Start your adventure as the nameless hero on the island of Khorinis,
a prisoner of the King as you make a name for yourself in this
wondrous universe and eventually arrive on the mainland of Mrytana
of the ultimate battle which threatens the very existence of your
planet.
Although your motivations may be noble or nefarious, the
choice is yours as is the choice of whether you wish to wield magic
or a sword. Classic Sword and Sorcery is what Gothic Universe is all
about as you fight your way through a plethora of enemies from Orcs
to Humans to the ancient Dragons.
As
all good traditional RPG titles, gamers are awarded experience
points which can be used to increase a variety of attributes on your
characters and upgrade their path that they will follow, whether
magic or more mortal based such as a weapons.
With a variety of missions, weapons, equipment, items and NPC's that
you encounter in your trials in the Gothic Universe, your once
humble character by the end of the title will almost become a demi-god
by the time you complete this title. The developers have also
ensured that there are multiple ways of completing each game which
means gamers can continue to play this game, even after they have
finished all four titles but get to the end in a different and
unique way than the first time.
Graphically, the Gothic series has always been quite impressive,
although the first title looks a little dated when compared to the
second and third, the lush 3D environments are simply amazing which
contains a variety of special effect from lighting to weather. The
title also features a third person view point which assists in
battles and makes it easier for the gamer to successfully defeat
their foes.
In
conclusion, Gothic Universe comes at an extremely affordable price
for those gamers who may have missed the series the first time around
and best of all, the system specifications are still rather low
compared to the modern games of today. With that said, Gothic III is
a visual masterpiece as is the previous games. Even though Gothic I may be a
little dated, it still contains a great engaging story, perfect
RPG gameplay and classic sword and sorcery. The rest of the series
just gets better! There's little to complain about this compilation.
