A 3D Diablo clone, nothing more. Weak, really weak. I got bored in the first hour.

Well, I gave it a shot - good thing I didn't buy it.
The graphics are pretty good, but don't justify the ammount of resources needed to play the game. Sound is OK, but it could've use some more music.
The gameplay is monotonous - hordes of monsters to slaughter.
The weapons are poorly balanced; I had some insect swarm throwing thingy and I could've wipe all of the enemies just standing still and being patient...
Dialogs...well, the're not spoken dialogs, wich seems to me a very poor game design choice. It's simply unforgivable not to be able to squeeze some dialogs in 6 GB of data.

All in all, the hype was false.
