Character Development:
My character being some demon blood thing, got an ability at level 5 where I could transform into a demon. I can only explain this transformation as laughable, as when I transformed, it first deleted parts of my body (the head first, so you would see a torso moving) then this thing from swamp thing would suddenly just appear out of thin air! No animation or anything, just *PLOP* oh look, it’s swamp thing!

Being the demon, I got bonus stats but I was still swinging this unsavory broken oar at monsters and pirates alike. To say the least, I looked absolutely ridiculous. Other than an appearance, I really didn’t gain a benefit from being a “demon”. No special feats or abilities, just the same old me. Maybe later I’ll get some more? Who knows. Speaking of feats, there were a few that I gained along the way including some fire breath spell which had NO animation at all.

Questing:
So, back to the island. After making the pirates and crocodiles my personal bitches, I went over and started the quest to gain entrance to the city. The first quest was freeing this woman from chains that literally block entrance from the rest of the island. I talk with her and she tells me about some ******* who tied her up, and to go kill him for the key. Well lo’ and behold, the son of a bitch just spawns right behind me after talking with her, but I didn’t run into this guy during the escapade of killing countless pirates and crocs? Unbelievable.

Well he goes down in a few swings from my might oar and swamp thing, and I get the key off him. Another concept that I’m greatly disappointed with is the loot system. When you kill something whether it be a pirate, a crocodile or some other wild animal, it drops a perfectly knitted bag (that’s graphic has gold in it btw) which you obtain useless items such as “gold teeth”. Why the hell can’t I loot the pirates clothing and their weapons? I mean don’t get wrong, this oar is bad ass but still….

So yeah, I’m cruising around in this jungle with this dumb girl following me around (and not assisting me in the battles AT ALL other than to scream when I enter them and clap when I finish them), and I finally end up at a “BOSS”. It’s the fat slave driver that everyone’s been talking about apparently, and after we exchange a few words (and his life is ended by swamp thing) I get the key to complete the quest, and I am awarded a weapon I cannot use. Amazing.

The slave woman talks for a bit, then leaves me telling me that the town is just up ahead. After killing some more useless NPC’s I make my way to the town and am promptly told by the gate guard that I cannot enter (being a slave and all), but I should talk with the blacksmith who just happens to be outside the city wall. So I run over to the blacksmith and he agrees to cut my chains off if I get him some bricks to complete a wall he’s making. I agree and run over (about 5 feet I’m serious) and gather the bricks then return to him. He cuts the chains off and I’m able to enter the city! Woot!

More Questing:
Only to find out that I have to complete another question from the gate guard to give a note to some broad. So I do that, and then she gives me a quest to wait until dark, and speak with some old lady. So I DO that and the old lady tells me all about who I am, and what I should be doing (you know, the typical Ms. Cleo stuff) and informs me that I must yet return to the girl and talk with her. Alright, so after all this walking, I finally get the quest chain completed, and I get a new weapon. Hurray, I think? I really just wanna exit the game……..

Conclusion:
So after playing for about 2 hours, I must say that I am definitely not impressed. Now before I go out on a limb here and say this game is another stupid attempt at a ground breaking game, I will continue to play it and further my travels.
