This was initially a Czech rpg sequel Brány Skeldalu II: Pátý učedník before an English version was released in 2004. Help Engeor, a student at the University of Magic, save Rovenland from the evil wizard Wahargem. In the beginning of the game Engeor accidently says something against the evil wizard and finds himself in a prison camp. His first task is to free himself from the prison so he can continue on his journey to save his country and its inhabitants. The Fifth Disciple is a magical, fantasy adventure with RPG elements. The game is point and click and the puzzles are inventory based. The RPG elements are turn based combat and leveling up. The combat involves only magic spells and there are no weapons involved in the fighting and, since the combat is turn based, the player has plenty of time to select the best strategy to win the battle. When Engeor levels up, new spells can be selected or current spells can be strengthened. It's a fine synthesis of two popular computer game styles: point-and-click adventure and fantasy RPG. The game combines the two styles in a way very similar to table games where players are heroes who complete logic and story tasks as well as fight in battles with enemies. The game alternates between solving problems through objects and communication with other characters, and move-by-move battling. For every task solved and enemy defeated, Engeor is given additional experience, which can be used to improve one of 25 available spells. Those can be applied in the course of the game during combat as well as in the adventure parts. | ||
