    I think one thing they should work on is making the combat feel meaty. Like, you bisected the dude with your shield, and it was like...plop. It didn't have enough oomph to it.

    Yeah I enjoyed it. It wasn't overly amazing or have any groundbreaking new things but it was solid, the gameplay was engaging and I liked the maps. If they expand upon the gameplay, give a better story, and add more gear choices I honestly believe they have a seriously good recipe for a LOT of success in the coming years. Anyhow, yeah, I recommend it as well. It's cheap and well better than its price which is awesome.

    So you actually do get both XP and loot from enemies, just not in the tutorial, but instead of losing souls when you die you lose any aquired XP you have gotten since you last bonfire and you get once chance to get your lost XP back, but once you level up your XP goes back down to zero so technically when you die you only lose the XP since you last leveled up and you get one skill point everytime you level up which can be spent on a skill tree but only at bonfires and resting at bonfires will restore both your health and mana, as well as fill up any consumables from your storage to max but all mobs and elites do respawn, just not bosses, the game actually has a pretty robust loot system with one handed swords, axes and spears, sheilds, as well as two handed swords, you can use any one handed weapon with a sheild or you can also dual weild any two one handed weapons, and while the game doesnt have individual pieces of armor we do get a bunch of armor sets, which just like the weapons and sheilds can be upgraded, there are a ton of maps and areas in the game, as well as a ng+ system, i ended up putting over 100 hours into a single character across 5 playthroughs and i just maxed out the skill tree at the begining of my 5th playthrough, with what appears to be no hard level cap, either that or its like 999 or something like that considering my character is level 536

    As a fellow part-time content creator, great job. I have really been enjoying your content and look forward to more. I do a lot of souls-like content, so I was interested to hear your opinions from the Diablo perspective. Staying with the ancient Greece theme, do you have any plans to play Titans Quest before the new one comes out next year? I would love to hear your impressions.

    • @krow7402
      @krow7402 9 месяцев назад

      Not the OP, but I loved Titan Quest. It was my first non-Diablo ARPG and I'm looking forward to Titan Quest 2. But I'm almost very interested in Path of Exiles 2 because of the mouse aiming, keyboard movement control setup. I think it might transform ARPGs as we know them.

      Its brutal, hard, you need to remember layouts of acts(until you find maps) and controls feels very weird from the beginning but funny af and very unic and when you learn combat it feels super cool and rewarding. I would recommend it but its very unic cup of tea and not everyone will enjoy it.
