Du Lac & Fey: Dance of Death

Were it not for the lack of resources and having to push the game out, I can honestly say that Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey could have been a very good game, though not without the known issues of the tediously slow movement. All in all, if you want to play through an interesting story with a compelling core cast of characters, masterfully voice acted, then you could do a lot worse than Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey.

If you can appreciate the setting of Victorian era London, and detective stories is something you often enjoy, then you can try Dance of Death, but be ready that your chances to enjoy this game are rather slim.

Half-Arsed?

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey explores an alternate mythological history to the Ripper killings of 1888 and it certainly has a lot of flaws but if the subject matter intrigues you, there's some enjoyment to be had with its high quality writing and impressive voice acting.

A brilliantly written story and outstanding voice acting. Perfect for a casual weekend play.

Being re-released on console has not done "Du Lac & Fey: Dance of Death" any favors. The efforts of its well assembled vocal cast can't overcome the weak visual appeal, awful controls, and shoddy narrative work.

Whatever its shortcomings in terms of the big picture, Dance of Death manages to get some key elements right

Dance of Death: Du Lac and Fey is well done and interactive game, and also nice to listen to how the story unfolded. It is always fun to play a game that is branching out and inspired by a well-known historical tale. The acting of all of the characters showed how much fun the creators had when making the game. However, there is a lot of walking involved, which makes the maneuverability aspect frustrating at times.

It manages to strike a unique tone by blending Arthurian legends with the mystery of the Jack The Ripper murders, but Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey struggles to stand out due to a lack of thought provoking puzzles, painfully slow movement speed and a lack of polish.

While its mixture of Arthurian legend and the more flesh and blood trail of destruction left by Jack the Ripper is a great hook, Du Lac and Fey: Dance of Death's technical misfires prevent it from being something more meaningful.
