The maps are all 3D rendered, and you play from the third-person perspective of your wizard. You move about the well-detailed countryside which has an organic feel to it. The engine runs great and looks fantastic. Detail changes depending on distance, so that while faraway objects look less distinct, they gain detail as you move closer. Each of the worlds has a distinct look, and the environment reflects the beliefs of the deities themselves.
Sound effects are excellent, and there is a limited amount of voice acting.
The jobs are very well done. Your wizard makes incantations while casting a spell and the sound is in an unearthly tongue. Deities may speak to you as they tell more of the story or grant you new powers. The interface is controlled by mouse movements and by use of the keyboard. The game is played from the third-person perspective, so that portion of the game feels much like a 3D shooter.
