Well, this is a game I picked up quite awhile ago, and have only just gotten around to playing now. It's a FPS-style fantasy game, so a little throwback to Hexen as well. There are RPG elements, and the game proudly tells you that you're not forced into being pigeon-holed into any one class, as you can learn any skills you like. The skills correspond vaguely to the classes of "fighter", "thief", "caster" with various sub-skills mixed in, like archery and so forth.
The plot is the usual fantasy trite kind of thing which you don't much care about, (something about a necromancer and crystals and a spider temple) and the characters are also hard to care about - you, the nameless faceless player, the succubus who inhabits you and makes suggestive comments all game, and the niece of some other wizard who owes you a great debt early on, and serves as the "romantic interest". As I said, who cares?
Visually it's quite nice, if repetitive. As are the enemies.
