptic role-player Fallout, to manage the qame. Since magic was never a part of this system, the developers now have the task of trying to work it in, and have come up with a system of three magical disciplines, described as tribal, thought and divine.
In addition, the combat in Lionheart is all real-time, so the team has had to jump through a number of hoops to integrate the rule system. Instead of the Action Points of Fallout, for example, you'll have an agility stat that relates to your overall speed.
Historians may have missed this momentous event, but Reflexive, creators of Lionheart, did not. It's all pretty standard fantasy fare, but with none other than Black Isle Studios lending their blessing to this game you would have thought something special was in store. That is the question, and in Lionheart's case the answer is unfortunately "2D", as it features a flat 2D isometric backdrop, restricted further by a maximum resolution of x The poor presentation suggests that the designers are stuck in likes of Morrowind taking the RPG genre to new highs.
Lionhead just looks dated, basic and unappealing. Combat is no more convincing than the dated visuals, with a real-time combat system never making allowances for the often overwhelming number of enemies on screen, meaning that the mostly frantic battles are incredibly difficult to handle, especially early in the game.
It's primarily a hack-and-slash game, but the combat tends to be unsatisfying, the production values seem dated, the difficulty is uneven and sometimes excessive, and the original alternate-history setting isn't enough to compensate. Even so, the game has some merits, and it can be entertaining for Black Isle fans who don't go in expecting too much. Since , we have strived to get a community where our common interests meet.
