In the depths of the wilderness, the village of Nethergate, forgotten and ignored, is hatching a conspiracy. They will conspire with the faery kingdoms, the dark, secret, wild powers, to destroy their Roman conquerors. Magic is dying, but there is enough of it left to put an end the the Empire. Your job is to help them.
Or, your job is to stop them.
In Nethergate, the newest role-playing game from Spiderweb Software, the makers of the award-winning Exile series, you can play as either the Romans or the Celts, seeing both sides of this epic battle. The quests, puzzles, and the way the characters react to you will be completely different. It’s like two games in one!
No matter which side you play, Nethergate has beautiful 3-D graphics, an elegant interface, a huge world, based on historical research, and dozens of cunning towns, fortresses, and dungeons. Nethergate has dozens of characters and over 150,000 words of plotting and dialogue, designed to immerse you in a strange, magical, lost world.”
Another thing that really makes Nethergate enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Nethergate. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
