My opinion: This is a really fun game. The mechanics work as advertised, and I find myself discovering new spell "recipes" all the time. It's not super easy to get the hang of, but the more skilled you get the more awesome you feel, it's really rewarding. It's a shame that multiplayer mode struggles with connection issues atm, and the password option hasn't been patched in yet. I played some coop with 3 friends, but whenever someone got a black screen, lost connection or was booted to windows (which did happen from time to time), it didn't seem possible to reconnect to the game without rehosting, which would reset the level progress. Once the bug fixes are applied, I can see this game having loads of replay value, especially in the challenge modes, where you fight off streams of monsters. The combat system is just pure fun. | ||

If you don't at least try the demo, there's something wrong with you. | ||

Examples: I wanted to freeze an enemy but then got hit hard and wanted to cast healing, so i had 2 ice, 2 healing in my bar and pressed "cast on self" (middle mousebutton)... i became a solid iceblock and got crushed a second later. I was flying on the balloon ship thing and the goblins attacked, so i casted fireball (stone+fire), but mistargeted and blew myself over the side and died a horrible death. I fought a troll, freezed him and wanted to crush him with a big stone, but i accidently pressed middle mousebutton and killed myself with a big rock falling on my head. I was at low health, but wanted to finish off the enemy caster with a lightning, so i pressed lightning... which killed me because i was hit by a water spell. I fought a monster and nearly had it dead, but was at low health myself, so i wanted to heal myself but instead pressed the right mousebutton and healed the monster... which thanked me by punching me down a cliff. I can't wait to do coop, just need to convince a few friends. | ||

Just started watching, but I wanted to comment on the ingame language... It's mostly gibberish, with some swedish words mixed in here and there. "Dunka dunka" I have used, not common in everyday language tho. It can be when you slam something into sometihng else, or it can be a old guy complaining about his neighburs music having really loud beats. | ||

At least another patch is promised for tomorrow, so we'll see how that works. If you can play the game it is really really fun, especially with all the friendly fire and instant kills flying around. If the demo crashes for you, it is because they didn't patch the demo yet, so it has all the bugs that the first release had and some more. They said that they want to patch the demo as well, but the real game takes priority. If you have performance problems with the demo, try running it in windowed mode. | ||
