Solid Game

A simple yet stimulating RPG. This is no Diablo or Torchlight, but there are certainly enough abilities, weapons, quests, secret areas, etc. to keep you entertained for ~20 hours of gameplay. I played it on the PS2 years ago and am pleased to see it has been adapted for OS X. As previous reviews have noted, movement controls rely on right-clicking so a USB mouse is a must. The story seems a bit cliche at times, but the game thrives on satire and that is often the point.

As for performance, the game runs smoothly on my stock 2011 MacBook Pro with Intel HD 3000 graphics with all graphics settings on medium. If I try to turn up the graphics settings, the game lags consistently. The graphics are not dazzling by todays standards but the game is certainly playable and enjoyable.
