Although the combats seemed a little bit difficult in quite the beginning, I'm happy that I didn't quit, because I find this game really fun (bought it right after finishing trial), with just the right amount of challenge (I'm an experienced player of this type of games, maybe that helps), cute characters and interesting (although at some points a bit hard to follow) storyline. What really shows to me that the game has a good difficulty level is that when, with other adventure games, I've had to get tips in the forum several times to finish some (side) quests, here I've managed to complete everything on my own (I've played for several hours now, although it's possible that I'll need some help before the end). A useful addition would be journal or something that would list current quests, but otherwise, great game! Show less

I recommend this game!

While this was definitely an RPG, it emphasized different things than most RPGs. There weren't long dungeons, sewers or caves to explore. The main action was in the cities and settlements - talking to people and exploring.

While this was definitely an RPG, it emphasized different things than most RPGs. There weren't long dungeons, sewers or caves to explore. The main action was in the cities and settlements - talking to people and exploring.

It's true that some of the early battles are tough. However, since they are close to home, all you need to do is rest up when your energy is low. It doesn't take long for your level to increase enough. Although, once you get a couple of levels up, better weaponry becomes more important. Some reviewers complained about not having enough money for those weapons. The game offers ways to get it. In that sense, it is no different than other RPGs where you have to spend time leveling up. In this game, the equivalent is re-doing the same job in order get money to buy stuff.

I played the game in 12 hours which includes about an hour for earning money. This is a much better ratio than some of the bigger, better-known RPGs where I had to spend between 25% and 50% of my play time leveling up.

There were quite a few side quests. Like many RPGs, there was no journal. If you're like me and don't like to keep track of them on a notepad, the trick is to do them one at a time and then return to where you started.

The storyline was interesting although some loose threads were left open. Hopefully for a sequel. Show less

I recommend this game!

I'm sure a lot of people will get discouraged quickly if they don't think this game through. It's not like the usual RPG where enemies are very easy in the beginning. I don't want to give away too much, but don't just run into battles, "explore" the town for jobs. I hope that is clue enough, other wise you will die very quickly. I'm still getting used to the new spin this game takes on RPGs, but I ...Show more

Any rpg fan knows that is always a good idea especially on harder level fight games like this one. Yes, armor is expensive but when u level up, u get coins. I think all the bad ratings are because people are amateur rpg players. More experienced players will enjoy this. When I first played the first Aveyond, I died a lot but that was also extremely enjoyable. Maybe start there for beginner rpg players. I highly recommend Aveyond series. They got easier with each installment. Also, a journal log would be appreciated. I just write it down on a piece of paper for now :) Show less

I like these sorts of old school fantasy games a lot! This one doesn't make it too obvious what to do, you have to talk to people to get clues. You don't have to leave the starting village to trigger the quests but it's okay if you do wander around a bit. If you don't want to fight when you are weak you can escape most enemies.

I love these kinds of games so I was excited to see a new one. I played the demo and although the battles were a little tough, I managed to get through them and purchased the game with a credit. I am not finished with it yet, but am enjoying the storyline so far, however there are quite a few things that are driving me a little crazy.....

Some minor cons:
1) There is no quest log, so it's hard to remember what you're supposed to be doing
2) You can't choose difficulty level. I generally play these on the easy because I enjoy the quests and puzzles way more than the fighting. Here you have no choice.
3) No easy way to get money #other than a couple of random jobs at towns) and items are expensive - the monsters are hard to fight and after an extremely long battle with multiple baddies, you only get 1 or 2 coins!! No chests yet to find in the houses etc..
4) No walkthrough or strategy guide that I could find.

A MAJOR annoyance is a bug in the game where every few minutes the character no longer runs into walls #he walks right through them!) and then you can no longer interact with people and doorways until you exit and restart a previous game. VERY annoying...

I will keep going and hopefully i will get better, but had I known about the issues, I would not have wasted a credit on this game. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

**Some spoilers**
The gameplay was fun. A little annoying how you have to do a certain job over and over and over and over again to get enough money to equip your characters as you get next to nothing from battles. Very aggravating that it never lets you into a city in the middle of forest in the north area of the map and never explains why.....also never finishes the story about Dusans illness or ...Show more

Very aggravating that it never lets you into a city in the middle of forest in the north area of the map and never explains why.....also never finishes the story about Dusans illness or anything about Markus and his sister or Wills mother. It didn't fit too well that the characters get locked into this battle for the ultimate power just to get this one guys body back. There were so many holes in this game that I didn't realize weren't going to be fully explored until all of a sudden it just ended.....and that was that.....really kind of wish I could get my credit back as after hours it feels like I kind of only played 60% of a full game.

I don't recommend this game.

Victim of Xen is a very fun story to play. I got so wrapped up in wanting to know what was going to happen next I played through the entire game in only two sittings. The characters are lovable and I want to know more about them, which makes the game worth it for me. Mostly I want to know more about the characters because there are so many story lines unexplained and some of them just show up without any sort of introduction, I'd love to see a follow-up or epilogue. Earning money is tedious as most of the monsters have very small drops if any (I spent most of the game running caravans to earn money). Monsters are invisible so you should save often as you work toward leveling up and getting equipment. his feels like a first attempt from the developer, and I'd love to see another game with some of the quirks worked out.

I recommend this game!

I played the full trial. Just as it got my interest the trial expired. I used a Coupon from my Punch Card to purchase this game but things only got worse. The glytches started. Your character would be walking on air, over everything & unable to interact with anything. The only option was continue from my last save point.

Your character would be walking on air, over everything & unable to interact with anything. The only option was continue from my last save point.
The bad points are:
#1. Weapons & Armor are expensive.
#2. Very few chest or ways to get money.
#3. Invisible random monsters that are difficult to kill.
#4. No Health Meter on enemies.
#5. No Quest Log.
#6. Walking on Air Glytch. You have to Save once every minute because it can happen anytime.

I think I should have let the coupon expire. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
