Well, looks like this game didn't do so well, so I don't expect many people rushing into here, especially after reading the reviews.
Gameplay Monthly, C-. With all the complaints, Mage Knight Apocalypse is actually not a bad game. The game runs smoothly on most computers given that you may need to scale down the graphics and effects if you have older video cards. Gaining new skills and levels by repeatedly using the same skill over and over again makes this already 3D ARPG even more similar to Dungeon Siege. Unfortunately though, MKA wasn't able to surpass other ARPG titles with things that could have easily been fixed. Gameshark, B-. Sadly, minor technical glitches aren’t where the problems cease. Many of the skill sets seem to have minor bugs or glitches to them too. One example being my Dwarven “explosives” skill, which I badly wanted to bring up so that I could unlock some of the cooler higher-level skills. Unfortunately, even after loading myself down with enough tools of arson to make my fireball-wielding friend wary of being anywhere near me, and then expending all of it on one of the bosses, my experience bar for that skill hadn’t moved an inch – and refused to for the rest of our session, despite the use of explosives being the sole requirement of increasing this skill according to the description. The game also has something of a strange handling of loot management, in that the kind of loot you will get depends on the class you are playing. I guess it makes sense in some way, but I did need to spend a bit of extra time trying to figure out why my party never received any special-item loot that my own character could use in multiplayer, until we noticed it was because my crazed friend kept killing everything while I was constantly cowering in a corner waiting for my status bars to recharge (as part of my obsessive-compulsive “everything must be topped off” behavior).
