4.0 out of 5 stars
Welcome to Advanced Dungeons and Destruction!, June 19, 2003
This review is from: Enclave (CD-ROM)
This may be the best NON-RPG full-action fantasy game I've ever played. The game focuses on applying quick and dirty fighting tactics against a host of the most realistic orcs and beasts you'll ever meet on a PC screen. The basic bad-guys are very creepy and real, but to the game's discredit, enemies never attempt to evade, and bodies disappear. You eventually get access to several (12+?) different characters, each very different. You learn the abilities of each while running like hell through a very realistic mediaeval world. Lighting, graphics, and sound are incredible! So darn convincing, you'll be glad you bought this game. Not too much strategy here, a litttle... but most importantly, you will HACK, SLASH, and SORCERY your way to victory. I'm playing on the HARD difficulty setting, but if you're impatient, play EASY difficulty setting, and advance the levels quickly! I've only advanced to the third level so far (after 2 hours), the levels are short and intense. This game is a cross between Tomb Raider and Gauntlet, more real than Die By The Sword. There seem to be very few Dungeon related hack-n-slash games like this on the market. I think I need to acquire them all. I've heard some hard-core gamers say that Enclave bored them. So, if you want an innovative, ground-breaking, mind-expanding, platform-strategy game, this is not it. Do you like heavy-metal music, fantasy, and action games? Do you complain about too many controls and buttons on game-controllers these days? Then you'll love Enclave.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Overlooked Gem, February 14, 2006
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Enclave (CD-ROM)
I look for 5 things in a game: 1)good gameplay ... 2)good story (especially if RPG) ... 3)no/few fixable bugs ... 4)no anti-piracy bs ...5)decent graphics
I'll admit, this game can be frustratingly hard.
Being physically disabled/very litlle manual dexterity does make it much more difficult, but luckily, Enclave had cheat codes(... I think all games should have them).
So, if you run into a really rough part, use them; then turn them off.
This games doesn't rely on killing and re-killing to level up, instead you search for treasure.
The more you find, the better you can equip your character ... trust me; find all you can :-)
Like the two separate campaigns. Though the "Dark" with the Sorc is easier.
It's fun to cover the whole map ... jumping, swimming and running around like a fool looking for treasure
The "treasure total" is on the screen, so you know how much there is on a map ... whether you might want to redo it
Think about the games we've purchased in the last year with ... bugs; one unfinished; companies stop releasing official patches(... thank you to the gamers for the unofficial patches); anti-piracy bs; poor/short gameplay etc...
You can even go back, use inferior characters + cheat codes ... see how many times you would die and redo till you feel like you made an honest effort
The characters are "different", so you can have fun experimenting :-)
I hope they make a sequel.
Maybe the "Light" will have a strong character this time :-)
One note: the "Light" ending was "throw the kitchen sink at you" ... I thought that ruined the flow of the game
Actually the final few maps were very difficult ?
Maybe it's my poor game-playing; the weaker characters ?

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great game, but really should have included multiplayer..., April 9, 2003
This review is from: Enclave (CD-ROM)
If you've played and enjoyed Rune, then you will love this game. This is a very good hack and slash game, there should be more of these in the market today. It has excellent game play and some spectacular graphics. If you like hack/slash games you will love this. My only complaint is, where is the multiplayer???
