In my opinion, what the gamespot reviewer said was true and thats exactly it. however, i found myself enjoyng this game.. i don't know why but it has something that gets you like it.. it's like an RPG game, combined with really hard difficulty, making it like a poor rpg-action game when in fight. but yes most of the time, you'll have to run away from monsters because they gather up altogether spotaneously.. however when you keep enough distance they go back at their previous positions. You just have to walk really slowly and be careful and stuff like that or u may choose to charge in and run in circles of the map till you die (this has absolutely nothing to do with stealth).. the gameplay of this game doesn't really give you much choice when you charge in many enemies, since you will find it really hard to defeat them all with just the use of the mouse, a few buttons and an annoying poor control of the landscape camera... but its possible however. Yes there is a limited variety of spells in each school, yet not adequate but I found them sufficient enough.
I personally did not like the music and sounds of this game.. i found them not atmospheric enough to please my needs. Some sounds remind me of the old japaneese video games as well as the music. The game's sounds also take off some part of the seriousness of the game i.e. they make it sound like a funny entertaining game for kids, with funky sounds like BOING! and BLUB! when you pick up potions. :)
The game is a complete clone not unique and nothing new.. but yet its a different game and the difference is noticeable. People who like old school hard action games as well as old school RPGs like diablo 1 may find some merit within this game. Some old nintendo games were really hard and their difficulty was solely dependant on their poor gameplay. This game has something similar to it.
Anyhow. I like it and all i want to say is that it is possible for someone to like this game no matter how ugly it is.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and nowhere is that more apparent than within the Action-RPG genre on the PC. Given the number of titles currently attempting to crib wholeheartedly from the Dia... Read Full Review
This game had potential considering it's unique take on characters, and the intro video is wicked but I say had because it sure doesn't have any potential for real. The demo is one of the worst I have ever played. Don't ... Read Full Review
