Once our hero nabs a ship, sea monsters or clashes with enemy ships sometimes rudely interrupt his treks to new islands. And bless my beard, the ship battles! Somebody's clearly been playing Assassin's Creed IV at Piranha Bytes, and it's paid off. Piranha Bytes here finds a pleasing balance of combat and story, and it seasons the experience with minigames for lockpicking or arm wrestling for extra gold. (They're kind of what the Templars of Dragon Age would act like if they served the mages rather than oppressed them.) Scowling in stage left, we have my fellow Demon Hunters, who bring a bit of Conan-style grit to the proceedings.Īnd situations abound. The Guardians serve the mages on their rocky isle, but their melee prowess (and gear) adds a welcome edge to the spellslinger faction by leaving them with a degree of melee prowess. The voodoo of Risen 2 makes a return in the camps of the "natives," but they never quite steal the show quite like their neighbors. You can thank the three new factions you can align with for a lot of that. Risen 3: Titan Lord's tale of securing the help of powerful mages stands quite well on its own. It's a generally fun romp that takes him into deep caves hiding menacing shadow lords and into bleached dreams where he waxes philosophical with villains from Risens past, but happily it's not the kind of game that demands encyclopedic knowledge of its forebears.

Piranha Bytes revives the series with him, and fittingly sends him off in search of his soul. His corpse spends three weeks fermenting in the tropical sun before he's brought back to life by a loopy shaman.
