I compare it to another game: Diablo 3!
For me it is exactly that, only in 3rd person ... So I knew what it meant when you repeatedly dies very early in a Boss. NO, the difficulty is not too heavy. The game just want to explore everything and does not go through such a fool ... Say the magic word is loot .... and collect XP! If you realize that a job is too hard, then you have to strengthen his character halt. This one notices in some cases only how much there is to explore away from the main road!
That's why I come back to like Diablo. Da isses exactly. If you do not have enough level and armor you have to collect beautiful Loot stop first.
I and certainly very very many will love the principle. Others who should expect Hack n Slay make gaaaaanz far NEN drum bow.
I love the game. Yes I really love it ... but it is certainly only for friends of games like Diablo and (although I have not played it) apparently the Souls games!
I promise: If you liked Diablo 3, you will love the game here!
