BTW, it has a Netbook mode. Just how low system specs can you run this on?

 

Low. Steam says:

 

OS: Windows 2000 or later

Processor: x86-compatible 800MHz processor

Memory: 512MB

Graphics: DirectX-compatible 3D graphics with at least 64MB of addressable memory (such as an ATI Radeon 7200, NVIDIA GeForce 2, or Intel GMA 950)

I've been following this game for a couple of months and I have to admit that it's even more fun than I hoped for. It's by far the best ARPG I've played since Diablo II. It's really fun, the atmosphere is nice, music is very good.

 

Overall, I like it. Now excuse me, I have an appointment with my destroyer...

[Guest Slinky]

I just watched a gameplay video at youtube and it sounds like Matt Uelmen hasn't lost his touch, the music is very diabloish. I always liked the music in Diablos. But goddamn I hate the Warcraft 3/WoW style graphics! Going to have to skip this one.

So do I but trust me it's not that bad. It's not as similar as you think. Give it a go.

[Majek]

Hmm it really does own. This will keep me occupied for the next week i guess. 20$ well spend again o.ob.

This definitely is the first game to clone Diablo to Diablo standards. I don't like how it's hard to see what's going on when theres a lot of enemies, but the pacing, balance, etc, is all great. The art style is terrible, but I can understand the decision as they're pretty low-budget, and the music/sound makes up for it. Level 11 Alchemist now, great stuff.

I like how companies have been trying to emulate Diablo for over a decade now and the first one to actually do it properly is an indie developer that slapped a game together from scraps in under a year.

The webpage crashes all the time for me, meh. Maybe later when the traffic has gone down.

Playing it too, started a pistol dual wielding vanguard.

Cool hack 'n' slash is cool, though my laptop barely manages to run it, have to install it on the desktop PC later.

Leather tunic = cool piratess clothes.

Also, Brink can keel over and die.

The stylised WOW type visuals don't appeal to everyone and I can sympathise, the game is quite satirical though, having missed out on the Diablo games in my teens I probably can't appreciate the change but so far it's not exactly a dark fantasy

Graphics are the last thing I consider important in games, but the WoW style always makes me go

[WDeranged]

 

Yeah I felt a similar sensation when I tried to play WOW, it's not my cup of hot, steaming turd either.

Runic Games already had a lot of experience in developing a Diablo styled game considering they are essentially comprised of the team that was working on Mythos before Flagship Studios went under, including some Diablo veterans.

[Majek]

Well i don't consider the graphics to be W3/wow like so that doesn't bother me one bit.

so its better than titan quest?

[Humodour]

so its better than titan quest?

 

Yes times 100.

[entrerix]

thats good because after ten hours of titan quest i put it down and wondered how i could get those ten hours back. the game was utterly unsatisfying.

[Aristes]

It's better than Titan Quest, but I don't think it 'owns.' It's a solid game and a lot of fun, but I imagine I'll toss it aside the second one of the big titles hit. Still, it's a lot of fun. Great job with not a lot of cash behind it, at least according to ol' bucket head.

[Majek]

OMG you can wield a pistol and melee weapon at the same time. So if anything survives your ranged attacks, you beat them to a pulp if they get close. :thumbsup:

[Oner]

I gave my girl two pistols and so far they only got close when I got an FPS lag.

I imagine I'll play it once or twice then toss it aside until the free to play MMO version comes out. This game would rock multiplayer.

After spending a good few hours on it today that's how I feel, It's a blast but it probably won't last forever, random dungeons or not. Two or three playthroughs are a certainty though, and of course this MMO project has to be tried when it's available.

 

Still, it's really addictive, and I can't quite figure out why I *need* to keep grinding, feels good though
