From Velea Gloriana, "...I like that you can save the game at any point, and have multiple saves. If you mess up and have hours of gameplay to repeat, the only one you have to blame is yourself. And you can lose the game by being defeated in combat. There's no second chance other than going back to an earlier save and moving forward again from there. Yes, this is something I found out the hard way. When little Agavaen dies, she really dies. You have to return to the last point she was living to continue your story. So learn from my mistake and save often, either in a new slot or overwrite a previous one if the game is going well.
What makes Neverend different as far as I'm concerned is the storyline, and after all, that's what is important in a roleplaying game, right? The voice acting and graphics only add to a great story making the game as a whole a true winner in my book. I'll return to it often until I've finished the whole game, and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a game with a great story. The combat system isn't at all complex, there's no major loot hoarding, or having to worry about great gear. There's a spell system, but as I said, I haven't used it because I can't figure it out. Quite simply the game is what, at least to me, a RPG should be. A fun way to hear and experience a story."
