Poor remake of the game Diablo. Warning: Installation shows full frontal nudity in slideshow. VERY repetitive combat.
- Gameplay is a very typical hack-and-slash medieval action game. This game is honestly an poor copy of Diablo with just better graphics. Gameplay is extremely repetitive and unusually difficult even on the easiest setting. I can honestly say I've never died so many times in the first hour of playing, it was quite ridiculous. Combat is somewhat amusing and quests are mediocre. Controls are quite simple but camera angle seems kinda sticky and doesn't have the freedom as most games do. Disappointed in the hotkey availablitity for skills. One big thing I noticed that even ESRP didn't, the slideshow during installation shows two different slides with full frontal nudity of a woman. This was really disapointing being games that have this kind of content, no matter where its located, should have a mentioning or a higher audience rating.
Environment & Immersion: 7/10
- The game certainly contains a large bestiary and item selection. Maps are well made but some spots have a mound of creatures stacked just waiting to make things all the more difficult. Never really did get addicted or immersed into the game.
Graphics/Physics: 8/10
- Graphics are pretty outstanding for a third-person style game, gore is also quite a big plus. The blood and gore certainly make the combat pretty amusing. Lighting and weather graphics are better than most that I've seen in any third-person game.
Sound: 6.5/10
- Sound was good, voices were good at times but rather hokey or lame at other times. Not much to really say other than I would have liked to seen better quality sound than this.
Bugs, Stability & Performance: 7.5/10
- Game would lag or tank at various times for no reason, loading bar occassionally would glitch.
Replay value: 6/10
- Sure, this game is plenty replayable but content doesn't really much make it worth it.
Value/Originality: 2/10
- This game has some serious issues. 1#: Terrible remake of the classic Diablo series. 2#: Installation shows full frontal nudity during slide show. 3#: Gameplay seems to just repeat itself.
Will this game be remembered by old school gamers as a classic after 10 years?:
- Possibly hated by the Diablo fans, but never remebered as a classic.
Who would I recommend to buy the game?:
- I wouldn't recommend this, in all I would recommend anyone who DID like this game, to instead play Diablo.
-----------------------------------------------
Overall: 7 - Poor remake of the game Diablo. Warning: Installation shows full frontal nudity in slideshow. Extemely repetitive game play and truely a turn off because of its un-originality. Don't bother playing this one unless you have never played Diablo.
