Product Description

From the Developer

The skies darken as Harbinger enters a solar system, dwarfing planets and leaving devastation in its wake. Entire civilizations are cleansed, planets eliminated. The majority of the survivors fill the ship’s work camps. Those less fortunate are released to the laboratories where vicious experiments eventually rid them of their sanity. But a few have escaped and formed an underground society deep within the forgotten levels of the behemoth. Equipped only with what they can scavenge, the denizens of the wastelands must resist the relentless patrols sent for them. A ship this size has many places to hide and much technology to exploit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hours of repetive fun!, March 23, 2003

This review is from: Harbinger (CD-ROM)

I'm trying to love this game, I really am! It has some very beautiful artwork in a setting I can't get enough of. Calling it an RPG is really not adequate though. You have four atributes and thats about as far as the RPG elements goes. The characters have some intresting points to them, but there is never any time to make conversation. This is because the game is composed of nothing but repetive kill everything that moves action for about 95% of the game. The good: looks beautiful, very intresting mood/setting and runs smoothly and most systems. The bad: you just kill stuff over and over again for hours on end, its gets to you after ahwile.
Personally I can't wait to see what the Harbinger team can do next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game at a Great price!, March 3, 2003

This review is from: Harbinger (CD-ROM)

This game is gorgeous and fun. It offers more than many [more expensive] games do, and does so with a wicked sense of humor. Most RPGs I've played lately (NWN,DS,DD, etc...)have had either weak/predictable/or no story. This one reads and plays like a graphic novel ala Heavy Metal, and bottom line is FUN!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bugs Bugs Bugs, April 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Harbinger (CD-ROM)

Stay away from this game; it has some serious technical issues. The number of bugs this game has is just amazing--just check out the Harbinger forum. If you are running a high-end ati video card (9700 pro), the guys at tech support have no idea why their game doesn't work properly with those cards. And if you aren't, then there still isn't any guarantee the game will function properly. It seems to me they shipped this out WAY before they should have. They didn't want to wait to get their money; however, they don't mind making you wait to play the thing while they try and figure work arounds for problems they should have addressed long before distribution. Again, just check out the Harbinger forum before you buy.

Here are my pc specs (and remember this is way, way above the recommended, but it still did not run):

Pentium 4 1.8Ghz CPU
768 MB of Ram
Windows Me
Ati 9700 radeon pro
Creative SB live!
