Couldn't find their official trailer so had to use one from Machinima, what's with companies not having trailers for their own games on their accounts?
This comes from inXile Entertainment the team bringing us Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera, so it's really great to see them give us even more support bringing some older titles our way to make our game libraries even bigger.
I recognise the name of this one but I have never played it myself, what are your thoughts on it? Let us know in the comments!

The comedy style was somewhat amusing and the focus on bard music was also a nice idea but the gameplay became *VERY* repetetive after an hour or two. An endless parade of hack & slash with very little story and almost no "typical" rpg-mechanics like charater building, random exploration, inventory management etc. etc.
