Not really an RTS but fun anyway
90% of this game is a Diablo I clone with 10% of it an actual RTS. The RTS elements are pretty light when used, and they are only used on a few maps. So if you are looking for an RTS, you might want to look elsewhere. It really plays more like an action RPG in the vein of Diablo. So for most of the game you have an RTS map with a single unit to control, and you run around killing everything looking for decent drops.
Drops are usually potions, some of which help increase your stats. There are also chests scattered around usually guarded by creatures you'll have to kill, which contain money, potions, armor or weapons. There are also shops available on most levels. Some shops sell potions, others sell magic spells, while some sell equipment. You'll usually have to clear out an area to be able to access the shops.
You guide your main character through level after level of baddies, mostly huddled in bases or occasionally paroling an area. These will remind you of RTS style maps where you need to roam around to lift the fog of war. The maps get a little repetitive, but its not horrible. You're character can equip a sword or bow, and also has a selection of spells used to help defeat your foes. The enemies are somewhat varied although in the middle of the game it was a lot of the same. As you gain in experience the baddies get harder to defeat, and you'll have a lot more of them on your hands.
As you kill things you gain experience, and when your experience hits a level you get to upgrade your stats. The stats system is unique in that you can either choose from a selection of boosted upgrades, or wait and pick your stats as normal.
The spell selection is pretty interesting. There are roughly 18 spells to choose from and you gain new spells as you progress in the game. Some are just plain useless, but other are interesting. You get a mix of damage spells, area effect spells and summoning spells.
