Mage Knight: Apocalypse Reviews

As a Diablo-style click-fest dungeon crawler, Mage Knight never aspires to be particularly complicated, which is fine. It's got a good statistical progression system, lots of skills for players to choose from, plenty of items to chase after, and diversions like forging and potion creation. Unfortunately, the game suffers from all around poor AI, several bugs like being able to blast spells through doors, and an all too beneficial save-respawn system that make it incredibly easy to beat. The derivative storyline and awful voice acting don't help either. Despite the numerous multiplayer and single-player features built in to extend the game's replay, you won't really want to utilize them. Mage Knight is a mediocre game that gets old after a few hours.
And the second is at Games Radar with an overall score of 4/10:
Devotees of this universe's mix of fantasy staples and steampunk gadgetry might find themselves unable to resist Mage Knight: Apocalypse's dubious lure, and may even enjoy the game's character-building freedom if an effective patch comes along, but they aren't likely to stay enamored for long when this holiday season's bigger and better RPG offerings finally appear.
