Didn't see any threads about this game.

I like it, think it has lots of potential. Good graphics, and the addition of ragdoll physics to a hack'n'slash game is always fun. My version stopped working somewhere after the first town, so if the game turns out to be teh suck later on, I wouldn't know. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I'm starting to like this game better than Diablo. It's less over the top, and there's a reasonable amount of monsters, so it doesn't get as old, at least in the beginning. I also like the Greek mythology theme, or rather, inspiration (can't really apply it to a hack'n'slash game after all).

the graphics and perspective are pretty similar to Dungeon Siege in style, except you're not as forced to follow a single road from A to B, and there's less dungeon exploring (which got really really old in DS). I'm not sure if you can have followers.

There's apparently cooperative multiplayer too, but I haven't tried it out. I guess it could be awesome with a friend.

Has anyone played this? There's an English demo out, but the button texts were all messed up when I tried it, so it was unplayable.


*edit*

I might've found a way to make it work. I'll post a more complete review later, when I've really played the game.
 
Well, it is a hack and slash game and there are only so many ways such a game migt look... if the story behind it is worth something it might not be half bad... I'll try it out tomorrow and tell you what I think about it
 
Nevermind the story, really. It's just the usual "go kill bad guy and save world" thing. I'm talking gameplay and enjoyability. Also, there aren't that many 3D hack and slash games. I like the details on every monster, as you see exactly what equipment they're wearing.
 
I played the demo, I found the thing to be truely uninspired. Diablo clone without any gore (if I whack some 3ft nothing creature with a sword and its send him flying acrossed the screen I want to know where the blood is, it looks funny without it), main character looks like some sort of horror villain's hench, dialog works as a simulatanous cure for both insomnia and constipation, the skill trees annoy me a little in their set-up, ect. I could go on for a awhile about what I didn't like, but I'm just going to sum it up with a nice clear "It sucks." I prefer some more innovation in my games than just a rip-off of something earlier in a new setting.
 
I've been worn out by hack and slash games and yet I've been considering this one. I played Diablo 2 to death and enjoyed Divine Divinity. Unfortunately, I played Sacred which just killed my interest in the genre. Yet the setting for this looks nice.
 
I like ripoffs of something earlier in a new setting game. You know what you're going to get. I'm not exactly saying buy this game at full price here, people.

Neither am I saying this is the best game ever, but it's good. Yeah, too bad about the gore, but my PC is having enough trouble running this at lowest settings, so no thanks.

If only it didn't crash on me every 5 minutes or so. I hope the patch that's supposed to come today fixes that issue.

There's not going to be a Diablo 3 anytime soon, this is a fresh alternative for now.
 
The interface is really badly done, looks like its a MS game from 95 or something :?

And the camera angel felt very stiff and badly placed. Dont know if you can change it tho.

Not in the demo, which irritated me to hell. There's nothing like behing shot repeatedly by an archer you can't see.
 
Yeah, the interface has a crappy and too simplistic design, but meh, it's not really what matters.
 
It's pretty fun, sure it's total diablo clone but a pretty good one.

I want to play coop though, but each time we try the game crashes after a couple of minutes. Hope the patch they just released fixes it
 
I've made it work without crashes, pretty much. I played for more than an hour straight last night. It's getting cooler and more challenging, but I'm afraid it might be a little short. I'll post a review once I'm done with the game.
 
Played the demo, serious meh. I'll admit the engine is really nice, but since i already own Diablo 2, i really dont see the point in this game. If it were a little depper, then I would deffinitely get it. The state its in currently, however dosn't warrant my atention.
 
I've really played Diablo 2 to the death. This is new, I'm not saying it's better though. I thought so at first, but it's kind of slowing down.
