Your character is immortal, and if you are defeated in combat you get a tiny slap on the wrist (which may not be anything at all, depending on how many items you found on that particular adventure).Speaking of "adventure," the game has only one mechanic: click to start the fight. Each fight is automatic, with zero input from you. All you have to do is decide whether to fight the next enemy or to run back to town and heal. That is the entire game. I have played far more complex high-school coded flash games. The list of reasons not to play does not end there, though. The enemy design and "animations" are exceptionally poor. English language errors appear on nearly every sentence (this was NOT proofread), Sound frequently swaps left\/right channels. A skill which purports to do damage does not do damage.I have no idea how such a one-dimensional, thoughtless, sophomoric title got the Dark Eye name behind it, but your time and money are far better spent elsewhere.. I enjoy all of the games set in the world of The Dark Eye; except for this one. Why? Well, there is almost no story to speak of, and the game seems to be only superficially related to the world of Aventuria as far as I can tell, but the main problem with this game is the excessive degree of grinding required to reach the end. By level 50 or so, you have to literally fight dozens upon dozens of battles which don't give you ANY experience (enemies 10 levels below your character don't offer experience), which wouldn't be so game-breaking if you the shopkeeper offered weapons that were anywhere near as good as the ones you find along the way. You essentially have no way to improve your chances for later battles. I can't count how many times I've fought through over 80 enemies (none of them giving me XP) only to face one or two that DO give XP and then die shortly thereafter to begin the grind again. On my last run, I fought over 300 enemies without gaining experience! This is unforgivable game design in my book. It wouldn't be so bad if you could skip past the many experince-less battles to the enemies that you are "on par" with (who are all MUCH stronger than you), or if varying your strategy actually made a discernable different to the outcomes of battles. I only held out as long as I did in hopes of getting the last achievement for Steam...As much as I wanted to enjoy this, I can't recommend it. Maybe if it's on sale for a huge discount and you're extremely bored.... Boring, disengaging gameplay coupled with an insanely stock storyline, this is a tiring sit for all the wrong reasons and the price it's currently for (\u00a31.74) is arguably too expensive for what amounts to something less complex than what would be found on Newgrounds 10 years ago. 1 One shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.2 One shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.3 One shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.4 One shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.5 One shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.6 Two shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.7 Two shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.8 Two shoot the monster \/ loot \/ next.9 Be one shoot by the monster \/ restart the level \/ Goto 1.Wast of money.. Cons:- This *not* a rogue-like game. It's just a sequence of combats reminiscent of about a gazillion generic flash games.- After a while it degrades into a grind of one-hitting until the opponents get so strong that you have to retreat and start the next grind.- "The Dark Eye" universe is far away. Maybe a thing or two taken from there but that's about it.Pros:+ Graphic style is quite nice but not contributing to the gameplay.. I was excited about this game, becausse it gave off the false impression that I would be exploring dungeons, in a typical rogue style.Unfortunately, all you get to do in this game is equip things and watch your hero do exactly what you told him to in advance. For 100+ 'dungeons' which don't even have maps, because you can't explore them.0\/10 stars. awful gameplay, awful art, awful music. awful.. ***WARNING!!!*** Make a profile first thing, or try exiting the game after the tutorial. Whatever you do, DO NOT click on "Options" and then "Profiles" if you have NOT made a profile yet. See the picture below:http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=435057768You might be able to "Exit" the game from the "Options" menu and it might ask you to save, but if you accidentally go into the "Profiles" menu without first making a profile, you are out of luck! Now that I made a new character profile, the game boots directly into the "Profiles" menu so you can either create a new profile or load an existing one. This should have been the default for the very first time you play! I lost over 100 minutes and my first character by doing this. Once you enter the "Profiles" menu, there is NO way to exit it without either creating a new character or loading your previous character which didn't exist for me yet. If you do not make a character profile first and save your game, you risk losing all of your progress! All of your hard work might be lost! My advice to the developer(s), make it so the first thing you do is create a freaking profile and save file! Also make it so the "Escape" key exits out of the "Profiles" menu without having to make any choices. How did you NOT think of this? Terrible, lazy programming IMO. What were you thinking? Or maybe you weren't thinking\u2026 Please fix the profile problem!!! Skilltree Saga is a pure character builder and a major grind-fest, which is okay with me! I WAS having a pretty good time! As you level up, you feel stronger as you progress with every level and new items. The fighting does take some strategy, but only arranging your skills in what order they will be used. All fighting after that is automatic. As with many RPG type games, the fun is in leveling up and finding new gear & loot! This game does that well, but the fighting aspect will turn off most gamers.I cannot recommend this game until the profile problem is fixed! I am not sure why no one else has complained about this. I assume if you "Exit" the game from the "Options" menu, it will ask you to save the game. I don't know for sure though. It now boots into the "Profiles" menu at startup so I can start a new game or load a previous one. Again, why isn't the game setup like this the first time you play dev's???I had to force quit the game and lost everything. I couldn't get out of the "Profiles" menu and my only other choice was to create a new profile stating it would wipe out my previous progress anyway! I force quit hoping there was a save file somewhere that would load the next time I started the game. There wasn't. So, I lost everything I did in the first 100+ minutes! :-(Here are my system specifications: Apple iMac, i5 Quad-Core Intel processor 3.1GHZ, AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB dedicated video RAM, 4GB system RAM, 1TB hard drive running OS X version 10.6.8, Journaled HFS+ Extended file system, Logitech optical mouse.Edit: I started a new character "Profile" and saved it! Now I am in the second of the three areas having fun again. As I said, Skilltree Saga is strictly a character builder. There is not much of a story and all the battles are 1 vs 1. It's like a game you might see on something like FaceBook, minus the IAP micro-transactions. It looks like it would be very easy to include IAP though, and at some point it might. Anyway, it is a "very" casual game that requires just a few mouse clicks and not much brain power to play. I like it because it is a character builder with random encounters. weapons and items. There are Elite and Boss fights throughout, which ramp up the battles. That is about as much Rogue-Like (or Lite) as this game gets. There is no perma-death. If you lose a battle, you just end up back in town, but you do lose the items you found during that dungeon run... You do get to keep the experience that you earned though, so you do keep leveling up even if you keep losing the battles.I give it 5\/10 for effort... And because I'm still playing it after 7+ hours... :-) I still cannot recommend this game to everyone. Most people will disagree with me already! Maybe at $5 or less... If you like building characters and don't mind the "mindless" gameplay, then check it out on sale ONLY!!!Edit: I am still playing this game after 8+ hours strait and plan on playing some more, so I guess I like it! lol. The entire game is a boring grind. Very little back story and very little actual game play. If this game was free it still would not be worth downloading.. Not worth it for any amount of money. Basically all you do is click the same button over and over again, and all the classes are basically the same.
