Let’s start from the very beginning. When I received the game I felt really interested in it. So I quickly installed and launched it. The thing I saw after the titles was the menu... and I have to pause here. The first thing that personally I do when starting any game – is adjusting of the game settings. And imagine my surprise when I see just three choices: Start; Load; Exit. I was told that it’s a retro game, but I hadn’t expected to see this old game. It’s really not but it looks like it. To tell truth, I’ve found the options menu just by chance a few days later. You should remember that it’s under F1 key, because you won’t be told about it anywhere else and you may be not so lucky as I was. And as they say – I’d better not know about the existence of options menu at all, then receive such. Look for yourself, I hardly recognized the sound options in the first tab (General), while its other entries are still sort of a secret for me. Other tabs (Game pad & Keyboard) have neither hints nor help, so it turns out that the only useful button in each is Reset, so that you could abort your attempts to guess what this or what that letter will do. So we found out the the game is almost not adjustable to say nothing for graphics. It’s retro, yes, but my eyes honestly tired of being screwed into the 1440x900 wide-screen with 640x480 image on it... Even the windowed mode or a resolution adjustment aren’t implemented.

 Our Rating for Aldorlea Tales: 3 Stars of Destiny Review (PC)
7.0
Replay
As any RPG you can replay it with another specification of hero, while knowing the game by heart
6.0
Graphics
The score could be much higher but with the absence of adjustment lowers the score
8.5
Sound
Excellent. Quality and variety which won�t be boring for the whole day of repeating
6.5
Gameplay
The game seems to be little misbalanced. Original save-game and healing increase the score
0.1
Multiplayer/Online Content
Not Available
7.0
Overall
Rather good game for those who knows the classics and games which became real history, but I hardly doubt that younger generation will prefer it to Fallout3
