Yeah, I haven't written it off yet. I just hope that the combat turns out to be decent, but sometimes trailers aren't able to show you how good a game is, as is the case with
Din's Curse and its expansion Demon War
Developer: Soldak Entertainment.
Imagine Tristram. Now imagine that the whole world is covered with towns like that one. That is basically the idea behind Din's Curse. In this hack-and-slash games, the player can choose between 7 classes with three talent groups (there are no trees here) or make a hybrid that can freely pick from all talent groups, but is limited to having only two of them. The towns and the dungeons beneath them are randomly generated and one of the unique selling points of the game is the fact that the enemies within do not merely exist to be gutted by your avatar. Instead they have agenda's of their own, may become stronger by killing enemies, build structures to hamper your progress, and may even invade the town and kill off its inhabitants (pray they don't get to the quest givers). Dungeons are also filled with traps and cave-ins are a constant threat. The game also comes with quite a lot of options. Change the strength of monsters, have more but weaker monsters (or the opposite), have the game create larger dungeons, give your character a particular handicap (always hungry, hardcore mode, only being able to carry cursed items etc.). Also has multiplayer.
