60 of 190 · most liked firstI could tell this is as good as Arcania. Pretty nice game. But I can not recommend this because it is too short. Stand-alone expansion for about 5 hours of gameplay. This should be included into Arcania or exist as DLC. This game will let you import your character from Arcania with full inventory and stats. Very good solution. Purchase of this game make sense only as a part of pack or on a sale.

I have amassed lots of extra Steam keys (some games I already have, some I'm just not interested in). I will keep adding to this list over the holidays, trying to get them to people who might use them. Note: I realize that I have many, many games available, and sometimes multiple keys for a game title, so you can request up to 5 games (in 1 message, please!) and at the end of the day I will allocate keys (randomly selecting if there…
unlabelledView post →Did it in 4.0 hours on normal difficulty, I think I completely explored the game and killed every single enemie, too. CLASSES: I started with the "Knight" class. "Mage" and "Hunter" are the other 2 available classes. MELEE WEAPONS & COMBAT: Weapons which apply burn or have life steal are just OP and get you through the game even easier than regularly. It's very easy to stunlock enemies by using a "Zweihänder" sword, I guess even a one handed would do, but I played with the two-handed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not even consider buying this abomination if it's not included in any bundle. This is a joke,not a standalone expansion.This game is so short that it should be released as an update to the original ArcaniA. In some RPGs single main quests take as long as this whole game does...it looks like they cut out a quest from the original game before its release and sold it as a standalone title.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✅I give it a positive review because I wanted to see how the story of the Nameless Hero would end. ✅Nice graphics ✅Soundtrack ✅We have equipment from the main game ✅Old friends in the location ✅The plot ending the story of the Nameless One ❌The add-on is very short ❌low level of difficulty ❌For me it is unacceptable that in RPG games there is a linear plot
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is how JoWooD ends. Not with a bang, but with a $15 expansion for a game nobody bought or liked very much that re-uses a lot of the same assets from the main game. Originally supposed to come out a few months after ArcaniA shipped, the expansion seemed to be destined never to come out until Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic) picked up a lot of JoWooD IP, along with ArcaniA, and put this out. FOS is basically the ending to ArcaniA, locked up behind $15. It takes place immeditely after the main…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply put, this game followed on from the main game brilliantly. Not as much to do in terms of storyline and sidequests, but I wasn't expecting it to be bigger and better than the first. The game continues from where you left off, keeping your character, levels, skills and any gear. Small maps make it slightly easier to go from point to point, kinda felt like the game was a little bit rushed, or not ironed out completely. A few minor glitches here and there, but all round, a good, fun game.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you thought Arcania: Gothic 4 was already a ♥♥♥♥ stain in the Gothic series, then Fall of Setarrif is the final nail in the coffin. This four hour long DLC somehow manages to strip even more depth and soul out of an already hollow experience. Do you enjoy fetch quests with absolutely no narrative payoff? What about invisible walls that guide you through narrow tube levels, designed to give the illusion of freedom while shuttling you from one mindless combat arena to the next? Then this game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arcania was bad, but this is worse. They cut content from the main game to make a separate game you have to pay for. GREEDY!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite some quirks it's still RPG worth checking out if you like the genre. This one is expansion so expect rather short gameplay. Some of the bugs have been patched. Generally not the worst RPG out there but very mediocre one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well this one’s a bit different, as an attempt to make up for lost time here is 8 works at once! This is the Arcania Crew - Detention Squad, all the PCs in my homebrew dnd in person game, more info under image!
unlabelledView post →Wow, I can hardly believe I managed to find something even worse than Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods. This game is a 5-hour long (if you kill every possible creature and pick up every possible plant), fully-linear (think CoD-level of linearity), laughably easy (even at the hardest difficulty level just keep pressing M1), extremely poorly-written, bug-ridden abomination. It even has a trap section near the end, which is about 5x less advanced than the trap sections in Gothic 1. Oh, and I got 70 fps on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif is undoubtedly a very special game. While it's difficult to recommend buying it, at least it's better than Gothic 3 and original ArcaniA simply because it made me smile quite a few times how terrible it is. Therefore you should not buy it, but if you got it in some bundle you might give it a try. The playthrough took me less than 2 hours, albeit some scripts must have broke in my game and ending cut-scenes never played. Voice overs, especially these of the enemies,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fall of Setarrif is apparently some cut content from the mediocre ArcaniA masquerading as a full game. I powered through it, listening to all dialogues and killing most monsters but not going out of my way for anything, in 2 3/4 hours. There may be 3 1/2 hours of content here if you REALLY scavenge every inch of the ultra-linear map for things to do. And by "things to do", I mean grabbing junk off of the ground, not side quests because I only encountered one in my (admittedly truncated)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →while i for one enjoyed this standalone expansion i agree with everyone else, the game was way too short the store page says Playing time: 4 – 8 hours (what a joke) but its really only around 2 1/2hours. they should of added this into arcania as a update or dlc instead of trying to milk full profit like its a full game. I would avoid this game unless its at least 75% off
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's kind of sad how ArcaniA turned out. I honestly think there was some potential for a sequel with how the original ended. But this is just poor in every possible way. There's nothing to admire here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What was this? No, seriously! What the hell did I just played? On Hard difficulty I finished the game in 3 hours! 3 HOURS!! Are you out of your mind? Just like Arcania this xpack is terrible, bland, charmless and a brainless hack and slash. Poor quality overall. Strongly recommend you stay away from this unless you can buy the Gold edition for like £6. Otherwise save your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I could not bring myself to play another instalment of this crap. Avoid it at all costs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you thought ArcaniA somehow needed less game, congratulations: Fall of Setarrif is here to answer the question nobody asked. I finished this thing in 100 minutes. That's not a typo. I've had character creators take longer than this expansion. This isn't an expansion, it's a side quest that escaped containment and got sold separately. Some of my favorite features: - the game proudly lets you import your endgame character from ArcaniA, then immediately starts handing out better gear,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasn't Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time? Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don't think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat. Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what's done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I'd choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that's the mainstream…
unlabelledView post →Well, the addition doesn’t really bring anything new in itself, if you evaluate it as a separate game, then it’s crap, if you evaluate it as an addition, then it’s an average game for a couple of hours, if you evaluate it as part of Gothic, then this is the maximum bottom! I recommend this addition only to fans of Arcania, unless of course there are others like that here,I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone, I liked Arcania as a standalone game, so I wrote a positive review! ⠀⠀⠀⠀…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SHORT REVIEW RIP OFF ALERT! - DO NOT BUY THIS “GAME”! This is presented as a full game and is being sold at a full game price. In reality it nothing more than a pretty short DLC for Arcania that has been packaged with its own launcher for some unknown reason. This should have been a free upgrade to the original Arcania or at the very least sold as a DLC, trying to dress this up as a full game is a con. What follows is pretty much the same review I posted for Arcania as all this is a small…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game isn't worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Expansion Review Im quite surprised that the base game got even an expansion considering the game was a massive flop. Now im quite certain they made the expansion already during or right after release to cash in some money. Expansion can sometimes add cool new ideas that werent implemented or a storyline that was planned but didnt quite fit into the base game. Content Suprise or to no surpise the expansions adds nothing new. There are no real new enemies except the final boss and some new…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In spite of my negative review for Arcania, my review for Arcania Fall of Setariff is positive (or at least positive enough). My judgement probably depends on the fact that Arcania was such a huge disappointment that the small improvements that I was able to experience made this chapter partially enjoyable. Anyway… PROs: • At the beginning you can choose to export your old character from Arcania to this new chapter. Most of the items previously owned are available. • The map was improved…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs better than the base game because the automatic V-Sync works this time around, but man is it short, and not even worth a play-through if bought on sale. I did enjoy this more than the base game, and the story is very straight forward, but it is also extremely pointless and nonsensical, even if one did not pay attention to it like I did. Sadly, one should beat the base game before playing this one so they can import their save file and fly through this game if they are sadistic enough to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fall of Setarrif is probably the most sorry excuse of an addon I personally have laid eyes upon. No wait, the sorriest is actually Forsaken Gods for Gothic 3, but this comes in very close. The "addon" basically is nothing more than a 2-3hour premium priced actual ending to the absolute letdown of Arcania. While finishing the story for good, there is little to no content in this self proclaimed addon which has probably even less content than many DLC which are priced a third of the asking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended if you own Arcania and get it on sale. More an extension/final chapter than a standalone game. Good for 8-12 hours of gameplay. Has the same strengt's and weaknesses than Arcania.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely linear, extremely short, extremely tedious. This really is the last chapter of Arcania separated into a standalone expansion. It takes all the worst parts from the latter half of the original game - boring environments, endless tunnels, unchallenging combat - and doesn't offer anything new. Even the boss fight is a lame rehash of the one in Arcania. Took me a measly 3.4h to complete, and I explored every nook and cranny I could find.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GAME KEEPS CRASHING EVERY FEW MINUTES EVEN GOT LIKE CRASH AFTER RESTART AND PICKIGN CONTINUE LIKE 4 TIMES IN A ROW
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOOD SOLID 5 TO 6 hours of fun, runs smoothly. old school RPG, catch on sale well worth a play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You can consider this separate game as a side B of the original Arcania. It is not longer that 4-5 hours and it's all about killing the demon that escaped at the end of ArcaniA.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed the base game Arcania (although it was far from perfect) so when I heard there was an expansion I was interested in playing it to continue the story. Unfortunately this laclustre effort turned out to be a cheap cash grab by the developer. Usually a stand-alone expansion provides enough content to justify playing it as its own game. Not here. The feature list of the game says it provides 4-8 hours of content which seems accurate, I finished the game in 5.7 hours apparently but this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What to expect: [ X ] interesting story [ X ] decent world [ X ] fluent/dynamic combat What not to expect: [ X ] a long, big adventure [ X ] side quests [ X ] improvements/something different over the previous installment Who it's aimed for: [ X ] fans of fantasy rpg's [ X ] fans of the previous ArcaniA game and the original Gothic series Did I enoy it? [ X ] Yes, but it was way too short and lacked overall depth and innovation. Could have been more overall. Not worth the full price!…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well....this is the first time I play this series. I don't know what I am playing, I hvn't even need to try the craft system. And the poor battle, I don't even know I am killing the final boss until the ending scene come up. I thought it was some generic demonic enemy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game had so many problems with is it should be burned from existance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this "game" has reached two points in the ruins of Setarrif where it crashes and I can't continue. nobody really played this piece of ♥♥♥♥ so there are no fixes I can find. bummer, because I do like to finish games, no matter how much they suck. and this ♥♥♥♥ does suck. it should never have been released as a standalone expansion. definitely reeks of scummy publisher practices, especially when the base game literally ends on a cliffhanger so this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can exist.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ArcaniA: Leftovers This is a standalone expansion that picks up the story immediately after the ending of the main game. However, it feels far more like a short, underwhelming DLC than a proper expansion, ultimately lacking in both quality and quantity. I can only recommend this to die-hard fans of ArcaniA. Pros: You can transfer your character directly from the main game. Great soundtrack and decent voice acting. Decent combat mechanics, responsive controls, and good optimization. Cons: It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif is a standalone expansion to ArcaniA, developed by Spellbound Entertainment and later distributed by THQ Nordic as part of modern re-releases. Released in 2011, the expansion continues the storyline introduced in ArcaniA and focuses on the consequences of the events that concluded the main campaign. Rather than offering a massive new open world, the expansion provides a smaller and more focused adventure centered around the troubled city of Setarrif and the lingering…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a short standalone expansion, obviously the same as arcania essentially, and if I couldn't recommend the base game, won't recommend this either. it's standalone only in the sense that it's not dlc for some reason, so you can run it on its own but playing it without arcania would be stupid and pointless. well, it's both those things regardless, so unless you've already played the base game, got pissed off by the cliffhanger and just want the rest of the story, this will only take a few hours…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arcania: Fall of Setarrif is unable to bring anything new in the Arcania universe. Same combat, same objects, smaller locations and lesser graphics make this experience a flat promenade toward an (again) unsatisfying final.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although the game and its mini expansion lack Gothic 1 and 2's depth and focuses on action and completing MMO-like quests, they are fun to play with better gameplay and interface, while their humorous moments hit the target. I enjoyed exploring the island of Argaan as an archer. 🏹🎯 However, even on Gothic difficulty, both titles are easy and I finished them with tons of potions, food, crafting materials and elixirs left. After all, the countless chests and herbs and other kinds of items to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a Gothic game for modern casual playerbase. The upcoming Gothic 1 remake will have much more in common with this game rather then with original title
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slop. A completely unnecessary addition to a game which was unnecessary itself.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No freedom, no exploration, no good way to travel. A sad game all in all
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strata czasu tak jak i podstawka
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, the expansion is better than the basic game, although short, but interesting, I recommend buying it for pennies and playing it for a long time without it being turned on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →alot of fun wish there was more dlc's or a 3rd chapter
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only buy on sale, it is short and the combat is even easier than the first game even on the supposed hardest difficulty (Gothic difficulty) but still provides a conclusion to the main game that is worth playing after completing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A terrible wankfest to laugh at for 2.5 hours (on "Gothic" difficulty, mind you, a word that should never be near this series anyway). Lore is at the level of Forsaken Gods. Gameplay boils down to "painstakingly waste your time on same enemies" or "simply rush through them" because all that matters is you pulling a lever or opening a door to continue. Final boss is a frustrating mess and the only relatively difficult part of the game for all the wrong reasons, with minions that are more of a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not worth the money. If you buy the whole bundle of gothic games, the first 3 are worth it. this is just some extra baggage, that you're gonna look at for a while and then throw away. Again, buy this only in a bundle and on sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not much of a challenge since I beat it in 13 hours of play time. It was a complete waste of money and time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When it was new, I would not have recommended it, cutting off the ending of a game and selling it seperately is bad business practice. If you get it in a bundle go for it though, it's a little more of the same and you can play as some OG characters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now this is a stand-alone expansion to ArcaniA. This has good and bad issues. Good issues include being able to import your ArcaniA character in. It also has the same gameplay experience as ArcaniA. That said, the bad issues mostly center around two things: length and price. Technically, the same issue: too short for the price. As such, while I recommend this game, it is with the caviat that you should get it on discount. And in the ArcaniA bundle (or the Gothic + ArcaniA bundle, though a few…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't understand why this title is getting hated on so hard (worst game, worst expansion, etc). In a world of lootboxes, ingame purchases, and countless DLCs that offer way less content, this is actually quite a decent piece of story, albeit very short (3-6 hours of gameplay). How on earth could anyone rate this lower than Gothic3: Forsaken Bugs is beyond me. While a definite cash grab for a full price, If you liked original game, get it on sale and enjoy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is Arcania: Fall of Setarrif ? Fall of Setarrif is an standalone expansion to the game Arcania, but it feels like it was actually part of Arcania's end-game or simply a final chapter that got chopped out and sold separately because of how rushed and poorly made it is, you can finish this ''expansion'' in just 2 hours and it was supposed to load your arcania save and transfer it to this one so once you start you keep all your character's progression but for some reason it barely works and…
