It's been about a month since the last Harbinger review, but a new one has popped up at Wargamer. There's no score, but overall there's a mildly positive tone:Harbinger isn't the best RPG fare out there, but it's certainly a different RPG fare. However, take away the giant spaceship motif (a dungeon), the armor and weapons of some of the bad guys (Orcs, Goblins, and the like), and the game is essentially a dungeon-crawl, complete with quests for valuable objects, barter for new weapons and armor, and acquiring crumbling tomes of old to learn more about the player's destiny in the game.
I didn't completely enjoy Harbinger, but strangely, I didn't completely detest it either. Players who enjoy very detailed RPG's might not find much challenge in Harbinger, but it certainly could be a good introductory adventure game for those seeking to expand their horizons. And, of course, any fan of science fiction RPG's might be drawn to this title as well. You can find it here. |
