In turn based mode its actually a rather good combat system. Not the most polished but one of the few to implement 'backstab' properly...
The story is weak but the setting is exceptional, a shame more wasn't done with it really, the manual is a joy to read. The number of steampunk theme games is far too thin on the ground.

It was turn-based. I guess that my complaint with the combat system is that it seemed like a lot of work went into it but if all the magik, mechanics, and special abilities can be countered a by a fist in the face then everything else just seemed pointless. I was usually able to take out a few guys per round. That's just my opinion though, oh well, some people loved the game and the music.
