Seriously boring dungeon design and mindless mouse clickings.

User Rating: 6 | Loki PC
By KingLim | Review Date:
Loki pales a lot when you compare it with Diablo 2 or Titan Quest. Even if you're a fan of the mythical periods, Loki offers little integration and interesting objectives to hook players. The quests are boring and unrewarding, the monsters are hard and ridiculously abundant (which even makes Sacred's unreasonable monster spawning reasonable), the dungeon crawl is tedious and predictable, and the loot is dull and unsatisfying.

Aesthetically, even though the sound is good, it becomes annoying with the heavily repetitive gameplay. Graphic-wise, though the 3D models look professional and detailed, the color palette is strangely flat and muddy. Well, the particle effects are superb I shall say, with mirage-inducing flames and smoky poison clouds, to describe a few, but comes with a steep PC requirement.

The gameplay, amidst of all these issues, becomes a drag, with occasional bugs taking away whatever bit of enthusiasm left in you. Because of the tedious monster grinding and dull pathfinding, the sparse checkpoints becomes a serious spoil-sport.

So, from the way I see it, Loki does have a potential setup, but is unfortunately taxed with problems that would shun away even the most dedicated action RPG fan. The only reason you would want to bother complete this game is because you're waiting for Diablo 3.
