It is a fun game, but too many people are looking for it to be Diablo or some other title made again. I don't think that it deserves all the hate it gets. if you want some isometric hack and slash and looting, it's really a fun time. Even more so if you play with a friend as most things are. Its story isn't deep, but if you look at it neither are most of the games they compare it to. Don't assume you will hate it just because other people say it's not "as good as Diablo/Torchlight/Grim Dawn," because i wasn't a fan of the latter those and I liked this.
The first review I saw called this an dungeon master game. I disagree. this is the worst sim/pseudo strategy game ever made, because the goal of several quests is to kill things; the problem is you have no actual control over the units. You can gather resources and upgrade structures and send out heroes, only you have no control over what they do. I microwaved the disc of this game, and I don't regret that action in the slightest. The actual Sims games give you much more control. RTS games give you more control. This game decided to break the mold by taking that control away. Don't bother playing it.
