MY first impression when I see the game menu is, where to click for Multiplayer Mode? Yes, this game doesn't have it.

The game looks after the click-and-hack style of Diablo II or Darkstone. To begin with, you choose from one of the classes, namely a Survivor (theif-like class), a Warrior, and a Wizard. There are both male and female for every class, but nothing different in the abilities. Every class has there own unique skills and spells, the character sheet work like the one seen in Diablo II.

The first to be compared, is the cutscences. I compared it to Diablo II, and it made this game no cutscence at all. I would think that they should have left them out instead.

The 3D engine is very similar to Diablo II, but with a lower angle of gamer's camera view (usually about 45 degrees) and many improvements. Almost all items and objects are interactive. Move away a barrel after inspecting its content, and you may find a key underneath, or even a secret opening in the wall. Multiple small windows could be opened and moved around the screen, compared to the Diablo II's left and right windows when viewing the character sheet or inventory etc. Some special effects like dripping water and burning flames are well done, but other than that the higher resolutions don't make much of a different to Diablo II's 800x600 gameplay.

The game don't have many bosses to fight, even when fighting one, the thrill of all the boss (including the last one) added together can't even match fighting Mephisto in Diablo II. Diablo II fans should know what I mean. Fighting standard monsters like orcs and skeletons makes the gameplay rather dull. The special "Special Moves" of the characters make it easy fighting against large group of monsters.

The developer has definity came up with a fantasic game engine, but without a good plot and multiplayer will not get this game too far.
