60 of 187 · most liked firstEn enjoyable if average hack and slash. I played and beat the game while listening/watching podcasts/vids so it's a really good for multitasking since it's basically just brainless smashing of baddies across different stages. RAW has good variety and I had fun the whole way through using a very tanky build for my warrior with an escape skill if I ever got surrounded by too big of a mob (which was really only an issue early on in the game, properly built the warrior basically becomes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK, I do not write reviews, never have and probably never will again. I do not understand why everyone seems to put this game down. If you configure the game (Not a separate program like someone stated) and set the controls correctly it works just great. It doesn’t crash, it doesn’t lag and it plays on windows 10 just fine. So, make this my first review, the games fine to play. So, go and Hack and Slash till you’re feeling good or bad or whatever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hack and slash that is far from being refined however still delivers some decent experience. Take on a missions, find new equipment and fight your way through the hordes to the next area. Plays ok and have some arcade values but at the same time feels a bit basic. Definitely a lot better for coop but also much easier that way (just ramp up that difficulty level). Controls are ok and works well with a controller. There's no dashing which is a big con for me as you can't avoid danger swiftly.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My buddy and I had a great time playing this one together... took us about 25 hours to get through the whole thing, and we didn't fret too much over finding every little nook and cranny, but we're probably a little more methodical than most (i.e. slow). We played a couple areas multiple times to beef up a bit for the next area, but not enough to be annoying. I detest games that make me do the same stuff over and over. The game is nothing super-duper regarding story, graphics, sound,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute travesty and abomination, there exists a distinction between disliking a game due to its elements and being genuinely angered by it. Despite enduring a few play sessions, the game failed to launch after the 5th or 6th attempt. To elaborate, it would initiate with a brief introduction of the studio's name only to abruptly display a message stating, "Game settings are not compatible" or something of the sort. Despite scouring various forums, a viable solution eluded me. It seems…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This small-studio Action RPG sticks to its guns and keeps it lean and mean, focusing on hitting the mark in lieu of overaiming for a miss, and hit the mark it does, in what I would consider Wizarbox's swan song. What could be looked at as a mediocre also-click among giants of the ARPG genre in one light, can also be viewed as a triumphant first outing in another. Sure, innovation goes a long way, but the gaming landscape is littered with a littany of titles whose ambitious and inspired…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks quite nice, but that is it. I could not even make it to 90 minutes of play. It's just that bad. I played as the archer, though 90% of the time, I used her daggers. Mobs bum-rushing you makes the bow rather pointless. There seems to be little use for gold, except to buy health potions. It looked like I could get all the weapons and armor needed from drops. The two merchants I found had crap for sale. And the drops themselves made little sense. Five different sets of daggers had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a silly 'diablo clone' that has bad graphics and inconsistent 'physics' (you can walk thru some objects and not others of a similar nature!). story is pretty weak and uninspiring.. all up.. not worth your time!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't even save & quit. Checkpoints within a level are only to respawn. The game only saves between levels. Because of this, didn't play long enough to see if there's anything of value here. From first impressions, it looks to just be an extremely bland Diablo-like. Go play Grim Dawn instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ooooo, man. Its really hard to love this game, even if at the core it is an RPG similar to DIABLO, but only butchered. Many problems and things were bad in this game. First, of all, almost none to very few settings in this game, just resolution and i think low, medium, high settings. audio and other settings very basic and simple, no 2.1 or 5.1 no headphones etc ... Another is controls, there are none to config or rebind, really bad choice. DEFAULT controls are very very bad and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly this game is fine. I don't get why there's so many negative reviews. It's an ARPG, like Diablo II. The game has barely any bugs, if not at all. The difficulty is just right, althrough I found the mage to be overpowered in my opinion. Playing Co-Op is a lot of fun and the skills are interesting, you can make a few different builds with three classes. Also the levels are very varied and vast, they sometimes take 20-30 minutes to clear and there's a bunch of them too. The story is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War" is an older game from 2012. It's a venerable 12 years old at the time of this review. It's basically a poor man's ripoff of Diablo, painfully generic, mildly dark fantasy theme, generic classes. There's a lack of quality of life features in the game, the interface is clunky and a bit tiresome to use. Hitboxing is pretty bad, too, and this is an action RPG so it should be better. The visuals don't look terrible despite the age of the game, and it does "work",…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would give this a neutral score. It plays like most other games in its genre but with less overall depth. Many things were not thought about when it came to the player. Overall the game is okay and nothing special. IMPORTANT: There is one achievement that is completely broken and impossible to get.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let some of the lower review scores of this game fool you. It is not clunky or poorly done, it is very smooth and has good production value and very nice graphics. It got low scores because it is a bit basic compared to games like Diablo 3 and Van Helsing, but it is still a fun action game nonetheless. IGN, who are my fav review site on the net and I normally agree with them, gave this a 5.5 which I highly disagree with. I feel sorry for whomever was playing it because he said that you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War is a very poor Diablo clone, It has terrible graphics, weird physics and controls very bad. Not recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Competent and average Diablo clone. The character is clumsier than usual and disengaging can sometimes be difficult because of it. It's good enough to spend some time playing this short arpg, the character development is as typical as it can be. It's easy for the most part, but sometimes the player character gets jumped by numerous enemies out of nowhere. Healing potions are more precious than typically, so keep stacking them up as much as you can, especially early on. The plot is really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RAW - Realms of Ancient War (2012) So this is one of those games that should be a negative review, but i'll say I enjoyed this game so i'll give the game the benefit of the doubt. Realms of Ancient War is a hack and slash game, comparison to games such as Titan Quest, Diablo and Torchlight. You can choose from one of three characters to play as, the most basic bread and butter of classes - The Warrior, who likes big weapons and armours who likes to take the fight to the enemy, The Rogue, who…

First off, I just can't get over the idea of having the three heroes from Diablo 1 in another game; I mean, they even have the same titles: Warrior, Rogue, Sorcerer. I went with the sorcerer cause I thought "humm maybe I can warp my way into the endgame boss and be done with this game in 10…

Realms of Ancient War — Achievement Hunter Review 🕒 Time played: 15 hours 🏆 Completion: 100% game completion + all Steam achievements As an achievement hunter, I completed R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War 100% in about 15 hours, unlocking every Steam achievement. From my experience completing games, this one was not very difficult to finish at 100%. The game itself is actually quite short — a single playthrough takes roughly 4–5 hours. The main reason I spent 15 hours in the game is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positives: Simple hack-and-slash, no bugs, no glitches. Small short easy linear maps (from 5 minutes to 20 minutes). 3 typical RPG classes: warrior, wizard, rogue. No annoying bosses with tough mechanisms. You can possess elite mobs to kill other mobs. Typical clear top-view of many RPGs. +-10 hours for each class to complete the game. Difficulty levels. Neutrals: Ambient music was OK (but repetitive). Very few texts and conversations. Mobs spawn out of thin air, it can make sense for some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hack&slash game, better than many newer titles, it's not an amazing title, but for it's price tag, it sure is worth it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very....boring...bland...save your time and money..seriously
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old School. Decent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just completed the game on my first play through with the Warlock. This is a good game. Is it ground breaking? An instant classic? Noteworthy in any way? Maybe not to most people. But what matters is for folk who just want a hack and slash dungeon crawler where you can play coop with a friend on the couch with some controllers and not have to have two machines, two copies of the game, etc. It's a solid couch coop slasher. It's a simple game. It's not hard, so "non gamers" can play this and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hold left mouse button to move, hold left mouse button to attack. You're encouraged to make ranged attacks but due to the zoom level most times you can't see what's coming until it's htting you. 99% of the loot is useless & sold for gold which is also useless. You'll pick up some good armour, level-upgrade some basic active & passive abilities, and be set for the rest of the game. You also get enough XP to unlock almost every skill upgrade so you don't have to choose wisely, and if you die…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Diablo clone that does so many things wrong: - neglectful story - no map - no zoom option - you cannot name your character - no logic in the controls - neglectful story - terrible AI and voice - if you quit you restart the level - loot and items are pathetic - currency system is broken - shopkeepers are everywhere, even in the lava depths. Human shop keepers, with shops and all... The one thing i liked tho was that you collect soulstones in order to resurrect. If you die without them in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring ass story, character sux, combat sux, game sux
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a decent hack-and-slash foundation, but it never really does anything memorable with it. Combat gets repetitive pretty quickly, and the environments all start blending together after a while. Co-op makes it a bit more fun, but solo play feels grindy and forgettable. Not terrible, just one of those games you uninstall and never think about again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute linear no brainer - some call it arpg, even mention diablo, but let's be honest, it's a twin stick shooter. Works just fine for a couple couch coop sessions. Story is too cheesy and generic - just don't expect too much and keep slashing the mobs. In the second half, some levels are like a few minutes long, obviously they were reaching the deadline. One would expect some kind of roll or dash, but there is none. Unfortunately, the game is quite obscure and there are literally no user…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an Xbox Live arcade title, from the 360 days, ported to the PC. If you are a veteran of the ARPG genre and you 're looking for a Diablo equivalent, keep walking. :D If on the other hand you're looking for an easy going, simplistic, arcade ARPG to pass the time or get a taste of the genre, you won't be disappointed. I played it casually, using a controller and I really enjoyed it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my favorite parts about this game are the main quest, the sound effects, and the levels. Theres alot to be left unsaid for this game, including how the hell those flame ball spiders got there... Aside from that, most parts of Realms of Ancient War work quite well and its quite Speedy My other favorite part of the game is the Shops and Merchants, and Side Quests Maze of Grimelda can take you 5 minutes or over an hour Are you up for the Test? My other favorite part of the game is the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, I really did. But it's just bad. It's repetitive, boring, and the story is incredibly uninteresting. I got this game for a dollar something, so it wasn't really a big loss. Five bucks is pushing it, though. I just gave up on it out of sheer boredom. I played this game so you don't have to. If I could sum up this game in one word, I would have to say, "generic".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Realms of Ancient War is exactly as generic as it is good. The combat works, the classes feel distinct, and the synergy in co-op is perfect. Playing with my room-mate, we had a great time swapping gear, discussing character builds/skills, and deciding which weapons would be best to optimize with elemental enchantments. It's easy to over-power yourself if you level in the right direction, but for most of the game there's a decent challenge and you have to carefully manage your abilities to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War pros: fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on, good amount of action and special effects, cons: some difficult battles. some gameplay bugs. somewhat weird controls. good game. Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.99 Or Less During Sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and fun game. You play as the hero who has to takedown a traitor king who seeks to dominate the world, forging a pact with a demon against the other 3 kings. It does not has amazing graphics, sound effects or anything, but it's worthy the price. I mean, by the time it was released, and probably the budget they had in hands to make the game, it's pretty damn good. Just don't expect anything like Diablo or Dungeon Siege. It's a simple linear rpg, with some loot and skill tree, and each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off, I want to say that I would give this game a neutral recommendation if Steam allowed it. R.A.W is a barebones hack'n'Slash game that lacks so many things that it becomes an unplayable game. As mentioned in other reviews: - Uninspired skills - hard controls and poor keybinding options - Unnamed heroes. Who tf would like to play anything with a character named "Warrior" or "Wizard" or "Rogue"? - This denotes the poor lore and the missed option to name your hero. Overall, is am…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beat the game with warrior for 7h on normal. For me, the game is underestimated. I enjoyed the R.A.W more than any other game in this genre. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of content in it. 8/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow this game somehow manages to do everything wrong for an RPG. - The combat is floaty; - The character classes are pretty much the same in terms of damage, skills, health, defence, etc. - The skills are generic (and I am being generous here) with vaue descriptions such as "deals high damage to enemies in an area"; - The enemies have variation only in terms of skin but function the same; - There's clown cars, some of which endless with no indication if you should keep fighting or not; -…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me clarify: This is a perfectly mediocre game. You can have fun when your expectations aren't too high. I would have given a positive review if it weren't for one thing annoying me so much as to change my opinion regarding the game alltogether. But maybe you can look past that (read further down below). The one thing that's tipping the scale to a negative review is the bugged achievement "Eternal Hero". Having played through a game that's just mediocre for three times and then not even…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its an attempt at a Hack and Slash game, but its just not there yet. Its very slow, there is no sense of direction or introduction to the game. Currently only 3 different characters to choose from. I ran around not really knowing who to talk to or what to do besides run through the forest. Skills take time to cast, like 2 to 3 seconds. If your hit it cancels. Just not my cup of tea. I assumed this was Early Acess when playing, but noticed it wasn't when writing this review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Diablo style game. If your looking for something simplistic to just jump in and beat up monsters, humans, dwarves, and elves then its not a bad play. I HIGHLY recommend you get this on sale and never pay more than 8$ wich is reasonable. Also to note if you like to hunt achievements DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THAT as 1 achievement is broken and the devs are not going to be fixing it. I hope what I said helps.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very simple game, with nice graphics and basic gameplay. It has OK story and good pacing, but most of the gameplay aspects feel too simplistic. Mainly, you just run forward and kill everything that moves with two mouse buttons. That's a bit weird from story side: to have an audience with the king and convince him that you're on his side you kill every person you meet in his kingdom. It's OK with offensive monsters, but killing all dwarves, humans and all elves feel plain. Pros: + Simple…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fairly linear hack & slash, with a reasonable plot. If you want to spend weeks learning lore, it's not the game for you. If you want something that you can blast through, put away and then return to try a different build then it's fun. Was worth a punt when it was discounted :-) Update: Definitely best with a controller, and so far working fine on Steam Deck, apart from one video that didn't play. Levels are short, so great to pick up and put down (slightly moderated by only saving between…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Hack and Slash game between middling to bad. The graphics are correct, specially the backgrounds, very elaborated. Sometimes crashes and has not save option, only autosaves at the beguinning of the screens, besides there is not option for customize keybonds. The mechanics is too basic. Player can reach levels of character progression as any common roleplaygame, but all parameters are set automatically, only can choose 1 point of special skill, and only gains 1 level per screen. As game is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starts with window mode, to change settings you have to go in to configuration (seperate program) although this program always crashes when starting it on windows 10. So im stuck in window mode with 1/4 size of my screen... nice
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what sucks. 1. game starts in a very small screen and does not show any options to make it fullscreen, you have to go digging for the file and launch game from config. 2. also there is now way to change the keyboard settings, i am level 11 and i cant even use some skills becuse the second tier does not let you hold a button down to charge the second part up. 3. controls are wonky, sometimes you get stuck attacking objects like spider eggs or boxes. 4. no character customization. they offer…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun Hack&Slay and works perfectly with Gamepad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A janky yet fun enough Hack & Slash. Buy it on sale. The game is a simple hack & slash game with mixed of RPG elements such as skills and equipment that differ for 3 classes. overall, the gameplay is smooth yet the underline design are clunky and need more improvements. 📖 The premise, Setting & Writing is simple enough to understand and follow along. However, right at the final mission the writing seem rushed and feel a bit cringy. 🎮 Gameplay is fairly simple with a mixed of just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it has the: - Diablo 3 graphical feel, - Diablo 2 gameplay and - Diablo 1 character classes. That is what it seems like. It is about 8 hours long it you do not wander too much. There is a Compass that usually points towards the tracked quest objective, so you are not getting lost even if the map is not available. The only thing that is weird is that there was no voice lines in my game (silent) even though there is a long slew of voice actors for the characters in the credits. Plot is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reminds me of those old school dungeon crawler games like Dungeon Seige 1 and 2!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let's be real: you probably got this in a bundle. Or perhaps for 0.70€. Is it worth it? Possibly. If you own a Deck, or use Steam Play to play it on a phone. It's a mobile game at this point. 12 years later, we got this and much more in Path of Exile or any mobile hack n slash, really. It's Sacred, if you remove the peculiar skill tree. It's so barebones that everytime I felt something was missing I asked myself "was it essential?" and if the answer was "no", I understood why it wasn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad controls. Attacks are often not hitting enemys but the air beside them. Runing seems to have some kind of chopping in it. Skills often don't activate. No Mini-Map. Transactions with traders are a hassle. These are the bare minimum for a solid ARPG, but R.A.W. does not meet them. I had a bit of fun playing the game for the first hour, but the shortcomings got more and more obvious with each minute. My rating 4,5/10, not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's really not that good. It feels a little clunky and the skills feel slow. The skill tree is very plain. I would not recommend this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun game for $10. Wish it had New Game+
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you manage to grab it on sale for 80% or better off, then yes, I recommend getting this game. Don't get it for full price though, as there are better games similar like Grim Dawn and Tower of Time (or you can get Diablo 3 too but that isn't on Steam)

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I grabbed the game at a reduced price (2.5€) and there might be an interesting story and a cool game in there (upon inspecting the characters' skills I'd only want to use the archer), but the lack of any quality of life features is painfully obvious. I already have a small laptop screen and the game opened and didn't even fill it - there's no resolution changing option and unless you lean close to the screen to read the fairly small font you won't see a thing, even with brightness maxed out…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great ARPG for $10!!! i bought this game years ago and never played it until recently. Just completed it today in 16 hours total game play time. Easy mechanics and limited spell lots make it great for the casual RPG gamer like myself. Visuals, graphics, and game play mechanics are awesome and recommend it to any fan of the ARPG series. I only used the wizard class, but you could get more game hours playing the other classes and doing the 100% achievement.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most bland hack'n slashes ever released.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy on sale. Took me about 7 hours to beat it, not worth the full price, but with a 75% discount it is worth the money.
