Greetings,

Might still be a little soon, but those interested in trying early access type of games.
This one looks interesting, seems a little like Diablo meets POE, going to get early access for myself @ $19.99, it is out for some time now though, find it strange it is not mentioned yet, unless my searching skills went for ***. :p

An interesting review by Rhyker...

Anyone played it? Comments?

Cheers!

I'll definitely play it when it comes out, as I'm a huge fan of ARPGs. I'm not interested in early access though - I want to play finished games.

Played it for about 7h so far, seems interesting.
And a wake up call that I need to upgrade my pc at some stage :D
I really enjoy the skill tree and how you can build the way you want to.
I ended up playing a sword and shield battle mage, taking points in the tree that gives me spell damage based on melee damage, and casting spells puts up a wall of flame around me igniting enemies, while also giving me more damage and elemental resistance.

Played till about lvl 17 (20 is cap in alpha). Then my game crashed so I was out. Also no new shields dropped ever :/
The game is super pretty though :D

*the game is fully in alpha though, with missing sounds etc. Like daggers make zero swinging noise, and other weapons almost feel like the sounds are place holders for something else. Animations also seem a bit funny, but you get used to it :)

Streamed a bit of this last night. Immediately got 2 randoms popping in asking how I was finding the game.
Seems people are really into it :)
On a side note, my 2nd char is crushing the game. :D

So I bought it on steam.
My Pc cannot run it.
I meet the minimum specs but yeah very slow even on their new Low settings.
Getting around 10-15fps at most.
Will wait a while for more stability.
Cannot afford an upgrade at this time

Haven't bought this yet, the comments about it being very early alpha kinda put me off for now, will keep playing gw2 and pick this up after the next POE league :)

Hit level 20 on my first character, definitely a game I'll follow through development to eventual play.

Its a ton of fun despite being Alpha and still lacking content.

Game is fun, had a few game breaking bugs pop up, one of them being I was just walking along and then couldn't move, nothing in my way. Character just won't move anywhere, can attack but only in place.
Graphics are very nice, and the game has potential. However, it is a far cry from PoE. Much prefer PoE.

Also my map overlay doesn't work which is extremely annoying when trying to find a quest goal.

I bought it since it was on special, as I am sure I will play it at some stage, but for now, it's far too early to spend a lot of time on. Game crashes, as mentioned, the map overlay thing is a torture, and the content and polish that's missing is very noticeable. This is of course note remotely a criticism, given the early alpha. I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

I found that when you get stuck in place, you force a movement by trying to open a portal. This works like an /unstuck command.
Although I've also managed to walk off the game area and get stuck in a river. :D

I also found the game crashed a lot more with screen shaking, so turned that off as much as I could.

The difference in power between my newly rolled mage and my previous melee dude is retarded.
The end boss died in something like 10s with my mage. Fireball shotgunning :D
