You will start off in Northern Spain in the city of Nueva Barcelona, and go up through France and beyond. There are many areas to explore, including Inquisition Chambers, Mongol Camps and caverns controlled by Lycanthropes. The first half of the game takes place in Nueva Barcelona in which you can take on numerous side quests and meet many NPCs. It's somewhat reminiscent of Baldur's Gate 2. After questing in Nueva Barcelona for several hours, you are sent off on an important quest. Since you left the town, Lionheart shifts from a Baldur's Gate-type game into pure click-based hack-n-slash Diablo type game. So, If you are looking for an arcade style hack and slash game, that is easy to get into.
