Nice gameplay, Tons of skills and powerups. Metaprogression is a bit of a grind. SOme folks are going to like this, some not. My only complaint about the game is that the key survival mechanic is avoidance...to not get hit. However, the weapon effect become so large after powerup that they obscure the threat indicators on the ground. You'll get hit by things it was impossible to see, anticipate, and avoid.
I only got to the end of the first mission. It took me an hour, I failed at the last step and teh game wanted me to start from the begining of the mission. I never want to replay the last hour of gameplay in a game. So that's it for me for this game. Can't really tell you if its good or bad, but no checkpoint or autosave with missions that last >1hr is a dealbreaker.
Now that Diablo is online only, this is the best offline ARPG
What a great game. Finished the game in two, 4 hour sessions. One thing I dislike about modern games is that they overstay their narrative. This game was perfectly paced, and I never once thought "I hope I'm near the finish". The progressive mystery was fun to solve/learn about and the puzzles were challenging wihtout being frutrating. Good length, enjoyable gameplay, good storytelling, good voice acting.
Just wanted to refute a lot of the negativity. There is NOTHING wrong with this game. It doesn't crash, saves are fine, there is plenty of content in the base game. The combat is balanced and interesting. YOu have to learn how to read the enemies stats and see what their weaknesses are before your set up your dungeons. Once you do this, almost every combat can be won. Work on synergies between your master, traps, and monster abilities. There are mulitple ways to win so there isn't "one build" or leave you looking for a lucky draw in rooms or artifacts. Fun, entertaining game with funny parody of corporate HR. Worth the money.
