Fun hack and slash. I can see why it was so popular back in the day. Its free-2-play now and worth your time if you want to give it a shot. Difficulty is pretty easy, you find a lot of loot that gives you insane stat boosts. Playing a tank class and only a few bosses came even close to killing me. System is very forgiving, so you can use any equipment as long as you have the stats. Good old school fun.

I gave this a real shot and it didn't work for me, for two specific reasons. The visuals are far too bland. Everything is brown and gray sludge, and after a while I genuinely couldn't tell what was happening on screen. The bigger problem is the passive tree. It's overwhelmingly complex and effectively locked in — the respec costs are punishing enough that a bad early choice follows you for the rest of the character. That combination is rough. If a system is going to be that intricate, I should be able to experiment with it. Instead the game expects you to read a guide before you start, and I'm not interested in that. Clearly works for a lot of people. Not for me.
