This game has plenty of potential, but the only real way to access it is to shell out fifty bucks a month for live.

When I first played this game, the first few hours were great. Although it did take me a while to figure out the controls, and effectively map spells and tech, once I had that down, the game was a blast. I had a great time mowing down people with a minigun, or slashing them in the back with a katana. However, after playing every map at least five or six times, it became old. Fast. Fortunately, the game rekindled itself once I activated my gold account trial. The addition of much more players (opposed to the three populated dedicated servers I had access to on my silver account), as well as multiplayer achievements, I once more had something to do. However, I still think the game would rank much higher with the addition of more weapons, maps, abilities (not tech or magic, i.e dual wielding), and a map editor, of which a few have recently been promised by the devs in an update. All in all, I don't recommend buying this game just yet, but waiting for a few more maps to come out or a price change. If you really have the urge to buy it, you won't be disappointed, as it is a very fun game. However, considering the price tag, and that its multiplayer only, it may be worth the wait to look for a price change or downloadable content.
