Customer Reviews:

Horribly boring and repetitive. [Posted on 2008-01-26]
I checked out reviews and game play movies for this game and I liked what I read and saw. I played the demo from the company which was not very long and this game seemed like fun. I ordered this game and waited the few weeks for it to arrive. The game installed just fine and I started to play. After about 10 minutes of play I started to feel that the game overall was very slow. Not in terms of speed because my computer could not handle it but in terms of game play. I usually had the game speed set to fast or faster to keep my interest. So I played the game for a few days to a week and I did not find enough of a difference overall to continue to play the game. It felt like the same thing over and over again to the point that I was bored and would leave the game running and go do other things. I removed the game from my machine after only about 3 weeks and have not missed it at all. That was about 2 months ago now. I would not recommend this game at all even for people like me that typically enjoy this type of game. Save your money for something else.

A bit buggy, but great! [Posted on 2008-06-30]
I think many people may find this game to be a bit too slow (in terms of game-play), but both my girlfriend and I enjoy it thoroughly. It's a little buggy (especially in multiplayer mode, where things break if too much is happening at once).

The dialogs are really cheesy, but some interesting social dynamics can develop as people love or hate you for your actions in the game. It's neat to be able to judge court cases or be the town mayor, especially. It really is like a little medieval micro cosmos.

I downloaded and installed a player-made mod called "BttR" and it added two new professions (Necromancer/Banker) and many items, while fixing some of the bugs in the original scripts. This, I think, improved the game significantly.

Definitely not a polished game, and not for everyone, but I love it and would buy it again.
