Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
This game looks awesome and is playable: controls are comfortable, especially with the Xbox gamepad. I got it at a low price from gog.com but I felt the game was short, thus the price.
The beauty of the game lies in the graphics, painted, colorful, and very similar to Diablo III, if not better. It is comfortable to play because it lets you save time doing unnecessary things like clicking on each item you want to loot or aiming at an enemy. You won't be fatigued.
The game felt short: This game has four chapters as the first "book", the story ends in "to be continued", just like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 0.5. I played it all in a day. It was Sunday. The story was nice but I felt like played the demo. Perhaps I was upset that I didn't destroy the cauldron and I didn't defeat the bad guys.
I'd say it's a nice hybrid between a ARPG and a Moba. Why? Let me explain.
The game offers a choice between 3 startingheroes. The standard fair of meele, ranged and mage. But, in a stroke of genius, you are able to devour the souls of other heroes along the way of your journey.
All of these heroes come with an archetype, coresponding to the startingchoices, But all of them have their own story and their own skills.
You can then setup a party of 3+1 heroes, which you can shuffle through on the fly.
This allows you to combo the skills of your chosen party. Use a aoe-slow that reduces fireresistance, change to your aoe-firemage to place a DoT on the enemys to then change into your meele-goon to quickly dispatch the big unit after the adds die.
Every gauntlet is basically a mini-teamfight where you switch between the roles.
On top of that, allmost all skills are a aimed skillshot, while enemys have clear wind-up attacks or projectile-attacks, which strongly encourages you to dodge their attacks by movement.
Concepts like orb-walking/kiteing or dodgeing with skills are something you will pick up naturally by playing this. Braindead clicking while standing still, basically attritionwarfare like in a lot of other ARPGs is strongly discouraged, espescially on higher difficulties.
Add the bossfights on top of that, which usually have bullethell elements incorporated into the fights and you have one very interesting and engageing game.
This is a full on remake in a better engine, includeing both the first part that was allready available and the second part. The engine brings about a nice graphicsupgrade and, more importanlty, makes the game run way smoother and more responsive. It's just a joy to play, espescially if you made your way through the first 2014 release.
All around a very good job by the devs and Kalypso, who gave the game out to those who bought the 2014 release, FOR FREE.
A pact made and KEPT!
A great Action CRPG in which you play an evil spirit and his choice of possessed Hero, and various other creatures you can possess along the way to add to your collection of physical avatars. Will you use & discard them, change them, or be changed by them?
I bought this on steam and the game is still unoptomized and very unplayable to most people running it..... wait for a sale for sure if your interested as for me I'm getting a refund for sure..... BUYER BEWARE on this one...
