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.
Bought it, wanted to play with my friend and crossplay doesn't work. I hoped that I can play this game with him like we did with Diablo 2 but nope, not with this one. And from what I've read in the internets, devs don't give a crap about this issue so if you want to play with your friends who has a Steam version go buy this game there... and if you both want to buy it and play it decide which platform you want to go for, otherwise no coop for you.
I went places. Things moved. I killed them.
That's about the extent of what I remember for my first, and probably last, play through. I spent just over 80 hours playing the campaign, including the Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods DLC, on Normal difficulty. I reached level 62/100 and acquired 38/55 devotion points.
If that were it, I might actually have thought better of this game. Instead, if you want to max your level in order to get the best (or even good) gear, you have to play the game again on Elite and then Ultimate difficulties. Keep in mind that this is PER CHARACTER, as there's no mechanism to share progress across characters. That might not be so bad if my time playing the game was fun, but it wasn't.
Part of the problem is gear. Useless loot is always a problem in ARPGs, but the problem seems worse in this game due to the character development system. Starting at level 10 your character will consist of 2 different classes, each with their own skills. With the 2 DLC packs, there are 45 different class combinations you can choose from. This may seem like a perk at first, but you'll quickly realize it's a curse. Gear drops are not weighted for the classes of your character, or for the skills that you're developing (and given the amount of skill points you earn, you can only fully develop about 2-3 skills out of a dozen across both classes), meaning that most of the gear you get will be for a build other than the one you chose. After about level 30, I ended up selling almost all of my loot, upgrading a piece of equipped gear only about once every 10 levels.
Another issue is the story, which is told mostly through writings you find in the world. Some of these are excellent stories on their own. However, they are also how you learn about the main characters and villains, who belong to one of the dozen competing factions. Because you don't find them in order, or maybe all of them, I often lost track of who's who and why I'm going after them.
