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.. Good game, well worth the price but it is very frustrating. You spend the majority of 10-20 minutes creating your party and fine tuning it the way you want, then you need to go and find the person who issues you your first quest. Then you go and do your quest, but you get stopped by numerous enemies who seem to be able to attack twice as often as you can. They don't do a whole lot of damage but it is still frustrating to be killed by a goblin who attacks twice as fast as you and you can't defend or anything. The movment and combat can be a little glitchy at times. It's not a bad game, it's not a great game. 7\/10.. Ave!A great, old school rpg and its really immersive for its archaic 2D graphics, as soon as you get a hang of it, you're in Ancient Roman era , fantasy britannia. Details and depth are really nice with many easter eggs, rich with history and has a really good sense of humour. The mechanics are satisfactory, got traits like fallout and skill point buy like MM's. It's sand-box'ish you can do your quests in any order as long as your party is skillful enough, travel anywhere if you have enough food in your bag, talk to everyone in game world provided you're not a Roman trying to find his\/her way in a brigantes village. You can play both as Romans and Britons, they have slightly different stories.This game totally amazed me, by giving me much more than i had anticipated, made me wonder what is missing in most modern games. If you like 2D rpgs and can endure the mechanics like of Might & Magic, it will be a worthy purchase for its price.8\/10 , at least. I love Spiderweb Software games - they take a long time to play, and they are almost as primitive as you can get with their graphics. The stories are great, though, and the worlds are detailed and full of things to explore. The UI on this one takes a little getting used to, but it's second nature soon enough.. 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.. Upon completion of Nethergate (8\/31\/14, 5:54am), I've now finished every single Spiderweb game on steam on torment difficulty.In celebration I am considering setting up a shrine on the street and charging people 5 dollars to come and soak in my magnificent countenance."Come! See the man with no life!" the brochures will say, "So little life, that he spent over 900 hours playing through the Geneforge saga, Nethergate, Avadon 1 and 2, Escape from the Pit, and the second Avernum trilogy on the hardest difficulties!"Mothers will shush their children and tell them not to look as they pass by, the occasional kindly priest or do gooder will sometimes throw a few coins my way and mutter prayers to themselves wondering how one could have fallen so far, while groups of teenagers and young men will jeer and mock, throwing old tin cans and bits of rock at my head.But I shall sit serenely in my state of old school isometric RPG nirvana, my body covered in muck and spit, but my mind drifting outside of the cares of this world, pondering the time that my party was nearly wiped and I fought off a group of chitrachs with just my priest, or the time in Avernum 5 when I spent 20 minutes killing a wolf with 4,000 hp, or the time in Geneforge 4 when I repeatedly reloaded a giant battle to save all the Serviles because I couldn't bear to see a single of the cute little buggers get caught in the crossfire, or that bloody, \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing, redbeard boss fight (which, truth be told, I never did bother completing). In short, while physically present, I shall have passed on from this world, lost in a realm a bit higher than the real, forever and wholly beyond the fray.....or at least until Spiderweb releases another game, anyway.. Nethergate is and old game but that does not make it any less great.The game takes place in the ancient roman times, you either pick between the romans or celts. Both offer a unique campaign and different gameplay styles which adds a lot of replayability. You control a group of various characters, typical rpg archetypes that have strength and weaknesses. The game offers a very good story campaign, despite the old graphics the game is very rich in text and dialogue. Furthermore it's very well written and quite atmospheric and just adds a lot to the overall enjoyability of this game. It might not be for everyone but I highly value the flavor texts and attention to detail.The story itself is interesting and actually really unique, you party needs to fulfill various quests and venture into the unknown facing all kinds of dangers and delicate situations. The game is a grid based tactical rpg which is played in turns. The gameplay is actually quite smooth and holds up well to this day. You have access to a large overworld and visit various places to fulfill your quests.The only downside of this game might be the outdated graphics but don't get me wrong it still plays very nicely and does not feel that clunky. It's definitely worth it for someone who values good rpgs with solid mechanics and nicely narrated storyline.
