The console version is stripped of features that are core to gameplay. Wait for a sale and buy this game for 10 bucks. In short, what could have been a great game is demoted to average due to lack of effort in the port. 4) Button presses unresponsive, character aiming flawed, hits not registering and other minor but noticeable technical issues. 3) Inventory interface and management system could not be less user friendly. My disappointment after receiving a berserker-class locked two-handed sword from the final boss of the game is what led me to write this review.
The game tries to compensate for this by showering you in loot, so statistically speaking if the game gives you 4 items, at least 1 should be suitable for your character, but somehow that is not the case, especially in boss fights. Imagine my surprise when, at the end of a majority of boss fights, the loot was a two handed sword, or a warhammer, or a magic wand, or a piece of armor that either had a strength or focus requirement, or simply required a different character class to be equipped. I chose an Outlander, which is a ranged-based character: pistols, shotguns, bows, crossbows, etc. The game lets you choose between several different characters, each of which will be adept in certain types of weapons and will need to prioritize one of the character stats (strength, dexterity, vitality or focus) in order to access better weapons. This is, by far, the most egregious, so most of the text will go here. Fortunately the game is simple enough and being an old game there are plenty of tutorials on the Internet, but still the game not having a single tutorial is simply rude. But anybody coming to this type of game for the first time is going to be lost. Most players probably are familiar with Torchlight, Diablo, etc. However, there are some elements that greatly subtract from the fun of the game: 1) Zero tutorials. If you like Torchlight, you will like this game: it retains the strong points of the series: a clone of Diablo 3 with a lighter tone, some quality of life improvements and a level of simplicity that sets it apart from Path of Exile, that game where you need to write a doctoral thesis to decide which skills to unlock. The answer to that question, in the following paragraphs. I never buy games at release, but this being an old game and the price being only 20 bucks I thought "what could go wrong?".
