Ripping off Diablo has never been so much fun! You play as Jack, some dude in a T-shirt that gets sucked through a portal and ends up having to fight for justice and... well actually he mostly gets drafted into service by a flying ship captain. We've all been there. Playing is basically just like Diablo, you control your character via clicking on the isometric representation of the fantasy realm, fighting using various skills and monitoring your health and mana. The big difference is that the game mechanics are simplified, and you read a book to earn a skill or spell rather than invest in it with points. The game is somewhat linear, except for the main path the three choosable characters (warrior, conjurer and wizard) traverse on, as the locations and their order of appearance is a bit different. As for the ambient, isn't much more cheerful and easygoing than in Diablo, while still retaining the feeling of danger. And when you die, your inventory contents literally explode on the flour. Fun! In conclusion, a fun isometric Diablo-like action RPG that has aged quite well. Oh, and sorry for the pun in the title, too much carbon moNOXide does that.
