Ravensword: Shadowlands

I loved this game when I first played it on mobile. And I still love it. This was my go to when I wasn't playing Elder Scrolls: Oblivion back in the day. Definitely recommend Ravensword to anyone. Fun and enjoyable in my opinion and worth the few bucks. If you want to wait for discount price even better. I have found my own game config settings which I use on most games now since I started using them for skyrim to tweak graphic settings. Some tweaks to shadows, lighting and etc goes a long way. Adds depth and detail to in-game environment, including character in my opinion. Definitely recommend googling game configuration tweaks to use if game graphics aren't enough for you. Just look up settings used for games such as Skyrim, Copy what tweaks you like and add into Ravenswords game config settings. (There are plenty of game configuration tweaks which can be found). Hope that helps. Enjoy!!!

Great game, i played it on my iphone when i was little but it's way better on pc

Ravensword Shadowlands is an ok game, for me it was not easy to decide whether I recommend it or not. But in the end I chose against it. Positives: - The world map is just the right size, and I like how easy it is to fast travel to places - Short loading times and few loading screens - I like how everything you loot has a set price and all merchants pay you the same for the good. In some games it varies based on each shop, which is realistic but I do like a set price, it simplifies it - The inventory, quest log and skill trees are all well done, I especially like how each skill point you get on a level up is actually worth something Mixed: - The soundtrack has some bangers, but the fact there's only something like 4-6 tracks makes it a bit repetitive - The graphics are not the best for a 2013 game, but it is made for mobile and a pc port, so it gets forgiven Negatives: - The combat is horrendous, clunky and often is difficult to attack fluidly. The fact that the game auto locks onto enemies is ridiculous too - The mini map and map doesn't show all of the locations within an area, making navigation confusing - The story is nonsensical and very boring - The characters are all cardboard cutouts, and extremely dull and voice acting is limited to a line or two per character - The quests are very dull, mostly fetch quests or kill x monster. The rewards are usually basically nothing too, with few quests even giving xp. For example, one quest makes me collect 8 bear pelts, but the gold reward is less than you'd actually get if you'd just sold the pelts instead! - Movement speed is too slow, even when you max out the run speed. There is no sprint button, and the fastest way to travel is to, and I kid you not, roll sideways repeatedly Overall 5/10: It has some nice ideas, with a great inventory and skill system, as well as a clear to follow quest log. But the plot, characters, dialogue and gameplay are all quite bad to average.

It was actually a nice little distraction. Played it on Steam Deck, can recommend.

从现在的眼光来看，这款游戏的制作水平全方面落后于现代，证明了当初的惊艳一时只是赶上了时代，而非其有着多么棒的游戏质量和设计思路。 勉强及格的画质，没有美感的运镜，白开水的剧情，薄弱的氛围塑造，使得玩家刚过完新手教程就失去了探索大世界的欲望。 开锁、盗窃、潜行一应俱全，但系统却并没有深入探索这些技能，即使点出天赋也毫无用武之地。 游戏玩法没有深度并不可怕，麻烦的是游戏操作也没有手感，比如翻滚只能左右翻滚，比如骑乘系统的下马操作没有制作教程，这些小细节才是游戏体验的重中之重，却被制作组做得马马虎虎。 地图设计和关卡设计毫无巧思只有堆怪，在玩家视角都能轻易看出设计师贫瘠的思路，也只能无奈地接受朴实无华的堆怪设计。 至于世界观塑造，掉落物没有作用只能卖钱，建筑内部只有任务道具和关键NPC，城镇虽大但没有交互方式，无孔不入的平庸设计时刻提醒着你，这个世界不是鲜活的，只是一个地图做大了的线性流程游戏。 更不用提那些弱智的冒险情节。护送NPC任务？玩家稍微走快点NPC就消失，不禁让人回想起来自“福尔摩斯：复仇女神”的华生。最终BOSS？UI Thok的实机表现简单到让人怀疑其最终BOSS身份的合理性。洞窟体验？南边远古丛林的哥布林洞穴带给玩家的绝望感使其更像是游戏的最终场景。其他种族？暗影精灵王子具有剥夺玩家武器强制公平一对一的机制，因为这是该作精灵族的文化传统，这方面的设定表现还算是有些意思但也已经是我好不容易挑出来的优点。 当我通关游戏后，看着已经坍塌的法师塔，我突然想起宛如在自家客厅散步般悠闲的UI Thok，不禁感慨那个费心费力寻找掠夺之刃的自己简直像个白痴。 不开玩笑的说，这款游戏的其它缺点我还能说上一个小时。 但即便我讨厌它的诸多设计，我还是把它通关了。 因为我知道有个小孩一直为没能通关这个游戏而感到遗憾，所以这次，我替他给这个故事画上圆满的句号。

居然有pc版，小时候在手机上玩的了，当初因为地图傻大空就不玩了，反而玩了另一个开局能选种族的RPG游戏，我当初还是蛮喜欢剑与魔法这个主题的，现在反而没多少兴趣了

I played this game as a kid with my buddy named Nick, who introduced me to it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ravensword is better than Elderscrolls.
