I'll be getting this, and of course be willing to play co-op with anyone, providing theres an achievement for it. When does this come out

Drinky and I had an awesome realization, that I am to music games as he is to Eastern European Diablo clones.

Game releases this week.

Pretty interested in this one but I'll wait to hear what you guys think.

All XBLA games have free demos, give it a try and see for yourself.

Ok, this is based off the demo

* You only do the first quest - Slay 15 boars
* There is a town, but you are limited to only talking to the beggar to activate the quest, a portal appears to the dungeon when you talk to him
* Dungeon was pretty straightforward, it tells you if you haven't killed all the boars on the particular floor you're on - you can't go back up once you go down, but you can exit to the town through the start menu
--- There was only three floors on the demo level, and they were pretty confined and small
* You can lock onto targets, but it makes your character go slower
* You earn new abilities as you level up, I gained a dash attack on Level 2
* There is no way to make the map BIG, you have to deal with the dinky map in the bottom left, so its hard to tell where you have or haven't been
--- You can toy with the camera using the right stick, though most angles are pretty shitty
* I played as the Soldier (there is also Archer, and Sorceress) - slashing is slow and clunky, though this may be remedied in later levels and better equipment
* There is loot, I scored a shield, and then I scored the same shield and it put it on my list, probably so I can sell it back in town
--- However, there wasn't much loot besides those two shields, and a bunch of potions I gathered, but this was only the intro level
* Graphically, it reminds me of FATE, it has those ugly chibi characters, but I am sure FATE looks better of course
* Equipment, skills and items are handled nice and clean, UNLIKE a certain overrated shitfest space opera RPG
* There was a boss at the end, a giant Boar Leader with a giant ax. It wasn't hard at all, but it looks like these are set at the end of each quest, unlike the dungeons which are supposed to be random (i never replayed the demo to find out if dungeons were indeed random)
* The meters for your health/magic/morph are SMALL, even on my set, so get those magnifying glasses ready

I rather liked it, it's simple and straight-forward, so I bought it once the demo was finished - unsure whether achievements can be earned in co-op, or how co-op even runs online

Well yes but I won't have access to the full game and won't know how it holds up over time. An essential trait of any dungeon crawler! Also some of the guys here have decent taste in that genre and I trust their opinion more than any janky review from some of the big news sites.

Also more importantly I won't be able to play it until I get out of work. :(

it is a $10 XBLA game, try not to overthink this!

got it. it's fun, even if the random dungeon design and quests are awful. it's like an evolved gauntlet moreso than a true diablo clone, but it's still a good co-op experience.

the fact is that it's awesome and you shoudl buy it

unless you are hard up for a tenner, in which case i got nothing to say and it's your fault that indie developers will never prosper and the industry will be overrun with Activision Blizzards and EAs

hey it's your conscience not mine

(note: pc gaming doesnt count because nobody plays that anyway, xbla is the future)
