The page also tells you your experience level and how much you need for the next level. The statistics page allows you to view your current skill in a variety of areas from combat to spell casting. To view your characters statistics, spell casting page or inventory, put the cursor over the character until an eyeball appears and the click. There are a lot more symbols that pop up when you are in combat, but I will come to that later. To talk to someone, you point at them and if a pair of lips pop up you can talk to them, or when you move the cursor over a door or a desk drawer, a hand will appear if you can open it up. There are a few keys you can use to do things such as switch the camera angle, or fast keys for casting spells or picking up items at your feet. The interface is mostly a point and click system. I don’t have a preference between the two, as I enjoyed playing both games, I am just noting the differences. This is completely different from the original game where you actually walked around the countryside and the map was only for reference. As a little hint, I strongly recommend exploring – – you don’t always find something, but when you do, it will be worth it. You may chose to explore sectors on the map or go back to the map interface. When you journey outside the city, you see a big map and you can move to certain points on the map. Going back to the starting city for a moment, the city is divided into sectors like the poor sector, the wealth sector, or the Sea gate and you can walk around in each sector freely or switch sectors by going into the map and clicking on a new sector. The detail on a character’s face, for example, is good enough that you can see movement of the lips or perhaps a flash of a tooth when someone is talking to you. On the other hand, the graphics are much better than Alone in the Dark. Thus, I could not pick up his or her stuff and sell it at the store. My only problem with this is that several times, when I killed a bandit, the body would fall in such a way so that I could not see it. There are two keys that allow you to change the camera angle, where available, and as a hint this often reveals a chest of something that you can not otherwise see.
It is a lot easier once you get out into the countryside. For the most part I got used to this in the first chapter, but every once in a while, I would have to stop and reorient myself, even later on in the game. You can be walking down a street, away from the camera, and suddenly your walking right towards the camera. It reminded me a lot of Alone in the Dark and it takes a bit of getting used to, especially in the city, which is where you start. Return to Krondor uses a camera angle view system. One nice feature is that the game saves itself at the beginning of each chapter, above and beyond allowing the player to save and quick save the game at any point other than in the middle of combat. The game is divided into chapters, and there is a one-page introduction at the start of each chapter that is read by Pug, a character that gaming fans will remember from Betrayal at Krondor. I don’t like to spoil the plot so I am going to limit what I say about Return to Krondor in this area, but I do have to say that it’s as good as one of the best selling books. In my book that’s all that needs to by said, but for those of you not familiar with his work, he is the author of The Magician: Apprentice and the Magician: Master, originally one book, as well the author of the Riftwar and Serpentwar Sagas.īetrayal at Krondor was the first computer game bases on the Riftwar Saga. The story behind Return to Krondor was written by best selling author Raymond E. And if you enjoy either of the Krondor games, you will really like it.

It is not part of the official Krondor series but it is a lot of fun. It is worth noting that there is also an interim game put out by Sierra called Betrayal in Antara.

Return to Krondor is the official sequel to Betrayal at Krondor, a really fun game that I enjoyed when it first came out, and then again a few months ago when I downloaded it for free from the Sierra web site.
