About
You are one of the three survivors of the slaughter of Castagath. Rescued by Grand Inquisitor Heimlock, you were drafted into the Republic’s Army of the Purifiers at a very young age to be trained in the military academy and become perfect soldiers against the supernatural. You also had the chance to benefit from Heimlock’s occasional advice and training, which led you and your childhood friends, Valeria and Edric, to be called the “Children of Heimlock”.
Recently, the Brotherhood of Dawn has infiltrated the Crimson Keep, a mysterious republican fortress lost among the northern deserts known as the Red wastes. While the purpose of the attack was unclear, the republican Senate voted a retaliation act against all known locations of the Brotherhood.
Led by Grand Inquisitor Heimlock himself, troops are soon deployed on the Coast of wrecks, near the city state of Stormfall, to terminate a camp of Brothers. You are, with your two childhood friends, part of operation Dawnbane, under the supervision of Justicar Maëlys.

игра хорошая но убрали онлайн режим и это ужасно.
可惜,没更新了
Keine Ahnung warum alle meckern das der MP aus ist ,abgesehen davon ist es ein solides gutes Game das sich in der Kampagne nicht hinter Diablo verstecken muss ,also wer auf Diablo oder Grim Dawn steht kann als Einzelspieler hier bedenkenlos zugreifen
垃圾中的垃圾
класс)
Mucho por pulir entiendo que a todos no les gustara
good
[code] [h1]Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem — “Diablo 3 at home” with CryEngine drip (Linux test + first 2 hours)[/h1] [b]Playtime (this session):[/b] ~2 hours [b]Platform:[/b] Linux (Windows-only game, so Proton/Wine setup) [b]Engine:[/b] CryEngine 3 [b]ARPG background:[/b] I’ve played enough Diablo-style games to smell the inspiration instantly. [hr][/hr] [h2]TL;DR[/h2] Wolcen is a gorgeous-looking ARPG that (so far) feels like an easier, smoother-brained Diablo 3 clone wearing a CryEngine graphics coat. The first hours are playable and can be fun if you just want loot explosions and screen-clearing skills, but the game’s reputation is basically: [i]amazing potential + rough execution + years of “why is this still broken?” energy[/i]. If you buy it: [b]get it on a deep sale[/b] and go in expecting jank, not a genre king. [hr][/hr] [h2]First 2 hours — My honest vibe[/h2] I’m early, so this is “first impression” territory, but the DNA is obvious: [list] [*] Combat loop screams “Diablo 3-inspired” (movement → pack → skills → loot → repeat). [*] It feels [b]easier[/b] than I expected — less punishing, less demanding, more “turn brain off”. [*] The visuals and effects are doing a LOT of heavy lifting. The game [i]wants[/i] to impress you with spectacle early. [/list] It’s not trash in the first hours. It’s just… not original. It’s like someone studied Diablo 3 and PoE, then tried to land in the middle — but without the depth that makes those games stick long-term. [hr][/hr] [h2]Graphics & Art Direction[/h2] This is Wolcen’s strongest weapon. [list] [*] High-quality lighting and materials (CryEngine flex). [*] Spells and effects look expensive and punchy. [*] Dark fantasy vibes with a Warhammer-ish / Doom-ish edge in places. [/list] Even people who hate the game tend to admit it looks good. That tracks with my experience. [hr][/hr] [h2]Combat Feel (aka “the clunk question”)[/h2] Here’s the thing: early on it feels playable, but Wolcen has a long-standing reputation for: [list] [*] Animation lock / input delay feeling [*] Combat sometimes feeling “muddy” instead of snappy [*] Balance being all over the place depending on build/patch [/list] In my 2-hour window I didn’t hit the worst of it yet — but I’m going in with my eyes open because the community history around this is LOUD. [hr][/hr] [h2]Builds, Skills & Identity[/h2] Wolcen’s big claim has always been “flexible builds” — the rotating passive wheel / “Gates of Fate” style system. In theory: that’s cool. In practice (from years of community feedback): a lot of nodes have been buggy / unclear / unexciting, and the game often drifts into “stack the meta ailment / god build or suffer”. My early impression: [list] [*] It’s fun to tinker, but it also feels like the game wants you to follow a “works or doesn’t work” path. [*] It doesn’t scream “deep” like PoE. [*] It doesn’t scream “polished and consistent” like Diablo 3. [/list] So you end up with this weird identity crisis: a gorgeous ARPG that sometimes feels like it’s cosplaying the big dogs instead of being its own beast. [hr][/hr] [h2]Story & Presentation[/h2] Wikipedia summary vibe (and what the game is going for): dark fantasy, 3-act structure, you’re tied to the Purifiers and a larger conflict. The community consensus over time has been mixed: [list] [*] Some say story/cinematics are a highlight. [*] Others call it generic or unfinished-feeling. [/list] I’m too early to judge story properly, so I’m not going to pretend I finished Acts and endgame when I didn’t. [hr][/hr] [h2]CryEngine 3 — why it matters (and why you feel it)[/h2] I don’t have deep CryEngine experience — I mostly know it from [b]Crysis[/b], and that’s basically the “poster child” for CryEngine visuals. But the bigger CryEngine conversation I shared matches what many devs have said over the years: [list] [*] Amazing visuals, but historically rough documentation and smaller community vs Unreal/Unity. [*] Tooling/editor/asset pipeline has had a reputation for being “AAA-oriented” and unfriendly to small teams. [*] Heavy C++ reliance can shrink the talent pool and slow iteration. [*] Licensing / restrictions historically rubbed people the wrong way (even if that’s not always relevant to typical games). [/list] Translation into player experience: if the dev team is small or under-resourced, CryEngine can be a blessing for visuals… and a curse for stability, workflow, and long-term support. [hr][/hr] [h2]Linux / Proton Notes[/h2] Important point: [b]Wolcen is a Windows-first game[/b]. On Linux you’re relying on Proton/Wine translation layers. So my review angle is: [list] [*] If it runs stable for you: great — you basically got a “Windows game on Linux” win. [*] If you get crashes / weirdness: it’s hard to separate “Wolcen jank” from “compatibility layer jank”. [/list] Either way, the fact the game is Windows-native matters. Linux players should expect extra variables. [hr][/hr] [h2]The Long-Term Reputation (based on the mountain of reviews you provided)[/h2] Even if my first 2 hours were “fine”, Wolcen’s history is what scares people off: [list] [*] Launch was infamous for bugs, progression breaks, server issues. [*] Balance has been described as a roller coaster. [*] Some passives/skills reportedly didn’t work properly for long periods. [*] UI/QoL complaints are constant. [*] Some updates allegedly caused progress pain / wipes / broken saves (depending on era/mode). [*] Communication issues / trust issues with dev handling (a recurring theme in your pasted reviews). [*] Multiplayer support being ended is a massive red flag for anyone buying it for co-op longevity. [/list] That’s not “one salty reviewer” — that’s years of the same patterns repeating. [hr][/hr] [h2]Pros & Cons[/h2] [b]PROS[/b] [list] [*] Looks incredible (CryEngine lighting and effects go hard). [*] Early gameplay loop can be fun if you just want ARPG dopamine. [*] Build system concept is genuinely interesting on paper. [/list] [b]CONS[/b] [list] [*] Feels derivative — “Diablo 3 / PoE echoes” more than its own identity (so far). [*] The game’s historic bug reputation is brutal. [*] Balance + clarity + QoL complaints are common and persistent. [*] Windows-first (Linux users add extra risk/variables). [*] Long-term trust problem: many players don’t believe updates will “finally fix it”. [/list] [hr][/hr] [h2]Verdict (from a 2-hour first impression, with history in mind)[/h2] If you want a pretty ARPG to smash monsters for a while, Wolcen can scratch that itch. But if you’re hunting a “main ARPG” to grind for years, theorycraft deeply, and trust your time investment? This game’s legacy makes that a hard sell. [b]Recommendation:[/b] [b]Wait for a deep sale[/b] unless you’re specifically craving a shiny Diablo-like snack and don’t mind risk. [b]Score (so far):[/b] 6/10 first impression [b]Confidence level:[/b] Low-to-medium (because I’m only 2 hours in, and Wolcen’s problems tend to show up later) [/code]
打完半成品的主线战役之后确实没什么可刷的后面的内容有点枯燥,因为是一个半成品,被工作室放弃的游戏,可玩程度仅限于初次体验,而且剧情相当不完整,因为烂尾了,只能说就和评论区说的是一样的,最好不要带着脑子玩这个游戏,因为你带着脑子玩这个游戏会发现这个游戏很多东西随着制作组的跑路而结束, Bug有点多,但是回档的bug并没有遇到,也许是因为运气比较好的缘故,总归玩起来其实没多大问题,但是这类游戏。他缺少装备重复获得的可玩度,因为没什么好刷的,除非你想着拿这个游戏用来放松心情,就存在着硬刷,也不是不行,后期纯刷的玩法,几乎无东西可刷,但是打折就10块钱啊,10块钱虽然体验了一次半成品的剧情,但是隔壁13块钱的有完整的剧情和高重复游玩的可玩性,只能说见仁见智吧
Výborná diablovka s hezkou grafikou a zábavným bojem. Vybrané části okolí lze rozbít a shromažďovat zlaťáky. Lootu padá možná až moc, většinu není třeba ani sbírat nebo lze hned prodat. Aktuálně jsem chyby nezaznamenal, optimalizace je ok a hratelnost dobrá i s vysokými detaily na herním notebooku s RTX 4050 na 2K externím monitoru. Porovnávám nejvíc s Diablo 3, kde Wolcen u mě vítězí ve všech ohledech. Hrát lze za 3 postavy (klasicky bojovník, mág, ..) k dispozici je i truhla k předávání lootu. Prostředí se v jednotlivých aktech mění a občas lze navštívit podzemní průchod k splnění nepovinného úkolu. Hodnotím jako parádní a zábavnou hru a doporučuji 8/10.
