Since I did buy, I do intend to play it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know, I know. But don't make the game less with knowledge about it, I always say a game counts twice if you don't know what to expect from it. I always buy 1-2 games per 2 months without really looking at it, and i already found a lot of them what i loved after playing it, this was it with Septerra Core, after playing and finishing it I realized how great it is, and it was good that all minutes of it were a suprise to me.

213374U Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Installed it, played it for 20 minutes, and deleted it. That's pretty much all I can remember. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Dhruin Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) You might check out this recent thread at Octopus Overlords - no guarantee on spoilers; I don't remember. I only played a preview version. I thought it was an interesting little Diablo clone with nice art scifi art but bad animation. The actual campaign is quite short - you play the same basic storyline but from the intertwining perspective of the four different characters who sometimes cross paths. I hear the gameplay gets more interesting with the latter characters, so you may want to miss the first guy (Johnson?) and just play with one of the latter ones. It was developed by 2x guys, so don't expect too much, but it's fine for some action at $5. Edited January 16, 2007 by Dhruin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diogo Ribeiro Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 In any case, I have to go with Dhruin's comment. The game is a nice variation of the Diablo formula and the excellent artwork and setting do score high in my book, but at some point you'll realize it's just really Diablo all over again but not as well developed. The story isn't that great either, but if you're really into the game, replaying it with the other three characters will allow you to experience all of it. I really didn't get to spend much time with it as I wanted but from the demo and what little I managed to play from the official version, 5$ doesn't seem like a bad deal, though being the arrogant prick I ocasionally am I'd only get near it if it was closer to 2$.

alanschu Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I played the demo, and did not buy the game, so take that for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I had a lot of intrest in this game when it was being developed... but never got it. I've heard far too many bad things about it... seems it was really broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It looked too Diablo-like so I avoided it. I hate Diablo.

alanschu Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 If nothing else, for 5 bucks you can't go wrong. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's typically the way I'd see it too. If you don't like the game, the investment was minimal. If you love it, then it was a steal of a deal. I think my impressions were a lot like other people. I started off enjoying the game, but it just started to wear thin as I played through the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell Kitty Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I played the demo and then read that all dungeons in the game were no different to the one in the demo, so I lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
