So i caved in a bought it, as i can't resist a good hack-n-slash and loot-em-up. This is the PS3 version.
So you start the game and you can pick 1 of 4 characters, each is a different class and atributes.
So we have Lucas who's your fighter/melee class, Anjali your Mage who uses fire and long range attacks, Renhart who's a Magician class and uses tricks and spells, and finally Kristina who another fighter but uses either short range pistols or long range shotgun type weapons.
So your character is in the Legion an organisation who protected the people for 400 years, but now its fell on hard times and its members are being hunted and killed by the evil Jeyne Kassynde.
Its your job to find members and rebuild the Legion.
The game starts from the demo if you tried it. So onto the gameplay and its surprisingly good, ive put it on hardcore and its pretty challenging. Each character have 2 stances which lets them use different skills, R2 lets you change theses stances. L2 blocks, and L2 + square lets you heal. So theres a nice range of tactics and how you enjoy playing hack -n-slash games. The graphics are pretty good and theres loads of effects going on when using spells etc, not much slowdown but just occasionally when the screen gets very busy, ie usually like 10 or more enemies characters etc. The games has really great lighting and uses it well going from dark dungeons to lush forests and a day and night cycle. The story serms pretty linear and you watch cutscenes and choose responses ala dragons age ,ME2,scroll wheel.
I tried multiplayer and its drop in drop out , this could be great, but until now ive had loads of drop in and out with people not staying long or you helping them do a quest then they log, oh how i dislike randoms.
Overall i think its a great game and would go with say 83%, as i said in my demo impressions its not going to change the world but it's a fun and solid game. Now wheres my +3 pants of super vitality.
