Wait until it hits the bargain bin.

The classification I chose for this review, "broken", is probably the most accurate thing that can be said. It's a very strange web-browser game.

Of course we know about the DRM, but that wasn't really an issue for me. Of greater issue was the fact that it flat out didn't work. And after getting it to work, I was shocked to see something so dated.

So you jump through hurdles and hoops to... log on to the controversial always-online DRM. I think the way it might be implemented is what caused me so much grief, because the game is so slow. It lags like nothing I've ever seen. The Witcher 2 runs smooth on my system, so specs aren't the problem. So you get randomly booted from your server, and that's even if you aren't AFK (for which you will also be disconnected).

Along a similar vein, specs couldn't be the problem. The game is a lot like something you would see in 2004. It reminds me of the artwork Blizzard used to sell WoW way back when, only now games really look like that. It is very cartoonish, and certainly a great deal of loving detail was put into the lush artwork.

All in all... just don't buy it for $60. In no way, shape or form is this game worth a month of gas money. It isn't fun to play, combat is terribly dull after we have adjusted to better games that don't use action figures and the way the DRM is implemented is actually going to legitimately annoy people. Like, beyond the norm for the PC gaming community. Yes, DRM, fine, if we must, but... like this? Really?

Otherwise it's a completely unremarkable game. I have no idea how or why this required years in development.
