Taken on its own terms it is a competent, slightly janky European RPG. Taken as Gothic it is widely rejected, and the PC build still has unresolved resolution and display bugs on current Windows.

It is short and entirely linear — a handful of hours, no exploration, and boss fights that come down to memorising a single pattern.
