Dawn of Darkness review
By: Cedric

Story:
A warlock speaks about the awakening of the true 'leader' of the world.
He says that an apocalypse is coming, and so is the 'dark sun' hence the
name.

The first thing you notice when you start playing is the amazing ability
to choose a difficulty level. You don't see very much of this, and it is
a nice idea. There are wonderful 3D images here as well. The maps are mostly
well done and the author has a nice event setup so that when you go to sleep
and wake up early the next morning in the beginning, everyone's doors are
closed and still sleeping. The save spot idea with the camping area is
a good added bonus as well. Most of the music fits in with the mood of the time
in the game. The switching between different stories and different characters
in the same world is smoothly and wonderfully done. The puzzles are nice
and difficult.

There is that weird bug at the beginning for the message which takes
away from the title screen. Some of the speech doesn't make sense, or
sounds a little ridiculous. This is another game that uses the Mosaic
choice for screen switching in battles. And yet again, it gets tiresome
to wait for the mosaic to switch screens. I noticed some map and event
flaws, but nothing too drastic.
