What would you do if your sister would be kidnapped? What would you do if the world you know would suddenly change? These are the questions that drive the Two Worlds story and give us a RPG which combines some elements that great games of this genre had.

Developed by Reality Pump, the ones who also created the Earth series, and published by SouthPeak Games, Two Worlds takes place in a medieval universe where humans and orcs are fighting for a land full of ancient mysteries.

As I said, the game begins with your sister being kidnapped. No idea who did it and no clues what so ever. Another aspect of the game is that the hero's sister is a lovely, nature gifted woman (too bad for her face). As you start your quest to discover the motives of this action, you find that the world you knew has changed.

Soon you will discover that the land of Antaloor is actually a battleground between the former rulers of the land (the Karga Clan) and the current rulers (House Skelden). Between them, other guilds or factions try to establish their domination and will use you for that.

Item Stacking

While slaying your enemies on your ways to solve the quests, an interesting feature takes place: items stacking; you will be able to stack the items that are similar. For example, two identical swords can be stacked and you will get better sword. The stats will be increased a little but this helps the gameplay as you won't have to carry all the items to the merchants in order to sell them. On the long run, by upgrading your items you will get even better equipment than most items found later in the game.  

Alchemy

The collected herbs and minerals found in the game can be used through alchemy to create powerful potions. You can create temporary effect potions or permanent effect. Regarding the temporary effect you will heal, restore your mana or increase temporarily your stats. The cherry on top of the cake represents the potions that give you permanent attributes. As you combine more and more items you will get a very powerful potion. I can't tell you the exact formula but adding three diamonds for example won't increase the benefits three times but more. This allowed me to create a potion so strong that I walked in the middle of an orc camp and they had a very hard time killing me. Without me to even moving a finger to attack them. I don't know if they meant it like this or they didn't considered that someone would collect so many ingredients for the potion. As you can see the alchemy skill is really important, and you shouldn't take it easy. Spending skill points here is really advised.

The minerals you find can be used to improve your weapons stats. For example, you can make your fire sword to deal more fire damage, to increase your cold damage on your spear and so on.
