What players say
The game is very simple, you're pretty much just running around, clicking on enemies and casting spells. Visuals look good and dungeons are interesting. However, after 14 hours of gameplay it kinda lost it's charm and I'm a bit sick of it >D

A fun classic I first played 13 years ago on the Xbox and still just as fun today. If you enjoy games like Diablo 2 and Grim Dawn, then I'd say give this one a shot.
