The core gameplay is interesting but is too simple to really enjoy, especially in 2007.Ī good part of the game must be spent in the dungeons and this is where the game falters: the dungeons simply have not aged well. There is a couple of towns and dungeons here and there but it generally feels quite empty. The problem at this point is that those conversations are far too simple to be truly enjoyable, and the world is basically a huge landmass of nothing. This is what keeps the game fresh today still.

It is thoroughly unique in the sense that you need to engage in conversation with NPC's, ask them keywords, take notes and use some logic in your decisions. Ultima IV introduced the classic Ultima gameplay that is like a cross between a classic adventure game and a western rpg. So how will you achieve this? By talking to a whole bunch of people and taking notes.

Unlike the previous games in the series you don't have a big bad guy to kill, instead here you need to be an example to the people of Britannia and become an avatar, the perfect representation of everything that is right so to speak. It's true that the game was truly incredible back in the day and it has surprisingly aged well, or at least some parts of it aged well. By GrahfZilla | Review Date: AugUltima IV is often seen as being one of the most important rpg in the history of the genre, and is often included in top games of all time lists and whatnot.
