An old classic.
Just don't try and use 6 keyboards at once. They all stop working because of Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
Ah, racism like grandma used to make, if you have a cringe threshold this game rocks. Those with no sense of humor need not apply
One of the coolest old original RPG rulesets I've come across. It has an old Fallout vice.
i quite enjoyed this game. because i have previously play this game decades ago. yes this game is over 20 years ago. the problem with this game is the incompatibility with new computers which i personally do not like; it gives issues when alt-tabbing. but the game itself is still playable-ish. for a game so long, it has a nice bgm with an array of abilities one can learn. from skills to magic to creation. this game blurs the lines where magic and technology comes together. maybe in today's games, that is a common theme/space to have. but know that this game feels like the introduction of such opposing themes to come together in a steampunk game. yes, it is one that is beyond its years. also, anyone who indulge in turn based combat with rich writing akin to Baldur's Gate and the likes, will enjoy the game. if they can overlook the aged graphics/game mechanics and tech compatibility. do not expect support to be granted for games like these.
One of the best old school role playing sandbox games. Isometric RPG with steam punk meets high sorcery vibes. This game is incredible with one of the most in depth character creation out there. don't miss it.
Nice to revisit some great RPG classics.
Very good
this game really dose need a remaster but as it is its still worth the money
Very good game, one of my favourites and a must play for all fans of rpg's
Best writing in a game I've experienced in a while. Extremely rich and deep lore, story, characters, and mechanics. The quests were a treat. The slower pace forces you to breathe in and enjoy the dynamic world the game takes place in. Decisions made in the earliest parts of the game can have pay-off years down the road in game.
Just be sure to patch it before setting off. Waiting until the end game for a game breaking glitch isn't the move and not an uncommon happening.
A neat game with a very interesting world and theme, the gameplay is okay at best, but the atmosphere, soundtrack, and writing make up for it in my opinion. If you have played the classic Fallout games or like CRPGs, you might like Arcanum. [You have to install the Unofficial Patch or else it won't run properly.]
You gotta patch it yourself for it to be playable but that aside it's a fine rpg, very cool concept but is quite janky even for old game standarts in this version.
What can I say besides what a great game it is. The visuals , while incredibly dated, are still serviceable. The music is timeless. Honestly wish more games OST was comprised entirely of violins and cellos. Also here is a link to a youtube video of people playing the main themes song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4lk10NNHYg
Gameplay is wonderfully unbalanced and as Sseth has mention in his video, you can pretty much beat the game by running charisma and just using talk-no-jutsu on the final villain. Hopefully with the success of BG3, games like this can be brought back and given the love it needs.
10/10 would recommend to anyone.
It's made by Troika, which means the characters, setting and world are absolutely top notch, but by god the combat is shit
Played this one several times. The voice acting in this very well done and the design and graphics may not be as dramatic of today's games but they are exactly right for this game and its setting. This game is one that is well worth your time if you would like to give it a shot. There is a glitch in the graphics that is easily overcome with a patch. Enjoy! Go find Gar. Gar no like green tea!
The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be
We need a Glasnost
Broken game.
d
i really really dont like the combat
Fantasy combine with steampunk setting, Sound interesting but what great about classic D&D is throw under the bus.
- Too much sexist/rape/breeding in the story even with all the gun/magick make them equity in usually fantasy world.
- Combat is horrible and unbalance, Follower cannot picklock and other basic thing.
If you can look pass two major point about combat and rape google "Half-ogre Island" even the god who can destroy the whole world itself cannot solve then this game is ok.
play it
Unofficial Arcanum Patch 2.0.2 addresses the worst issues with the Steam version, making this unique title worth exploring for fans of retro isometric titles.
This was one of my very first favorite RPG's and still is today. I had all of the important features a good RPG should have. character creation, free roam, great story/plot, and it was the first in a Steampunk setting. You also have early percussion firearms which is very cool and you can craft. all of this is the very early 2000's. You now also have a ton of new story campaigns in the form of mods to download on the internet. Its a classic that I come back to every now and then. its a shame we have never seen a sequel.
One of the greatest games I've ever played. Just obscure enough to not feel mainstream, and that's always a plus for me.
The world of this game is fantastic. The play between magic and technology, and depth of the characters, and the range of options and what becomes accessible or not based on character design makes for potent replay value.
I grew so much through this world of Arcanum and learning from the Dwarves and Elves. The perspectives aren't just fantasty - it applies to our real world. And this was one of the first games I ever played where that bridge was connected.
King Loghaire, that wisdom of perspective you shared about humans and technology changed me forever.
I played this game before it was on Steam. Drog Blacktooth did so much work to patch it and unlock content that was trapped behind bugs and an unfinished project that the game was for its budget and timeline being cut short.
A beautiful game that still encourages the use of our imaginations for the low resolution of the graphics within it.
And the MUSIC!!!! That violin, oh, this is my all-time favorite game world. I hope we see more of it someday. If there were one VR immersive world I'd like to experience, I'd vote for this one.
I don't care for seeing the Madame's Brothel as the primary picture representing this game on the Steam store - though I appreciate the humor in it, it detracts from the AMAZING storyline and profound depth that this game contains.
A beautiful beautiful game that I will forever be grateful to have experienced.
Thank you :)
One of the very best
It's late in the afternoon, too early for evening, my mother's watching television in the living room nearby, and I'm about to put this goddamn game on again.
It's addictive and fun.
you can the sheep
It's 2024 and this is one of the best games I've ever played.
The unofficial patch is apparently a must (haven't tried it without) but is easy to download and there is a guide on steam. If you like Tides of Numera, Torment, Baldur's Gate 1+2 (clearly superior to 3) and like quests with a variety of solutions many of them not obvious or things you'd not expect to work for a game over 20 years old then I highly recommend. The combat is much much easier on turn-based but it's also not really why you should play the game. Save often because autosave is not a thing and the early game is arguably harder. The quests are really inventive, a surprising number of starting races and backgrounds but you can also easily pivot into other builds. I found the whole tech v magick lore interesting and every town was a new adventure. Oh and I think Steam didn't record my hours on this game correctly, I got at least 60 hours out of it. Not sure I'll play again soon but an evil run will be a possibility if the lack of good games in the 2020s continues. They simply don't make them like they used to.
