I bought this back in 2016 when early access released. It changed a lot since back then, but I feel it was always for the better. Finally, they are ready to release. Pretty hyped for this.

It has elements from Diablo, PoE, Doom and some other games mixed together and innovated

Skill tree:
You can turn the 3 layers independantly to make even more unique builds. Though not everything will be viable I guess ^^

Well, finally this is coming out. I heard that this game went through a pretty bigl overhaul pretty late in development which had the community divided.

Not sure how that went, but I'll keep an eye on this and reviews after release.

Yes they even changed the name completely. It was called Umbra at one point.
I am expecting big things from this.
I played it at the beginning of 2019 the last time I think and it was quite fun, but restricted to the first act and only level 20 back then. So I don't know how good the long term motivation and endgame will be

Well it did the trick for me :D Otherwise this game would totally fly under my radar.
I also asked some of my friends and it seems we'll be buying this game together. I like it that it has coop component, just what I was searching for :D

Depending on more responses (and I have no idea if something like that is implemented) I might do something Teamliquid Clan'ish here and update OP

FYI: It was originally planned as an "open world" game, but they didn't have the ressources to make the world come alive. Instead they went with a more Diablo/ PoE style of world. This is also the reason for most negative reviews on steam

How's the game compare to PoE or other major arpgs? graphics look nice but it takes a lot to pull me away from what I'm already playing. If I have spare time and don't want to play PoE I usually turn to Grim Dawn
aka "neophyte". learn lots. dont judge. laugh for no reason. be nice. seek happiness. -D[9]

This is a tough one.
Afaik it is more action heavy than every arpg before with dodge/ evade and has ressource management

You have three resources: Rage and Willpower(Umbra) interact with each other, using the Resource Opposition System. Stamina allows you to use a dodge-roll to avoid danger or travel faster.


Some skills use rage, some generate rage. Some use willpower, some generate willpower. This is very important to keep in mind when you make a build.

I know nothing yet of endgame and longtime motivation. We'll have to wait and see

About endgame:

Some of you have noticed that the achievements have been pushed on Steam, including the endgame ones. We would like to detail, without spoiling too much, what the endgame is about in Wolcen.

When you complete the three acts, you can access the endgame mode with all your characters. This game mode allows you to level up a new character without doing the campaign if you wish, by doing randomly generated dungeons. But mostly, it unlocks the endgame content and its rewards.

The endgame feature allows the player to construct buildings and complete projects for the City of Stormfall. These projects require resources that you will be able to gather by completing random dungeons with or without modifiers. The harder the challenge, the faster Projects can complete. As usual, completing higher dungeon difficulties will also grant you with more interesting rewards.

Once you complete a project, you obtain its dedicated reward and unlock other projects, which provides you with more and more interesting rewards, including additional bank tabs, talent points, components, dyes, and other cool stuff.

Here are a few screenshots of some of the projects you can complete and their dedicated rewards.

First review with a pre-release version is out. German: www.gamestar.de

Final verdict:

A great game riddled with bugs and crashes


Could have been a 8-9/10 but at the time of testing more 7/10 due to bugs

Cons:
- Story seems shortened and ends abruptly (budget cuts?)
- a lot of small bugs
- some reproduceable crashes


EDIT: It's not a Warcraft 3 Refunded bad, but it seems obivous they also released maybe a bit too early. Keep in mind that PoE and Diablo 3 also took time to be what they are today

Developer already stated there will be a Day1 patch to fix most, if not all of the performance problems. Fingers crossed

Looking forward to playing the game. Got really interested over the last week but told myself not to play before release as so much is going to change. From videos/streams lots of skills ask the player to be stationary for a moment? It's something I'm skeptical towards but it's probably going to help me not comparing Wolcen to poe too much.

Not really stationary, but some skills do seem to have some wind-up. From what I've seen these are under a second and seem intentional. But keep in mind that this can be changed when you alter your skills with runes.

The gameplay is really dark and gritty and the audio and visuals are awesome btw

Release Trailer. Those transformations and the thrown hammer look amazing. I like the endgame-concept, basically choosing to "build" a skill point or additional stash space. Hope it's tuned in a way that it takes some time. Guess you can compare that to d3 and earning your first set? And while it might be the same: wait a few minutes/do achievement x, it has a lot more style and allows for "easy" long term additions to the game.

The trailer looks good, but overall the game looks waaaay to similar to D3 for me, down to the fact that every single item occupies 1 or 2 slots in the inventory.
How will endgame coop be handled? So the goal is to upgrade stuff in the city, i take it everyone has their own instance and their own stuff to upgrade, so you cant work together with other people for a common goal, rather the whole party gets materials that they can each use on their own? And what about item trading, will it be like d3 or poe?

Well, it is the same genre in a similar setting. That said, it looks way more like a fast paced Grim Dawn than Diablo 3.

Endgame, we just have to wait and see

So, any TL.net netizen wants to post a short review of this for the rest of us? Steam seems to have generally positive reviews (~75%ish positive) but people say it is quite slow in the animations department, when compared to PoE and even Diablo 3.
Others are saying this is just a straight up copy of D3 with Malathael-like boss and another Butcher?
While some people are reporting connectivity issues others seem to be doing fine?

Come on, spill the beans!
