one of the most underrated games on the 360...

i saw this game on sale somewhere and thought it might be a spot of fun, turned out to be much more. the game begins in a dungeon with overgrown flora and fauna everywhere, this area was suprisingly extremely lush, and as i kept progressing through the game i realised what amazing sound, lighting, and other visual effects it has.

the game is very original with its story and type of gameplay, its a sort of action rpg cross a strategy game which really works, you control these minions which are like darklings from the darkness but less, dark, well any way they are your main way of attacking something and they are very usefull, you can upgrade them as you can yourself by finding weapons and armour throughout the world which your minions can use. there are four types of minions, each with its own abilities and weaknesses, which is where the strategy comes in and you have to think about which minions you will use or if you will use a mixture of them.

what is also original is that you are evil, and only capable of being evil, your level of evilness though, can be distorted. your main goal in this game is to rebuild your fortress and seek revenge on those who have wronged you, which is dumb but fun.

overall this is a must buy but its not perfect thus me giving it a 9.5/10
