"Solid"
When I first read about this game, I knew that I had to get it. It looked alot like Diablo II, and to my surprise, it plays very well. It starts off like a basic hack 'n slash RPG, you choose your character based on magic abilities, health, strength, dexterity, ect. Nothing new.

Although this game doesn't really seem to bring any new elements into this genre, it works together very well. One thing that may be a common stratagy to more experienced gamers is that, instead of putting stat points into all your skills, you may want to stack all your skill points onto one skill. Making it extremly deadly at higher levels.

Although this game is great it does have its low points. For one is the sound, there is almost no sound or there is crappy repetitive music playing in the background. I also found an interesting little glitch in the game. In the begining I found that if you do not preform the objectives in a perticular order then you can't advance any further. I was forced to restart the game and start from scratch.

Overall this game can be very pleasing. With not much of a story it may not hold your attention for more than an hour at a time. The gameplay does enough to make up for this though. It may also draw you in to come back to try a different character, such as the archer, if you did not pick him the first time.
