Lionheart is a hack-and-slash game of the highest order. It doesn’t aspire to anything more than what it is and so it completes its intended task admirably. The downside to this is that after even the first several battles, each new engagement seems rote and bland. What keeps you going is the wide array of quests and the promise of better items that could be lying just under the fog of war. Lionheart also maintains interest with its array of famous inventors, scholars, and adventurers brought together over time and geography by the Disjunction. There’s a lot of creativity in the background that keeps the game fresh and interesting as the story progresses.
