I played the original Nethergate back in the day as well as this update when it came out. This version is fantastic, just like the other. Choose Roman or Celt for different experiences, abilities and encounters! This is a turn based\/party-based RPG with a lot of replay value and excellent leveling system and story. If you like classic RPG goodness sprinkled with historical context, you can't go wrong with NetherGate:Resurrection. Nethergate was my gateway into computer RPG and shareware alike.. I bought a MacWorld magazine with a demo of Nethergate on it for my PowerPC 7300 and the rest was history. Spiderweb Software has provided me with a couple decades of entertaining fun through Nethergate and the rest of their games; so its fun to see their games being "resurrected".. This game is fantastic, and I'm pretty sure that it's not even nostalgia talking. Cons: No music (beyond the simple music in the main menu), the ambient sounds that it plays in some areas are kind of awful, the graphics are archaic, the ui is not super intuitive, and in general it feels like you are playing a game that was made in 1998 (spoilers: you are)Pros: Despite all the cons I listed, this game is still REALLY fun and immersive! I played as the Celts and the story hooked me right from the beginning when your party of adventurers is summoned for mysterious reasons to the fortress of Nethergate. Although there is some historical context to the game, you are soon introduced to some distinctly non-historical creatures. You are plunged, in true fantasy rpg fashion, into a cave full of goblins to pilfer back a stolen relic of great significance, or perhaps into a fairie temple to bargain, or even to a dragon's lair. What really shines about this game is the attention to detail. The game is brimming with secret areas, rare treasures, rich detailed descriptions, interesting characters, easter eggs, and little clever touches everywhere. Combat feels good even after a thousand battles due to well-paced progression in terms of spells, equipment, and enemies. Playing on the standard difficulty, I felt that the game was challenging enough to require me to reload my save plenty of times, but never punishing enough to make me ragequit. You always want to try just one more time because you know you can do better if you just used a different spell, or started the fight in a slightly different formation.So basically if you want to play an old, classic rpg that not only shows its age but wears it like a badge of honor, buy this game. I think you will find an experience that is rich and full of life.. I had a lot of fun with this game. You can play 2 different sides and get to experience history a little from two perspectives. I really like the fantasy setting and there are plenty of things to explore. If you are familiar with Spiderweb games I believe this one is a good one. The Avernum series is also a great one.. Ignore my steam hours, I used to own this game. It's old, so go into it knowing that some things are going to be hard to figure out and things like the quest journal may not be polished. That being said, I love nethergate. It's a refreshing break from the games nowadays that hold your hand through every linear dungeon and tell you exactly where to go. I like getting lost in the dungeons, being slingshotted from above by goblins, getting trapped and being penalized for activating things I shouldn't be activating. The characters are fairly robust, with a 4 party system that allows you to specialize pretty well. Definitely recommend if you're looking for an older RPG fix.. While I enjoyed some of the Avernum titles this one has not entranced me. In fact because of the way it is displayed it is not only not engaging but downright hard to play because of the tiny graphics. (Even with the "fixed" resolution ap at the beginning it looks very poor.) And frankly it just wasn't my cup of tea. However if you like Rome based games (the game takes place in Roman Controlled Albion (because England is not yet a thing) and that may appeal to you. I did not get far so I am not really saying buy or don't buy but beware that it may be unappealing because of the size of the game window and graphics within. That said, if it is on sale at $0.99us or so that isn't a terrible price to pay to find out you don't enjoy it.. This game may not have the best graphics, but if you have played any of their other games you'll know why they're awesome. their plot is so well constructed I just love Spiderweb games
