Right off the bat, i'm going to say that this game is a bit difficult to write about. For one, i've only put an hour or two into it. Second, it's simply a difficult game to write about.
It takes some of the main aspects of a third-person RPG (Diablo-esque camera, not Gears of War) and a bullet hell, mixed with some very pixelated graphics and, unsurprisingly, the end result is quite an interesting game.
From what i've gathered so far, the object of the game is to survive in the world for as long as possible. Your first character is a Wizard, shooting magical bolts from a staff, with a special ability that creates an explosion of fire across the immediate area. You level up by killing scattered (though not like Skyrim/Oblivion where you can wander for a couple minutes before finding any life) enemies and completing quests, which are simply mini-boss battles. After killing a mini-boss, you will often find a bag'o'loot where they died, containing valuable items such as potions and new equipment.
Once your character dies, you get to see the stats of your character and how much fame they gained. (Fame is important, though i'm not sure exactly of it's purpose as of yet) and you can reincarnate yourself and start anew. Although, if you reached Lv.5 before dying as a Wizard, you'll notice that you've unlocked the Priest class. After you've reached Lv.5 with a Priest, you unlock the Archer. After that, Rogue, and then Warrior. There is a second tier of classes, and to unlock classes in the second tier, one must reach Lv.20 with two first-tier classes. There are three third tier classes, which can be unlocked by reaching Lv.20 with two second-tier classes.
This game is free, yes, FREE, to play on Steam, and I will try to update with new info as I get more into the game. Even though it's free, you still have the option to spend real money to get ahead in the game.
Next post will be coming up soon, hopefully followed by another, and another, not several months apart :D
