There's a decently fun (if unremarkable) game under those odd design choices....
The biggest hurdle to enjoying this game is the camera. I simply hate having to adjust the camera at the same time as I am fighting, which inevitably happens. All too often, it results in my running into another group of baddies when I haven't even polished off the first one yet. The developers shouldn't have tried to innovate here (can this be called innovation?) and should have stuck to the tried-and-true, over-the-shoulder chase camera. I know it sounds like a small thing, but believe me...this one game mechanic, if it stands, will be enough to put a lot of people off the game. It's that annoying. The story? I don't know yet...but ever since text games like ZORK for the PC, it's all about "Kill Foozle" so I'm less concerned with that.
Graphics? Not bad, not great. The textures seem....I dunno, "muddy" somewhat, not crisp or clear enough, and the animations for characters or spell effects are, again, average. There's some clipping and a few "invisible walls". For reference, Titan Quest, another game of this type, has graphics which are head and shoulders above MKA. There's really no comparison. The MKA manual promises a really great experience if you have a high-end GeForce card (I have a Radeon X800 XL), but somehow I doubt it. Still, they do the job.
The sound, in my opinion, is sub-par...but not for the reasons others have mentioned. The voice acting I've heard so far is no worse than anything you'd get in the majority of games. It's the sound effects that bother me. Combat sounds are weak, and non -istinctive; no real metallic clangs from swords or axes, no thudding smack!! from the blunt weapons. Spell sounds are REALLY weak, just generic "bzzzzzHTTT" and "WOOooossHH" sounds. And the creatures themselves are anything but frightening. I haven't had any issues with bugs or crashes yet, nor any problems with load times. To me, the real problems with this game aren't technical, they're design problems. The first patch implements auto-stacking and fixes a few bugs, whatever they may be....but it's the camera and really lacklustre sound that bother me the most. If it wasn't for those two things, I'd be tempted to finish and even replay this game just because of the different character classes. As is...well, maybe I'll keep playing EVE until they roll out a few more patches.
