The verdict
A charming, funny, nostalgic fairy-tale action RPG that's cheap and still fun, but this PC port has no controller support and a flaky save system. Skip it if you need a gamepad.
Great for
Nostalgic players and fans of whimsical, British-humored action RPGs who are fine with keyboard and mouse
Main risk
Port problems: no controller support, saves that lose progress, crashes or failing to launch on modern PCs
What players love
Charming British humor and atmosphere
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
“But when the entire package comes together, you can’t help but be enraptured by the world Lionhead created.”
