It will be a better gaming experience if it's meant for mid-high levels instead of from scratch again.

By KingLim | Review Date:
I'm not really thrilled with Shadows of Undrentide as it did not build up on the previous game either for character building or gameplay challenge. In fact, your character starts from scratch, which makes leveling up rather unexciting and it sort of distracts from the original game, almost like a failed spin-off.

The new character classes aren't much fun either, probably apart from the Blackguard, which makes for an interesting and powerful build, but nonetheless, the battle tactics are more or less recycled due to the low level limitations.

The campaign is rather short too, which tops your character to around level 12 or so, max, by endgame. There's a glitch you can exploit without cheating to level up your character cheaply at the start of the game, which you can easily figure out, but it only makes combat and further leveling up later on dull and uneventful. Well, all the complaints made me rather disappointed with this expansion, but it means I care!
