Expect The Unexpected by GoldenGod Games. Which is a very ambitious turn-based Role-playing Game from an Indie studio. Story You are a chosen chosen one of the Gods and should collect 12 Rune Stones and bring them to the Temple to restore the Power of the Gods. In the End, there are even different Ways to end this Story, but you shouldn't expect more than that. Gameplay Playerfully it is also quite simple. You choose from one of 5 Classes, which are unfortunately quite unbalanced, especially Druids and Magicians actually make everything burst effortlessly in the End. Your Character has Life and Mana, which you can replenish by Potions, Food or rest in a City. To get to a City, you need to move from Field to Field on a manageable Map, which is entirely random In most fields. Sometimes you are invaded by wild Animals, sometimes you meet soldiers who want anything from you or you meet a Barber who wants to freeze you. In most Encounters, you also have several Options, each Answer of which can result in different Actions. If you reject the Services of the Hair Cutter, it may happen that it just goes, or else attacks you. Through Fights, the Character gains experience and raises Levels. This earns points that can be used to learn passive and active Skills. The Fights are turn-based. In doing so, you push your Character back and forth on a Witch field and attack with Close-range and Long-distance combat As well as Spells. How much Damage attacks cause depends on The Weapon's Attack value and the enemy's Armor Value. Tactically, there is only to note that there are hills that increase the Attack and Forests that increase the Defense. If you find yourself in these special Witch fields, you can also not be fired upon. Opponents, however, do not use these Bonuses, but fight very stupids. The Same applies to Allies and Followers, who cannot be controlled by oneself, which makes them very superfluous. If the Character dies, which can happen quite fix especially in heavy Mode thanks to a strong own Subnumber, these Abilities are not lost, in Contrast to the Equipment that disappears during death. If the Character is futsch there is a Mini-game, which is not really difficult, with this one you can bring your Character back to Life. What happens if you get it misunderstood, however, I can't say, as I never Felt like losing on purpose. Graphics & Sound The Pixel Graphics look quite nice and even have some Special Effects to offer. Still, a lot of Animations look very cheap. In particular, the Attack that looks identical to each Weapon. The Setting Is terrible, absolutely turning off the Sound. The Background Melody is nothing special, but it goes OK. But when a human Unit dies, the Wilhelmsscream [de.wikipedia.org] is used. Just annoying, especially when you're fighting larger Bandit Groups, where you like to hear that Cry 10 times in a row. Verdict Joa, you can play, but you haven't missed much if you don't. Expect the Unexpectet is Fun, especially at the Beginning, but then gets bored and monotonous quite quickly. In addition, the Game offers nothing really special or unique, but is quite inconspicuous. If you like Games of this Kind, you can take a Look at them here in a Sale, otherwise not.

The Game was made available to the GGC for Review purposes.
