Dawn of Magic

[Saxon1974]

Thoughts on this game? I noticed the use of "Old School" in the article.

The setting and story looks a bit strange to me.

The (russian?) trailer was awesome. The game itself not so much. Stopped playing when I realized the quests basically amount to kill x/collect y crap.

Are the environments and NPC's interesting? Is it fun to explore the world? Is the combat decent? Im sure its reali time but is there any strategy to it?

I wont buy unless I see quite a few more reviews, but that article at least got me interested.

Isn't it a fireball-focused diablo clone? Bah.

...I liked the "hardcore, graphics-driven RPG fans" part. Thought these are opposites.

Play the demo. I found it boring because the maps are not interconnected and kind of small. The maps don't feel like locations. They feel like unfinished levels in a map editor.

Wait for Hellgate London.

The game is a bit worse diablo than diablo itself, but a bit better diablo than oblivion, which kind of says everything....
