The value story
The value story
It has been discounted 50 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 85 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Victor Vran ARPG ($19.99, scores 70) and Torchlight II ($3.99, scores 84) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

damage sponge simulator that is trying to be like path of exile but isn't. Wish I could get a refund.

Worth it if on sale for less than $10. Its a generic uninspired copy that offers nothing special of any kind. Boring enemies, boring classes, boring weapons. Its not that it's a bad game...but it isn't a good game. Solid 5/10.
Its like everyone jumped on a hater bandwagon for this game. I am older, played TL1 and TL2. I say, ITS A GOOD GAME! Lots of builds- pet abilities - Lots of fun to be had. its worth the 6$ on sale! ( I like it better single player, maybe that's just me but I have a lot more fun on this game single player)
