It rushes in places, and some characters are left undeveloped, but you can't really ask for much more than we get in a RTS, which is what this is. It is not really an RPG, though I think it would have been better if they embraced RPG more and RTS less. The voice acting is solid. The sound effects in general are satisfying. The score is good.Gameplay is meh. Pathfinding bugs get annoying, general Quality of Life observances are lacking, and having to restart a mission because your character inexplicably flew off a cliff is annoying. There are some strong bones here, but the delivery was too flawed to be called a 'good' game. There was a lot of promise though, and I look forward to more from the devs.

Although at times it jumps a bit through the book storyline, but hey its a game :) Talking about the game, thats not that good tbh. I like the map and how you are free to choose a path, and stuff that happens in between gives you actually some choices and they will have effect on events later. The combat is an intresting mix and the fights can be hard and unforgiving. Also i am not a big fan of real live action, that you have to pause every couple of seconds. Either make it that you can handle it live with sometimes a break or make a turnbased game. Not what they are using here. The biggest drawback of the game are the long loading times, and if they where sometimes, it wouldnt be a bug deal but there are a lot of them.

The graphics are awful, the load times are long, and it lags quite often. Despite all this, I beat the 8ish hour story in one day. The story isn't anything particularly special. It clearly takes a LOT of inspiration from Lord of the Rings. So why do I like it?The characters are a lot of fun. The combat (which was super confusing at first, mostly because it's much more simple than you expect) is serviceable and gets better when you get some more characters and abilities. The overworld is pretty interesting in that it's set out kind of like a game board you have to move across. You can move one "dot" at a time, often choosing between branching paths. Occasionally you'll come across random (they're not actually random) events that you'll have to deal with. Some of these play out by choosing dialogue options to resolve and sometimes you resolve the problem with combat. Some of them can be resolved with either, depending on your choices.Despite all its flaws I really enjoyed the game and its story. It left it open to a second game that can go a number of directions and I really hope they decide to make it one day.
