Betrayal in Antara

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Betrayal in Antara is a sequel and almost similar to the previous Betrayal at Krondor. The game tells twisty tale of ancient Antaran Empire. It has been created in the distant past with the most benevolent of intentions.

Players in this RPG assume the roles of 4 speaking characters. The characters are caught in a web of political intrigue, secret societies, racial hatred, and also in personal discovery.

The novelization of the game is really to be appreciated. It has interconnected chapters of experience and nifty flashback bookkeeping feature. These effectively sidesteps the wander-and-yawn frustration sometimes found in RPGs that have an especially wide focus.

The game also features a fair number of side quests and sub-plots. These usually determine whether the quest gamer feels either empowered or railroaded. The game also features third person. It has turn-based strategic combat. Players who are partial to magic will find the games skill-based magic system good.
