Excellent game. Good and a bit dark and mature story. X-com style strategical battles, which I like. Liked detailed and not easy character progression system, slowly making weak heroes to unstoppable team. Finished first chapter on hard. After that switched to normal, because it is was too hard to make best decisions, without knowing what works in this game and what not. Made same semi optimal choices and needed to restart too much on hardest battles, because my success was too much depending on luck. And without knowing, which characters will join party and which will left, it was hard to make optimal builds. Respec option would be nice, but it was not implemented. Disliked, that mana generates very slowly and there were many battles in row, without option to restore it. Resorted to strange strategies - keeping last enemy alive on map, till all mana of my heroes was restored. Stealth missions were bad. And second chapter was a bit boring. Still - one of the best games I had ever played (in my opinion), looking with hope to Blackguard 2.
