i made it to the end, was a bit disapointed by the final boss. i like the game overall though and because it kept me playing to the end i rate it 5.
i dont know why there is so many stats and resists, i only stacked attack and ignored the rest. also everything on the screen is so small, it would have been so much better if the map was bigger and the camera scrolled with the character like in diablo. also for some reason this game remind me of TES arena, i know they are all different in gameplay but maybe its the feel of old graphics and hardcore dungeon crawling
I don't agree that the companions are stupid. I think they were made running around and picking random targets on purpose. Imagine if they always fought the closest enemy they would basically stand on the same spot in the center and tank mobs the whole fight. It would be boring and on the lower levels they would die easily. They move to avoid being surrounded, to distract enemies and to make fights more dynamic. It's not often you get companions in an action/rpg so personally I'm totally ok with them.
Forest time attack is HIGHLY imbalanced. It took a dozen tries with full runes to beat it. I wasted like 20 times more money on it then the actual reward was. Add at least another 5 extra seconds to the time as the mission just doesn't make any sense as it is now. Most people would probably just skip it.
