Diablo, Dungeon Siege, Torchlight : We have all heard of these games in the past and virtually every PC gamer has owned one if not all these titles at somepoint. Darkstone is similar to these games, granted not as visually impressive as the above mentioned titles as it didnt have the backing of a HUGE software house. Thing is though, huge backing or not this game delivers what you would expect from an RPG. Long storyline, big dungeons and even bigger bosses! Another thing with this is that once you have done a playthrough there are other character types to get to grips with. RPG's today you can create hybrid characters that can be powerful equally in all aspects like warrior, healer, mage etc. Darkstone you pick a character class at the start and that is how you will play the entire game. This gives great replay value as different tactics are required for each class. Then you have the whole random Dungeons, similar to Diablo 1 & 2. Nothing worse than a linear RPG that once you have finished it you have seen it and it just gets put away to gather dust for years to come. Each randomly generated dungeon gives replay value once again as it mixes things up. If you love action RPG's then this is definately a game for you, at such a cheap price it deserves a place on your GOG shelf. Bit of luck we will eventually see Revenant and Silver also land here.
