The game was definitely a product of its time and for its generation of gamers. The graphics aged like sour milk, but with texture packs, foilage, mesh, shader, and LOD generation overhauls (a bitch to set up),
As for the combat... Yes it's clunky, especially at early levels where RNG plays a major role in connecting hits, but the game has so many unique mechanics with complete freedom to combine and abuse. It's hilariously broken and you can do some absurd stuff.
It's niche though.
Wow, that does look a lot nicer than the my memory of it.
