Combat is all turn-based, very reminiscent of the fighting system used in Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (for those of you who might have played that game). Travel is fairly easyyou just find a signpost in the area of the game map you are in, click on it, then select your destination on the game map. As it is, about the only way Vivien can accomplish equipping herself with decent weapons and armor, in addition to paying the day-to-day expenses of food and drink and potions to restore health and mana, etc., is to purchase such things from the other merchants in game, which requires moneyand that makes it almost mandatory that you engage in shrewd trading. I don’t mind devising a good economic strategy, but it sure would have helped if I didn’t have to spend so much game time involved in financial endeavorsand that’s where defeating tough opponents (and there are some tough ones throughout the game) who aren’t so miserly with their dropping of loot would have really helped out. And while buying cheap and selling dearly sounds easy, in the world of Antasion, you really do have to plan your strategy well in order to make a decent profit.Īnd the constant running around just to try to build up a profit trading goods was one of my gripes about this game. This is because, while combat is both frequent and a basic requirement (as in any RPG) for gaining experience, your opponents rarely drop any decent loot or any significant amount of gold. Business (or trading, if you prefer) is a strategy you will learn quickly if you hope to survive in Antasion. Magic looks interesting enoughunfortunately, by the time Vivien is able to learn it and able to level up proficiently enough, it is too close to game’s end (and too expensive at that point) to bother with (though Vivien does start out with a rudimentary knowledge of both fighting skills and magic). Other than being able to brew potions for mana regeneration or for healing, I didn’t find much use in becoming an overly skilled alchemistand that was because I wasn’t able to progress very far at leveling up my alchemy skill due to the fact I was unable to find some of the ingredients I needed to advance, and I was able to find only one merchant anywhere who dealt in alchemy goods (and who didn’t have half of what I wanted). No problem, right?Įssentially, Vivien begins the game as a fighter, though along the way she can become skilled in alchemy, business (as a trader of goods) and, toward the game’s end, magic. Thus, Vivien begins the game as a fragile novice mortal in an unknown world trying to accomplish a most godly task. Unfortunately, Vivien’s divine essence is shattered during her trip and scattered about, where it is absorbed by the gods of Antasion. Her mission is to seek out a “counter weapon” to the awesome power wielded by the God of Darkness, Mortagorn, against all of the other gods. The game starts out with an introduction to the events that led to Arswaargh sending Vivien to the unknown world of Antasion from her own homeworld of Bellarion, which has been in a constant state of war for centuries.

While you will have full control of all party members (at least while they are in your team), essentially you will play as Vivien from start to game’s end. From time to time you will add various and sundry party members to your team. Vivien is the avatar of the God of Fire, Arswaargh. You play throughout the game as the main character, a young heroine named Vivien.
