![]() ![]() System Requirements: Pentium III 750 MHz, 128 MB RAM, WinXP It’s an endless, bland one trick pony who overstayed its welcome a couple of levels in. None of it is of particular interest, boiling down to the essentials – exploring, picking up useful objects, using them, fighting, gaining extra powers/moves, more fighting, exploring, searching and more fighting. The same anemic approach can be found in the sound and music design, animations and gameplay. Massive changes in scenery throughout the 14 levels help keep things fresh – you’ll visit dark catacombs, bazaars, temples and medieval villages – but none of it looks particularly beautiful. But unlike Enclave, the visuals and level architecture are bland as all hell. Like Enclave, nothing here really entertains or makes me want to replay it. It’s just a shell of other better games, with elements taken and thrown together in an effort to make something passingly interesting. The action isn’t exactly broken, but nor is it ever inspiring or fun. ![]() Four weapon sets – swords, axes, bows and the staff – can be found and used with various combo moves, Divine Powers and Special Attacks. Different weapons get steadily unlocked as you hack your way through the levels, though the bulk of the game’s weapons are available quite early on. The focus is still on delivering an action adventure, with things to kill, doors to unlock and items to find. One can quickly spot the influence from Enclave. A Templar who goes by the unassuming name of Paul must put a stop to the plans of an evil Lord Bishop, fighting all manner of unholy spawn along the way. A couple of years later and we have Knights of the Templar, a game that mimics such titles as Blade of Darkness or Die By The Sword. ![]() The game itself, unfortunately, played terribly, with uninteresting melee fights and completely forgettable puzzles. It was a great looking action adventure with some fantastic animations, texture work and a simplified RPG framework. ![]() If you’ve ever heard of StarBreeze Studios, you might have played their previous game at some point – Enclave. ![]()
