    FEATURES

    Beyond Divinity is the widely anticipated follow up to Divine Divinity, a PC computer role-playing game that has been receiving universal praise. Developed by Larian Studios’ Divine Divinity took players on a fantastic quest in a land torn apart by corruption and dark magic. By combining the best features of the RPG genre, and introducing a host of new features, Divine Divinity appealed to both hard-core and new RPG players. Not resting their laurels, Larian Studios’ have now expanded the Divinity universe and created Beyond Divinity, a new breathtaking journey that will delight fans of the original while appealing to new audiences at the same time.

    You are a servant of the Divine - scourge of necromancers and sorcerers alike. Your purpose in life is to fight all that is evil using any means possible. Your dilemma… during an intense battle with one of the great necromancers, a demon drags you into its universe. There you are soul-forged with a Death-knight. You are cursed and destined to spend the rest of eternity bonded to this creature of evil.

    Or maybe not….
     
    The Death-knight dislikes the soul forging as much as you do and together you embark on a great adventure. You both have a common goal… to undo the soul forging. You and your unlikely companion quickly figure out that the only way to rid this curse is if you unlock the secret of riftrunning – an ancient art that allowed the prison universe’s indigenous population to travel between universes.

    Your quest is set: To become a Riftrunner!

    This is an excellent old-school RPG, and its entertainment value against todays offerings still holds strong. Beyond Divinity has nice graphics for its style and the controls are similar to other isometric games of its type, with the exception of your two-player control system, which is fairly easy to adapt to (especially if you're used to the odl Black Isle style of games.) Game has an excellent mix of story, combat and exploration. If you like the isometric style of RPG and haven't played this one yet, you definitely should! As a side note, I am running this on an Acer netbook and it works perfectly (after some resolution adjustments), so those of you with older systems or obsessed like I am with having a few games for on-the-go can load this one up on the netbook or cheap laptop.

    I was looking for an old school RPG game (i am a fan of ultima 7). I read good reviews about this game so i decided to give it a try. Well... I am disapointed. First, the voice acting is awfull, really too cheesy. The sounds and graphics are not great also. I also have a stupid bug in the inventory interface. I have a buckler and a nice body armor that i cannot equip with. I don't know if it is because it was too long time ago i played ultima 7, but in my memories, that games (sounds, story and graphic) was much more immersive that Beyond Divinity So anyway, after 2-3 hours playing, i just uninstalled the game.
