"Before its time"
5 stars"

An amazingly deep game by Troika (Also known for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines) which was before its time, before steampunk had really caught on and become popular.

If you enjoyed Fallout, Baldur's Gate I and II, and love the art direction of Wild Wild West, then you'll love this game.

"Old but good"
4 stars"

Though this game is old, it was great for it's time.

After the first couple of towns you get the freedom to travel almost anywhere in the world. Each city has an array of missions to choose from, something small like finding a ring, to looking all over the world for a group of people.

You can also level up your character and his abilities depending on what stance you take, magical or technological – each has it's advantages and disadvantages.

The story is, in a way, too long. With so much freedom, it is easy to get sidetracked and forget where you are supposed to go or what you want to do, and often makes it hard to want to continue with the main missions which progress the story.

"A classic"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

One of my favourite games many years ago (my original has since been lost) I re-ordered it as an adult and played it. Still brilliant, still love it. I wish they would remake it with better graphics. I just love the concept. There aren't enough steampunk games out there!

"Amazing"
5 stars"

I have replayed this game so many times. One of the best steampunk games ever made.

"Awesome"
5 stars"

Awesome Fallout style RPG but with obviously set in a magic/science world instead of post apocalyptic. Quite possibly my favourite RPG of all time, gutted the developers went broke before they could make a sequel or expansion.
