The game seems similar to Warcraft III, but more of a RPG/RTS hybrid of sorts....
In terms of the type of engine/game this is it just totally drops a sledgehammer on Warcraft III. The graphics look more detailed, the shiny/reflective water is amazing, and there's a lot more moving objects (trees and such). Excellent music and pretty good voice acting. Also, unlike the W3 engine you can fully rotate the game view (instead of temporary 30 degree rotations...).
OK HALO runs like crap on my system (Barton 2500 / 9700-PRO). But, this game runs like liquid butter. I set it up at 1280x1024x32 with all options on or "high", and turned on x4aa and x16af. Silky smooth.....
If I understand things right the US version is going to be called "Once upon a Knight" and is not yet out. I believe an English UK version is out though (which I think is also called "Once upon a Knight"). The company is German....
Well, I've only spent a few minutes playing but I'm very impressed. I hope the gameplay is actually fun deeper into the campaign (not sure how long the demo goes for).
