The Waylanders

"The Waylanders tries to imitate a variety of mechanics from leaders of the RPG genre, but fails to implement any of them effectively, while offering nothing original apart from the astonishingly poor dialogue."

"The world with Celtic folklore and strange creatures is remarkable in itself. However, the overall result is inconsistent, unconvincing and even with bugs."

"The Waylanders is to be commended for the way it takes Celtic mythology and extracts cool moments and conflicts. It’s a great jumping-off point to learn more about the Tuatha De Danann and the stories of pre-Christianity Ireland. It also …"

"The Waylanders is an old style RPG with a good setting, but it is penalized by bugs, errors and full of awfull dialogues"

"When The Waylanders succeeds, the game is one of the most solid experiences I&s;ve had all year. But those successes are few and far between, while the rest of the title fails to keep itself afloat among a sea of …"

"With its unique setting and interesting story mechanics powered by time-traveling, great sense of scale, and nice visuals, The Waylanders had the potential to be a remarkable role-playing game. The uneven pacing of the story, writing with wild quality shifts, …"

"I’m not sure if more time in the oven is the answer to The Waylanders’ problems, but it couldn’t hurt. I really liked the setting and core story, but I’m afraid that the game’s bland combat and awkward controls are …"

"The Waylanders is an interesting concept let down by poor dialogue and inconsistent challenge, but it&s;s not without its charm."

"Everything about my experience points to GATO Studio either running out of time or money (or both) before they could complete The Waylanders. A story that starts off in a fresh setting and filled with interesting characters, nice visuals and …"

"As such it is hard to recommend The Waylanders in its current form. Although it is charming and enthusiastic, its slapdash quality seriously hampers the overall quality of the experience. A middling narrative and minor bugs are easy to overlook …"

"The Waylanders tries to follow on BioWare&s;s footsteps but Gato Studio&s;s game lacks all the qualities that made Dragon Age: Origins stands out."
