I’ll be blunt – I don’t like the minigames. It’s a bit bareboned, but a good point-and-click title doesn’t need anything more.īut developer Ars Goetia wanted to add something more, something that will spice up the gameplay. Still, the gameplay is very, very basic, which Frankly, I really appreciate. Well, it’s a little more than that, since you can choose which action you want to try and perform.
You point, you click, and hopefully, something cool happens. The game features really rudimentary point-and-click mechanics. It’s an adventure inspired by the themes and gameplay of such classics as Gabriel Knight and Broken Sword. The Blind Prophet isn’t an action game where you slay demons left and right. Still, even then, it was adequately climactic. I do remember it feeling a bit rushed towards the end as it scrumbles to tie up the story. I enjoyed following the plot while playing, but once the game was over, I stopped thinking about it. I love how the story keeps raising the stakes with every new demon it introduces and keeps you engaged with a dramatic and often bloody chain of events.Įven so, it isn’t very memorable. There are clear villains, lots of lore to draw from, and a great sense of progression between acts. The Blind Prophet’s world of demons and heavenly protectors is a suitable stage for a dark tale about the worst of humanity. Unsurprisingly, the story is the best part of the game.
From there, the story slowly unfolds into a supernatural mystery that puts us up against some of Hell’s most vicious and cunning denizens. He is also the character we are playing.Īs Bartholomeus, we arrive at Rotbork and immediately come up against the evil infesting the city in a short yet brutal fight that sets the tone for the rest of the game. He’s a bit like Geralt from The Witcher – stoic, aloof, and easily annoyed with people – though he’s much more chatty and expressive. Nobody except for Bartholomeus.īartholomeus is an immortal servant of God, sent to Earth to cleanse it of demonic influence. Violence, drug use, and corruption are rampant, and nobody seems to want to do anything about it.
