And now think how the poor sods working on Stonekeep feel. How you've moved on to bigger and better things (rockhopper penguins, or whatever). Think what you were doing three years ago - something illegal with chickens, if our readers' poll is anything to go by - and think what you're doing now. Stonekeep is the game that's taking longer to arrive than a eunuch with prostate trouble. There are games that take a long time to appear there are games that take a bugger of a long time to appear and then, high above them, peeping out like an extremely high thing across a vast expanse of wittily thought of shorter things, is Stonekeep. By doing this, you can attack the ores, but they can't get at you.Įlsewhere we found bugs that wouldn't allow you to complete certain quests in the manner described by the game, as well as all kinds of weird graphical quirks. While desperately trying to fend off the attacks of two ore-type things our valiant reviewer (the ever-diligent Chris) discovered that you could confuse the enemy incredibly easily - all you have to do is hold down a direction key and spin around on the spot. The first, and probably most amusing of these is a rather strange bug we found in the combat system. Although there are far too many to go into in any great detail here, we feel that there are a few that we really ought to let you know about simply because they're so completely ridiculous! Now that the game has been out and on the shelves for a number of months, all kinds of bugs and spooky anomalies have come to light that we didn't find at the time of actually reviewing the thing. However, despite the almost soap opera-like series of previews that appeared across the years in PC and the very high level of anticipation for the product, it has to be said that the whole thing was ultimately disappointing. Defeat evil, reclaim your immortal soul and experience an adventure you will never forget.After four years In production it has to be said that Stonekeep met with something of a lukewarm reception when it finally arrived a couple of months ago.

You'll battle disembodied foes, rescue your allies from evil, liberate a massive dragon from bondage and discover an experience more realistic than you expected. Your hands will wield weapons of metal and magic. Your feet will walk the ancient corridors.
