well. the plot is good and it really concentrates alot on the story. you really can get absorbed into the game. the gameplay is pretty simple so you won't have to spend any fustrating hours trying to get the hang of it though the strange angle and jerky graphics don't look too pretty. but still there's alot to do compared to the size of the game... i guess you can also say the story is like the EV3 one. it's solid.
so if you like a good storyline and don't really care to much about fancy graphics i would highly recommend you get it.

Also, it has many modern features, like movable save boxes that are very convenient.

Well, when I found out what it was, I didn't really want to play it, but once I spent about half an hour in it, it really caught on.

Hint: don't even attempt to try to play this game unless you have a LARGE attention span. Even I have trouble at times remembering things, etc.

I have a plan so ingenius even an idiot could have devised it. On my command, we will line up our ships and fly straight into the enemy death-cannons clogging them with wreckage.

That's why they have a journal you can write notes in. Posted Image

Speaking of small screens, I am now the proud owner of a Powerbook 520c, and the second thing that I copied to it (after Ares) was Cythera. And yes, it is very difficult to do everything on a small (640x480) screen. Especially after using it on my parents 1024x768 screen.

Hehe, it certainly seems that way, eh? I have looked at this game for a while and have decided to let the players tell me what they think themselves. It is the easiest way to go by far.

Another question for all of you: Have you ever played Realmz by Fantasoft? How do you rate that to this game? I would like this so I can slightly compare fo myself.

Oh yea, I do have a huge attention span (I do have Realmz) so I don't think Ill have a problem with this game.

Another comparison, please. Compare this to Ferazel's Wand. Tell me which is the better of the two on the basis of : weapons, storyline, game length, challenge, etc. Be creative, I like reading other's posts.

Ferazel's Wand comparison in a creative way:

The pumpkins grunt fly over hit brick wall alkg ahioa wakjffua.

Translation:

I never got around to buying the CD, so I have no idea.

Reamlz? I have that, but not registered. Posted Image You have to pay for each scenario you want to play, and at that price it can be annoying. Very annoying.

Reamlz?  I have that, but not registered.   Posted Image. I also have the Prelude To Pestulance scenario registered. Very odd one but it makes your people's levels go up like crazy because of all the tough battles you must go though to complete the scenario. I don't have Ferezel's Wand either so I have no clue about it. I just want to know opinions of the game and so far, they are good.
