This game is very elegant, simple, straightforward.. and just plain enjoyable.. It is as rich as it is entertaining. At first i thought it was going to be extremely generic hack and slash but i was pleased when i realized i did not want to put my controller down because i wanted to level up my character and farm more materials to craft armor/weapon trinkets.

According to google, it is not just me, this game runs your cpu priority high and your computer temperatures exteremly hot.

However as simple as this game is, it is absolutely treacherously ported to the PC.. For some reason this game absolutely COOKS my cpu.. It runs a i7 3570k CPU at 100% cpu usage and without proper cooling can bring ivy bridge chips up to 90C.. So do not just open this game and expect to relax.. You have to turn every fan in your computer to the maximum or else you will risk harming your computer..

This is unacceptable for a game that is this simple, games like these should not even be using up 1% cpu usage.. For a game that you would expect to run in a web browser this should never have been released in this state..
