Ever
fancied being a traveller, moving from town to town trading
your wares? Well now you can, as well as travelling from
world to world. You'll get the chance to fight and trade your
way to fame and fortune embroiling yourself in the internal
struggle between good and evil...
Spells of Gold is a vast trading game, in the style
of the 1980s classic Elite. It sprawls across dozens
of worlds, inhabited by classic fantasy races and strange
and mysterious creatures unique to these lands.
The game features a dynamic financial model, simulating complex
fantasy economies where the player's own actions can be seen
affecting each local economy. As the game progresses, as your
wealth and renown build, and as your magical powers increase
and you complete more of the side-quests, your actions affect
far more than simply economies.
You're
going to need to sharpen your battle tactics as well. It's
no good travelling all over the universe, if you are incapable
of fighting off hostile forces. And your going to have the
be prepared to perform some menial tasks until your standing
as a serious trader starts to take off.
The
graphics are not bad, but the main problem is the long periods
of time where nothing much happens, the next you are in the
thick of the action. It's hard to recommend a game when you
spend most of the time doing nothing.
But
those who like strategy games will probably love this.
