There's a point to this nonsense
According to the official word from both developer and publisher, Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo is the “4th episode, and the 2nd full-disc installment of the series.” After visiting numerous websites to unravel further clues, I also discovered that Agon started off as a series that was planned to be told across 14 episodic releases in the form of affordably priced downloads. Bear with me here, the rabbit hole gets deeper.Chapter 1 was released way back in 2003 and was followed by Chapter 2 in November that year. Almost a year later, Chapter 3 was released and now, four years later, we have Chapter 4. However, I then discovered that a title called Agon: The Mysterious Codex was released in November 2006, a title that merged all three of the previously released chapters into one title. Confusingly though, the official AGON site now refers to that game as Chapter One and the new Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo as Chapter 2. Get it?
After writing all of this down and re-reading it, I now understand exactly where we’re at with the series. Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo is the second game in the AGON series, that’s all you need to know. I’d also hazard a guess, although I couldn’t tell you for sure, that the idea of releasing 14 episodes has been tossed aside in favour of the uncomplicated full priced game, Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo, which is due for release on February 22nd at a palatable £19.99.
Fortunately, you’ll be glad to hear that what I’ve just told you makes no difference at all to the game experience, as Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo is a standalone title and a brand new story.
Of course, you didn’t really need to know all of this, you’re probably just interested in whether Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo is a good game or not, but the reason why I’ve tortured you with this baffling and pointless tale of my own personal confusion is because I wanted you to experience just a little bit of the boredom I’ve felt whilst actually playing this sluggish title and I also wanted you to experience the same ‘JUST BLOODY GET ON WITH IT’ mind-set that you’re probably experiencing right at this moment, one which I experienced frequently as I sat staring, like a dosed up inmate at a mental institution, at my monitor, trying to digest reams of un-scippable dialogue, and praying that at some point I’d get to do something even mildly interesting.
You've probably guessed by now that I don't like Agon: Lost Sword of Toledo.The truth is that I found it to be an agonizingly lethargic point and click adventure that felt more like an interactive book than the exciting adventure it claims to be.
