Harbinger preview at Gamers Temple

Gamers Temple has posted another hands on preview of Harbinger. Here's a clip:


The game's isometric camera angle and control scheme will be familiar to you if you've ever played Diablo, and control is simple and mouse-driven.  Click where you want to go, left-click an enemy to initiate a melee attack, right-click to fire a ranged weapon, and click the wheel or middle button to use a health power-up.  It works well and frees you to concentrate on the attacking enemies, which is important because they all have different modes and styles of attacks.  Not only that, some are more susceptible to certain types of attacks than others.  The real challenge to the game is discovering how to best handle each type of enemy, and how to deal with simultaneous attacks from several different types of them at once.  And when you complete the game with one character, you'll have to figure it out all over again because of the different attack styles of the game's races.​

There's a real challenge in shooting something until it's dead? It might be fun, but I wouldn't exactly call it challenging.
