The game commences with a standard character generation sequence, allowing you to choose humans or three of the human-esque hybrids on offer. These three hybrid races (Demokins, Sylvants and Feralkins) all provide different statistic boosts and drags for your characters abilities and skills. An example of this are the Feralkins – Strong and good at fighting, but lousy at magic. I’m sure you can imagine where this is going. As well as the races, you can add special skills and the like to your character, which also modifies your abilities. All this seems to have a very real effect on what your character (mine was bizarrely named ‘kruzerio’) is capable of within the world of the separate 16th century earth that Reflexive Entertainment has created for us.
