Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura Review

With Troika’s original RPG offering receiving some additional exposure thanks to Good Old Games, it comes as little surprise that a new review of Arcanum has surfaced over at GameShard. Here’s the summary that accompanies their 8.0/10 score:

A compelling and convincing world coupled with a deep character design, an involved story with a few surprises, and some well drawn characters are let down by an over reliance on staple RPG dungeon crawling and a combat system that only occasionally reaches the dazzling heights of mediocrity. If you like big involved RPGs this game is well worth a look, even if only because Arcanum tries to create something a little different to all the Tolkien copies out there.
