An alright launch game with a heart of gold. Nothing spectacular though.
First off, this game is incredibly unbalanced as far as classes go. The warrior by FAR surpasses the mage or the scout in total damage done, and effectiveness in battle. The lack of a healing class makes online not much more than a simple (and I mean SIMPLE) hack and slash. The storyline leaves a LOT to be desired.
However, It's not all bad. there is no shortage of save points (which also count as places you can recharge your health for the games currency, called "essence".) The graphics are pretty good (for a launch title). I also like the weapon system they have. Instead of finding new weapons, you find/buy gems that you can enhance your weapon. every characters weapon has 5 slots to put differently shaped gems in. The first of the 5 slots is the one the weapon takes its graphic from, IE, if you put in a certain gem, the warriors hammer turns into an awesome axe, or if you put in another, it turns into a wicked dragon head mace, with smoke coming out the nostrils. There are probably somewhere around 30-50 different gems in the game.
As far as armor goes, its pretty much OG Diablo style. Monsters drop gear, or you can buy it. The real-time graphics for armor is generalized (IE not every piece changes your character's appearance).
The action aspect is not bad. As a mage, you have a plentiful arsenal of spells to cast, and his melee attacks are pretty nifty too (But no where near as cool as the warriors). It isn't overly amazing though, since you will find yourself usually using the same "combos" all the time. kinda repetitive.
All in all, this game is good if you REALLY REALLY like hack and slash games, which involve online co-op. Its fine if you have a friend to play with. Single player isn't recommended. Neither is paying full price.
