A rather mixed bag is the review of Arcanum at Game Over. The rating (80%) is fairly high, but the author notes some flaws in the egine and the graphics, the latter can be found in this snippit:
Arcanum also has some problems with its graphics. The graphics engine looks like it’s three or four years old, which is bad by itself, but then Troika compounded the problem by making the characters and locations drab and lifeless. Even the spell effects are boring. Plus, there is surprisingly little detail in the graphics. Characters don’t have faces, and they only change appearance when they change their body armor. That’s especially disappointing in Arcanum, where you might have a character wearing a top hat and plate mail, which would be funny to see. |
