Learning about choices in Risen’s launch trailer

I’m not going to sugar coat this: Risen looks like a poor man’s Fable. In fact Risen doesn’t look like it’s going to be doing anything that earth shattering at all. However, if you’re in the mood to play a traditional Western RPG it could be just the ticket for you as this launch trailer clearly and obviously demonstrates.

All the cliches are there: choose your own path, save the world, hack at enemies, cast magic spells, airy female voice narrating. If you buy this game and don’t know what to expect after watching this trailer, then you need some serious help in identifying your gaming genres and knowing what you get out of them. If you still haven’t got a grasp on what the game is all about, you can check out our preview of it.

Now you know everything. Go forth and make purchasing decisions if you see it in the store.
