Enter an apocalyptic fantasy world where humanity is on the brink of extinction, iron is valued above gold and trust is hard earned. This ARPG features complex character development, hundreds of unique items, crafting and quests with choice & consequence.
Dual Class - Combine any of six distinct classes with over 25 skills and modifiers per class. Base classes include Soldier, Demolitionist, Occultist, Nightblade, Arcanist and Shaman.
Hundreds of Item Skills - Augment your class build with a diverse array of over 250 unique skills granted by items and equipment add-ons.
Collect hundreds of Items - Common, magical, rare, epic and legendary classes of loot. Plus over 20,000 possible magical affix combinations and over 200 rare affixes.
Quests with Choice and Consequence - You will face tough decisions that leave significant impacts upon the world. Strangers on the road, desperate families and even entire villages may live or perish based on your actions. Currently over 35 quests with 75+ lore notes to be collected.
Friendly and Enemy Factions - Earn favor with human factions to unlock additional quest lines, vendor discounts and special faction-based items and augments. Some neutral factions can be turned into allies but aiding one will make the enemy of another. Hostile factions will remember your deeds and deepen their hatred of you, sending out large packs and elite heroes to hunt you down.
Devotion, an additional layer of skill customization allows you to acquire bonuses and powerful secondary effects for your class skills. These are unlocked from a giant constellation map with points acquired by finding and restoring destroyed or corrupted shrines hidden throughout the world.
Rebuild the World - Help human enclaves survive and flourish by securing vital necessities, rebuilding structures and rescuing survivors who can then lend their services to your cause.
4 Person Multiplayer - Connect with Friends or make new allies in glorious multiplayer. Multiplayer encounters will put your teamwork to the ultimate challenge.
Fast-paced Visceral Combat - Enemy blood spatters, ragdoll physics and satisfying enemy death effects. Smash in doors and fight house to house, leaving a path of demolished furniture in your wake.
Rotatable Camera - If you choose to survey the full beauty of the world and always fight from the most optimal angle. Levels are still designed so that players are not forced to rotate the camera; it is purely optional.
Secrets and Perils Abound - 200+ Enemy heroes and bosses, hand-configured with their own unique arrays of deadly skills. 20+ secret areas hidden behind crumbling walls, hidden gaps and mysterious locked doors. Explode obstacles or repair structures to open new paths.
Rogue-Like Dungeons - Descend into special locked challenge dungeons that require a rare crafted key, where enemy levels increase as you progress and player teleport is disabled. There is no way out except to complete the dungeon or die trying.
Dynamic Weather - The world is brought to life with region-specific climates and a variety of weather effects. A sunny day can cloud over with mild rain showers that builds into a booming thunderstorm. Variable wind gusts blow grass and affect objects like windmills.
Recipe Based Crafting - Collect over 250 crafting recipes that allow you to combine salvaged components into unique crafted items and then, later, use those basic crafted items with higher-tiered recipes to complete items of amazing power.
Reclaim Skill Points - The ability to pay to reclaim points alleviates the fear and frustration of having to make early, uninformed skill choices that could permanently gimp a character.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
If you enjoy mowing the lawn but find that there's not enough grass to cut outdoors, buy this game and enjoy the serene satisfaction of cleaning up giant landscapes full of trivially weak monsters. Healthy substitute for sleeping pills. 3/5
Crate Entertainment is the only game developer seemingly left that understands that online gaming only is probably the biggest mistake the game industry ever made.
They also understand that what made games great was that they put just enough (but no more) effort into it that it could then be modified by the gamer as they saw fit because it was worth making an effort to change it.
Crate Entertainment are not a great developer- they're just middle of the road. That's not to say they haven't made a great game. When you look at the work they put into the start of the game to when you get to the Warden, you can see an absolute intent to make the best they could out of a severely low budget. The classes are bare-minimum. The actions they can do are bare-minimum. The whole game feels bare-minimum. That is its success.
The internet and online only is killing the game industry. Killing its players. Killing its game designers; Exhausting it to the very fabric. This the first time in a decade that I've noticed that a company doesn't have any shadow hanging over it. It means more to me that anything else; There's no bad vibe coming from them that I can see or from anyone on the forums.
There's also an Asset Manager so that you can create a mod from existing assets and literally create your own game. After several weeks of learning everything you can you get to appreciate what CE's developers were doing. They made the most fun game without being totally over-controlling about it and avoiding everything that's currently going on with these types of loot-intentional designs.
When you end up liking the people who created a game, you'll feel something for it even if it's not quite where you hoped it would be.
As a footnote, I'd sure like the DLCs to be a lot less to buy on top of the game.
