Sound: Some rousing adventure music but terrible voice acting.Įnjoyment: One of the most enjoyable adventure games you'll ever play. Graphics: A completely engrossing 3D world. It's one of the most enjoyable adventure games you'll ever play. Whether you're exploring ancient Dwarven ruins, crossing treacherous waters or joining an underground rebellion against the empire, The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard will sweep you up and never let go. But even these flaws aren't enough to negate Redguard's nearly endless list of positives. For example, if the governor's soldiers are pursuing you, they won't follow you into a building or cut your rope as you swing across a pit of molten lava. The other obvious problem is its poor enemy AI. While the background sounds and in-game music is excellent (the soundtrack is a perfect fit for the game's atmosphere), the voice-overs are noticeably uninspired. Its one real weakness is the voice-overs. This is the game that Mask of Eternity should have been. Add a 3D accelerator to your repertoire and Redguard becomes the ultimate virtual adventure. And the controls, including the choice of keyboard or joystick, are practically flawless. The beautifully rendered 3D environment gives you a freedom of non-linear movement previously only dreamt of in adventure games.

Perhaps a three-against-one battle to the death with the empire's soldiers while the provisional governor looks on? If you can dream it up, chances are you'll find it in Redguard.įrom the moment you set foot on the island of Stros M'Kai, it's clear that Redguard is something special. There are sword fights galore but it doesn't stop there. Redguard remains faithful to the puzzle-solving formula made famous by Sierra but also offers plenty of reflex-based action to satisfy more adrenaline-endowed gamers. It's a near-perfect marriage of the two genres - a thinking man's action game. You're frequently called upon to jump, run, swim and slash your way to safety but the action is nicely offset by clever puzzles and a deep, sprawling storyline. Similar to King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, it's essentially a classic adventure game disguised as a neo-Tomb Raider. If you take your action and adventure with a sprinkle of intrigue and a twist of cliche, you'll enjoy Redguard from start to finish.
As Cyrus, a disillusioned young Redguard mercenary in search of his missing sister, you must confront your own shortcomings while exploring your conquered homeland and waging a one-man war against an entire empire. If that's true, then Bethesda Softworks has covered all the bases with Redguard, a swashbuckling adventure game set in the world of The Elder Scrolls Adventures (of Daggerfall and Battlespire fame). It has been said there are only three types of stories: man vs.
