I've only gotten around to playing this FM - It's clear that the author has the talent needed to make a truly great mission given enough time but the humour, objectives and gameplay choices just don't do it for me, I loved the satirical take on Deadly Shadows and the little hub area at the start, but everything else fell flat for me. I'd love to...

I just finished this mission today and I must say its very cute and enjoyable. The atmosphere is great, reminding of The Dark Project and expecially The Sword mission. Was really a fun evening playing it! I did not find the mission that small there are a lot of buildings to explore in the city around the mansion we must visit. Also the mansion i...

The Darkstone Gem chapter 1 feels like a missed potential case. We’ve got a talented author, who’s capable of decent brushwork, but the campaign as a whole lacks momentum and fails to keep things interesting.

The writing across the series could use some better work, but the lack of it is most detrimental to the experience in the first mission...

This mission feels like the perfect choice for a cozy Sunday afternoon or evening, when you are up for something relaxing, familiar, and not overly challenging. In "The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living", our adventure begins in a tavern with some friendly AI (a typical early era FM trope). Then, we head out into the streets to loot various sh...

Commissioned to find a stolen painting, you infiltrate a cave complex inhabited by a gang of thieves. It's a simple setup, no fuss, just straight into the action. There's a lot of nice touches that emerge over the course of the mission: a really cool spider cave, the nasty things some of the thieves have been up to, and plenty of buried hidden l...

This mission was a nice experience for me in the first part, it's very well designed with nice visuals and good atmosphere. We have all the things specific to the pagan world: frogbeasts, treebeasts, monkeys, apebeasts and a lot more.
The first puzzle of the mission was not very hard to solve for me, it took time but i figured out pretty easily...

...masqueraded as a standard Thief level with guards and other expendables inherent to this particular engine. Question is, whether this puzzle on puzzle and if in doubt throw in more puzzle doesn't create a self-contained non-euclidean inverted space that is about to devour itself in a poof of non-calculable negative singularity (the end of whi...

I liked it. It's a small adventure, but crafted rather well outside a few crude and boxy zones. There's enough care put into the structure and interiors, so it doesn't look and feel too dull. It takes a bit of effort to reach some areas, which is a good thing.

The highlight is definitely the puzzle. One of the apples is placed in a strange lo...

I played this a while back so I thought I'd give it another try and see what I missed first time around.

I spent a lot of time exploring most of the buildings but still ended up 1000 short on loot and 2 secrets missed.

As always (in my experience) with Nicked's missions, almost faultless gameplay and atmosphere.

Due to my unreliable mem...

I played this mission a few days ago, it took me about 3 days to finish mostly because some parts of the mission are very hard and frustrating. Let's start with the Inn where the starting point is. If you draw any weapons and attack the inhabitants you fail the mission. But even after you exit the inn on the streets nearby if the inhabitants fol...
