There are no hit-and-run assaults, everything takes place at a leisurely pace from the moment you leave your cell right up to the point where you enter the city of Arx itself and find out your destiny or the game's idea of what your destiny should be.
Rest assured though, it's not long after you enter the city that things start to heat up. There's huge depth in terms of exploration and masses to discover while wandering the lush landscape, with a multitude of NPCs to converse with although some of them are somewhat reluctant to say anything of use and some great plot twists to discover.
In the early stages there seems to be little plot development, but with a little perseverance you'll soon uncover all kinds of sinister goings-on if you have the patience to wait that long. And believe me, you're going to want to, as Arx is filled with exciting combat and tricky puzzles to keep you engrossed throughout.
The plot revolves around a demon called Akbaa who intends to return to Arx and make short work of it. Your intentions, as ever, are to prevent all this nonsense and save Arx from the Fatalis of the title. Items you attain during your travels can be combined to create unique new ones, much like in Diablo II.
Working out how to successfully link the runes you learn on your travels in order to make useful spells is one of Arx's most compelling features.
Sadly though, Arx Fatalis is no Ultima Underworld. The somewhat limited character development and NPC interaction and simplistic melee combat see enemy, click mouse let it down somewhat.
Where it scores highly is in its fantastic graphics, believable and realistic environments, brilliant spellcasting system and eerily atmospheric presentation. If, you're after a solid dungeon crawl that oozes atmosphere, Arx Fatalis is more than worthy of your time.
Many of the areas in Arx Fatalis are pretty dark, what with it being mainly dungeon-based and all. This is a good thing, we love it. What we don't love is fumbling round in the dark trying to find what we're supposed to hit because our torch has gone out and we can't see the damn thing. It's particularly frustrating here, because you end up missing out on some stunning looking creatures in their full glory.
Any Game Steeped in the traditions of Ultima Underworld is worthy of continued attention, especially when it rocks up on Good Old Games. Set in a world where people are forced to live underground because of the planet's sun has failed, Arx was innovative back in the day, with a rune drawing system implemented by using sketching out the outline of a spell's symbol in mid-air. You could select the spell without bothering with the runes business, but where's the fun in that?
The graphics haven't been too kindly treated by time, but the fundamentals of the Arx Fatalis remain as solid as ever. Some of the tougher battles require lots of moving and weaving to survive. When you become powerful enough you can lob off limbs and heads in an eruption of blood with one mighty swing. There are only a couple dozen weapons, including axes, swords and even a bow. This may seem like a small amount, but you can enchant, or even poison your weapons to diversify their properties.
If you want to take out an enemy without getting your hands dirty, you can always use magic. The magic system is certainly one of the most unique aspects of Arx Fatalis. Scattered around the mines are various runes.
Two or more runes may end up creating a new spell that you can cast. You can't simply click a button to cast the spell; you have to draw out the symbol on each of the runes to cast it. It takes at least a few seconds to cast it, so unleashing a fireball in the midst of being pummeled may not be the wisest decision.
Fortunately, you can pre-cast up to three spells for later usage. It may sound like a tedious process, but many of the spells are so powerful that this proves to be a genius handicap. The second largest portion of the gameplay, right behind combat, is solving puzzles. Almost all of them are challenging, and I found myself checking a walkthrough more than a few times. A few of the puzzles were delightfully entertaining and thought out, but many of the puzzles seemed a bit unfair.
Sometimes you have to find someone in order to make progress, but no one tells you where this person is! You just have to wander around and hope for the best. Maybe I'm a little slow, but when I eventually solved some of the puzzles I felt sucker-punched in the stomach. Some were that tough. Merchants usually sell good items, potions, and mods. The game has good graphics and an interesting plot.
Huge selection of ranged and melee weapons, as well as a huge talent tree. You will fight against giant rats, spiders, zombies, demons, liches, creatures and other creatures that you will meet in caves. The main character is subject to one of several schools of magic. Create a Fireball, use Invisibility, or Paralyze an enemy. To use spells, you need to perform successive movements of the mouse.
