Death Gate is a great fantasy adventure based on best-selling novels by
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. As young Haplo, member of the despised Patryn race,
you are tasked with finding all pieces of the World Seal to avenge your people and
free them. While similar to other Legend's graphical adventures, Death Gate broke
new grounds with an ingenious spellcasting interface that is superbly integrated into
the game engine, and required to solve many puzzles. The storyline is strong,
although a little too simplistic given the rich fantasy world of the books. Death
Gate is also notable for being the first Legend game to feature truly exceptional
voice acting - among the best of its kind. With excellent writing, challenging but
not-too-difficult puzzles, and a very high production value with respect to SVGA
graphics and voice acting, Death Gate is one of Legend's finest and most underrated
games. A must-have. |
