Morning's Wrath


|

If you yearn for the days of Ultima (round about VII or VIII) or the King's Quest games--or if you've plowed all the way through Oblivion and aren't willing to wait for years until the next great, big-budget fantasy RPG gets released--you've just stumbled on a game you will like a great deal. In fact, stop reading now and go play the demo. Maybe I need to insert a rotating spiral GIF here and a deep hypnotic voice intoning "You Will Like It," but it hardly seems necessary. No mental coercion needed--the game speaks for itself.

Morning's Wrath is an isometic "2-and-a-half-D" fantasy RPG, a sassy (if tragic) female protagonist, a story that not only makes sense but you will actually care about, excellent music, and a great deal of fast-paced combat, along with an original and well conceived spell system.

For a small indie team, Ethereal Darkness has produced a surprisingly polished little gem of a game in Morning's Wrath--and yes, the graphics are a little retro, but for that we make no apologies. Gameplay over glitz, remember?

And for a mere $10 bucks. Hard to beat that.

Morning's Wrath Review

Just finished this enjoyable romp. The game very complete and bug-free. The story was very good, and it tied well into the feel of the game. A couple small gripes, the skill-progression pacing felt a little off, as fights will get really after a few spells are learned. By mid-story, I was throwing wall-after-wall of devistating flames at my enemies. (In a sense, that was pretty fun, too!) Also, there are some puzzles that felt unpolished, and I'll admit I had to look up the solutions on the Internet - I think because of the interface. There were a couple other interface quirks that took some time to get used to, too. All-in-all, the graphics are just a bit dated (although it supports incredibly high monitor resolutions), the sound is very good, and the game is enjoyable. If you are an RPG fan, and you can get this for $10, then it is a must-buy. I spent 15-20 hours playing, and I felt like it was well worth the money.

Really enjoying this game thus far - great atmosphere, and the writing is of a very high standard. I'd recommend it to any serious RPG fan.
