OMG, and they released this??!!
Having only played the demo, perhaps my opinion may be a little distorted, but I can't remember attempting to play a worse slash'n'hack game than this. The actual story line, quests, etc. may all be well and good, but the fighting system is simply the worst. Getting caught standing on top of things, not being able to move at all while fighting, getting my butt smacked by Sewer Slime of all things!! Terrible response time, no real control over targeting, having my ranged attacks be almost useless...it took over 100 arrows, shurikens and spells to kill that #%@&*# Ogre Troll thing from a safe distance. That's just ridiculous!!
However, opening the treasure chests was fun. I enjoyed the challenge of finding the right device at the right moment. But, they ruined that by making lock picking a one-time effort, at least at the ONE door in the demo that allowed me to lock pick. One try and the door was jammed, not to be opened again anytime soon. Oh well, its only the demo...
And, of course, there's always the chance that I just suck.....
