Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Pretty, bugsy, evidently a port

Very pretty, Torchlight II with Madureira characters. Monika got a breast reduction from the comics version, but I don't know if that was for ratings, physics or lack of screen space. I didn't initially know it was a port but the controls made it evident. "Mouse to move" is an option and initially off; combat skills can't be keybound. Also, and this is directly a design defect, combat skills need two clicks even when they really shouldn't: self? Click on the skill and then on you, because you don't know where you are unless someone pokes you. All heroes? Click on the skill and then on a hero, because otherwise you can't recall who's on your side. All enemies? Click on the skill and on an enemy, because you can't recall if that giant purple goober is a slime or just a puddle. I did like the skills system, and also that you can't directly assume a piece of equipment is better because it's a "higher" color. At one point the game ate my sword. While it is possible to save manually, manual save is complicated, it's not a listed option in the game menu. Not happy about my eaten sword. Will I ever go back and finish? Maybe, but I think I'm more likely to open up Torchlight. It never ate my swords.
