The story is fine, the graphics are fine (for what the creators intended), the combat is garbage. Getting skill and gear "upgrades" isn't much of an issue, but the AI and initiative makes combat a crap shoot. You have to lock in your choice of actions before each round, such as character A needs to attack hostile X, so on and so forth. The problem lies when an action happens to get in the way, say if a hero goes down because your locked in decision for a character to heal another is overridden because a hostile engages the healing character and it instead chooses to counterattack. You have to lock in your choices at the start of a round but cannot ultimately control your characters actions, the AI is horrible at mid-combat response when you have no input at all because you made your decisions before the round started. It's just a crap shoot and not worth the frustration.

About This Game
Shores Unknown takes place in a land ruled by the iron-fisted Crown, and policed by the fearsome Inquisition, from whom it is said there is no escape. To the south lies the Empire and perpetual war, while to the north there is only the Murk — a seething wall of fog from which no ship has ever returned. In the midst of these grand forces, both natural and otherwise, our heroes must find a way to survive and to pursue their dreams of liberty.
Play as the newly-made leader of a mercenary company, fresh off an assignment gone awry. Now on the wrong side of the Crown, allies and loyalty are paramount. Forced to venture through the maw of the Murk in a search for truth, players will explore unknown lands, forge new alliances, and wage battle against those who would see to their end. What dangers await on Shores Unknown?
