As I said in the previous post I'm a big fan of hack and slash games. I accidentally saw this ad in one of my friends blog. I immediately downloaded it and started playing. It's D2 style exactly type of game. Well it looks like Torchlight(in terms of cartoonish style), but it's different, it's more addicting. It has a few predone maps as far as I know, but also a dungeon generator, and I must say dungeons are pretty beautiful and detailed, though small for now(maybe because I'm still a low level). There are four races and three classes. It doesn't matter what race you are.
Satyr |
Cyclops |
Human |
Gremlin |
Well, that was hard, positioning the pictures. The three classes are Bloodletter(which I chose for my hero and which resembles the barb), Gadgeteer(ranger) and Pyromancer(mage). I must say, graphics are pretty cool, mild and good looking. They are not overdone or anything, not too much effects, not too much shadows, almost perfect, I'll give them 8.5/10. Check them. It's max everything, only without AA.
Note: it's a screenshot from the game, but it's with lowered quality, maybe the game lowers it when capturing, dunno. The quality is better ingame, believe me ^_^ |
The skill tree. When I first saw the skill tree it looked like WoW's talent tree, but then after closely looking I found out that's actually a skill tree, rather than a talent tree. It has more skills, than passives, like in D2. Also you have to UNLOCK the tiers, before skilling this. Like in Titan Quest(a fail to this genre imo).
Well, what can I say more, I LIKE it, I play it, though not very much, just much. If you enjoyed some of the following games you should play this one - D2, Torchlight, Titan Quest, Mu online. That's from me'h for now.
I find it amusing that they are not copying names of races lol
