Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader

The people that join you just follow you around. You can't interact with them or control and develope them like Ice Wind Dale or baulder's gate. If you want a hack and slash, get Dungeon Seige...if you want a real rpg with a plot, get BGII.


May be the best RPGs I've ever played...   July 1, 2006

Think this might be the best RPG I've ever played... Even over Baldur's Gate, Temple of Elemental Evil, and Diablo... Mechanics are good, nice mix of action and role-play, story is REALLY good, challenging, sometimes very challenging, interesting yet easy to follow, side-quests aren't annoying, lots of chioces but not too many, role-playing elements like character generation, skills, level-up choices, and the magic-to-muscle balance all offer good variety and complexity, without being overly-complicated... Very fun and compelling game.

I worked my way from beginning to end on this. I got it because I saw this was the last in line of it's type from Black Isle. I ran this on an 866mhz, 133 bus(off a vitural DVD/image file) and I don't think it could have run smoother.

If you like games from Interplay especially in the genre of Baldur's Gate, Fallout and Planescape Torment, I would highly recommend this gem of a game from Black Isle. The game is a very interesting and very fun to play fusion of a real time type game like Diablo or Nox and the more turn based character development type games like Fallout and Baldur's Gate. The story plays a central role as does the character development. The depth to which certain groups can be played is truly a role playing experience. Try your hand as an inquistor or a knight, or dable in the forbidden arts as a wielder or even the darker arts as a necromancer. The action is similar to Diablo, Baldur's Gate and Nox but its slow paced enough and the pause key allows you play more turn based. The role playing aspect and well written and interesting story make it a pleasure to play and the depth to which you can play an evil character is very very impressive. Do to the skill based system and parallel story lines the game has a great deal of replayability.

From the name behind the Fallout series and Planescape Torment comes Lionheart. Ive put many hours into this game already, and I can easily say its the best computer RPG since Planescape. The story is instantly deep and satisfying, this game is worth the $$$ all the way!!
