Dragonkin: The Banished

nice game, nice skills not another ARPG copy

Pros: Hex system is good everything looks good combat feels nice boss fights are cool early endgame progression feels really nice (tons of different ways to increase your power and in pretty significant ways) Cons Progression in late endgame falls off a cliff just doing things for so long and getting basically nothing for it pretty buggy co op could use work not seasonal for now, so if future content (aside from bug fixes I assume) is important to you, well theres no promis here.

Le seul kack n slash qui fait loot du divin moins bon que du rare de 8 niveaux de moins. Hallucinant.

I got this game from a friend and started nice but then it was just painfully boring and the helix system or whatever is called could be better and not that complicated for no reason.

awful

Dragonkin: The Banished is a brilliant Isometric ARPG that brings back the feeling I had when I originally played Diablo 2. I have played this on both PS5 and PC Now before I go any further I have to say this game is not perfect, there are glitches and bugs such as some ground pop-in, but for me these are very minor and do not detract from a brilliant game. The graphics are good, although some may not appreciate the cartoony character style, with great skill effects and spells. Lets get the negatives out of the way. Characters come in 4 classes, Mage, Rogue, Tank and Berserker, each being tied to a single sex and character design, you are not able to change the look of your character or even re-name them, which for me in this type of game is quite a big drawback and almost put me off when I first got this game on PS5 (where I have over 3000 hours gameplay) Also the voice acting is not the best, especially for characters Alix and Yula where I thought the performance was very wooden and awkward. Onto more positive things. The gameplay is amazing, the skills and spells look and feel great, just as you would hope from a hack n slash ARPG, fast paced customisable and satisfying. Sound is great and the story is good and engaging and, I could write much more but to be honest, writing this I just want to go any play it again. I highly recommend.

Overall I love this game. What really hooked me specifically is the Ancestral Grid. It's such a clever system that turns skill upgrades into its own little puzzle minigame. Something about it tickles my brain just right. I've spent dozens of hours just tinkering with it. Other Pros: -Satisfying combat -Lots of abilities and crazy builds to try -Tons of character min-maxing -Gorgeous visuals -Cool boss fights Cons: (I didn't think anything was outright bad, but some things could be better) -Many of the quests are fairly simple (kill some enemies, defend this point, use this object over here, etc.) -The story isn't very interesting (though I find the world very immersive and well built) -The game balance needs a lot of work (there are so many interesting abilities and talents to build around, but most of them are terribly weak and a few of them are ridiculously powerful - looking at you Earthen Rage + Corrupted Blood Barbarian :D )
