Expect The Unexpected

Pros: - Fun game if you like tactical combat games - The classes are unique, you want to play this game at least a second time - The Skills are not just stat adjustments - I personally like that the world is not random generated - The time you need to reach the next level seems linear, so even at higher levels it doesn't take an eternity to level up - Each faction has it's unique equipment, each of them is best in one type of item (except the Barbarians) - The User Interface fits perfectly with the style of the game, such immersion, much wow, like it Cons: - The random encounters are too few and too similar, they get very repetitive - Too many battle encounters especially when you have to travel long distances (e.g. in the desert) you will be extremely annoyed - Cities are under attack way too often, these battles are too big and therefore take much too long - The equipment degrades extremely fast, after doing a quest to get gold you often have to spend more gold to repair your equipment than you earned - The game defies it's own rules: Enemies can shoot at any field within weapon range, but you can only shoot in a straight line - Many annoying little bugs e.g. sometimes you can't sort items in your inventory until you unequip and equip an item (is fixing that soooo difficult???) - When dying you have to solve an arithmetic task before a timer runs out, if you don't get this task your character is lost (annoying when a bug sometimes prevents you from typing in the numbers) - Sometimes the game is just unfair: Finally have best equipment possible => Event: Oh look a lonely snake and a chest => chosen option: Let's wait until it is gone (because I had enough of these repetitive battles) => Result: you loose all your equipment and gold, you are naked now => if you aren't extremely lucky you will die on the next location and if the death bug strikes in the character is lost, if not you are revived but will have a looong time grinding to get your gear a second time - The game only saves if you "Save & Quit" otherwise you will loose all you progress or even the whole character - The "Abandon Game" (deletes your character) option is directly beside the "Save & Quit" option, don't click it by mistake (intended?) - After 30 minutes of playing this game everything will just be as you expect (except you get an extremely unlucky event where the result of the chosen option makes you think "Really?!? Isn't that just unfair??? I didn't do anything wrong!!!" and the flip the table because you have to start over) Overall I had fun most of the time playing this game. I got it with a 70% discount so I can't complain about the money I payed, but in it's current state in my opinion it is not worth it's full price.

・移動や戦闘がローグライク風のシンプルなグラフィックのRPG。 ・見た目が非常に地味ですが、余計なストーリーなどが無く 　サクサク進めるため、妙な中毒性があります。 ・世界中のオーブを全て集めるのが目標ですが、 　まずは各街との友好度を上げながら 　装備を固めていくことが目標となります。 ・序盤の難易度がやや高めです。 　序盤は裸に近い状態のため防御力がほぼ0で死にやすいです。 　職業やスキルの取り方の違いでかなり戦闘力が変わるので 　コツをつかめば簡単には死ななくなります、が 　初めは難易度easyでのプレイをおすすめします。 ・セーブボタンの横になぜかデータを消すボタンがあります。 　押すと現キャラデータが消えますので注意。 ・古いノートPCで動きます（intel hd graphics4000） ＊以下軽いネタバレ ・序盤は森や山の地形で戦う事で防御力があがり、 　ザコに勝てるようになります。 　さらに序盤は金が無くて宿に泊まれず、ポーションも買えないため 　体力を回復できませんが、森をうろつくとリンゴが 　手に入るのでそれで多少回復できます。 ・弓使いでなくても弓を装備できるのに気付かずに 　プレイしていたためしばらく序盤がきつかった・・・ ・敵勢力の兜などを装備して変装すれば 　友好度の低い街でも入れるのがおもしろい。 ・街で買い物をしたいだけなのにしょっちゅう 敵勢力との防衛戦に巻き込まれるのがめんどう。 ・１キャラのクリア時間は5～10時間程度でしょうか。 ・最初から最後まで地味なゲームですが私は好きです。

Whoever thought "Can't run away from combat" mechanic and "All your items and gold are stolen" event are good idea should be kept away from designing games, period.

Even on easy difficulty you get killed on a travel between two citys. You start without enough gold to buy anything. Just boring crap game.

You encountered a strange woman. "Hello there! I'm a hairdresser, would you like to have a new look? For 5 gold I will do astonishing job! Can I start?" Me: "No, thank you" (reject politely) She suddenly stabbed you with the scissor! "No one rejects me! NO ONE! Die die die!" [b]10/10[/b] Unexpected free EXP

Expect The Unexpected tiene muchas buenas ideas —que toma prestadas de otros juegos mejores— que, por desgracia, no consigue ejecutar con acierto. El primer tiro en el pie se lo da en el propio planteamiento del juego: hay que obtener DOCE runas de poder que están repartidas por todo el mapa del mundo para hacer no sé qué. Repito: DOCE. Resulta tan, tan evidente que el juego sería muchísimo mejor si tuvieses que encontrar la mitad, que da hasta rabia. Y buena prueba de ello es que para obtener tres runas hay que llevar a cabo el mismo puzle tres veces. Algo similar ocurre con el resto del juego: un combate contra escorpiones gigantes es divertido, pero cuatro combates seguidos contra el mismo grupo de escorpiones no. Al final, Expect The Unexpected pone más a prueba la paciencia que la habilidad o la estrategia.

It didn't keep my interest. The map is static, world setting not fictionally compelling, events too repetetive, and the writing too simplistic and full of grammatical errors (obviously not written / translated by a native English speaker).
