Lowest price yet:
Not worth it. It's literally a singleplayer MMO with console-like controls for the party, which makes combat control tedious.

Also it’s missing a ton of dlc, because EA were jewish af and cut out a thousand pieces of the game to sell as micro transanctions making for some weird holes in gear progression, notably swords. So you want to access the final tier of sword weapons? Well fuck you, gotta pay 5£ on origin for that, otherwise hope you like maces.

That's funny considering the fact that swords are best choices in most RPGs.
What a rotten way to suck

UnEpic is totally worth it. Demo here: http://www.unepicgame.com/en/downloads.html

Disagree.

It starts out really nice, and is enjoyable up until you realize certain facts about the game. Namely, it's a boss-run game first and foremost, everything else is secondary.

The stat- and skill-based character screen suggests a deep role-playing experience. It ain't.

There are seven boss fights in total, plus an eighth endfight. Playing the game up until the fourth bossfight is fun and fine, but then you get to the fourth bossfight and you realize you've been playing a lie.

The first three bosses are done proper; they present a challenge that you're supposed to overcome using whatever build you've made so far. But the fourth boss throws all that out the window. There is only one way to beat the fourth boss, only one build is allowed. Any ranged builds are instantly screwed, and IIRC only one melee weapon will work to defeat the boss.

By this point the player may have found a couple of places in the castle that allow for total respeccing of the stats. Turns out these respeccing-points are the most important locations in the castle.

This happens again with the seventh boss, where all melee builds get screwed and only ranged builds stand a chance.

This disgusted me so much back in the day that I quit playing the game at the seventh boss, and didn't bother with what little was left of the game.
