Not too bad, but those damn trees will annoy you!
The gameplay is your normal action RPG with a decent combo system that works well mixing up how you deal out the damage and is easy enough for new/casual gamers to pick up and play. The spells/skills for each character are a nice mix that keep things interesting. I am currently playing through a game with my wife, she is the Scout, I am the Mage. Like most games, the mage started out slow, not dealing too much damage and taking a lot of damage, however now while the Scout can dish out a lot of damage to an enemy, the Mage can wreak havok on groups of enemies with punishing Blizzard and Vortex spells. All skills are upgradable, increasing damage, duration, area of effect etc. Then of coarse there is the tons of items to attain during the dungeon crawling games such as this one. While you pick up quite a bit of items, most of them are practically worthless, or they make you choose between two things (do I want to keep working on my spell power or do I want to sacrifice some for more mana?) Your weapon is slotted with four settings which you can install gems that increase stats or give you new (all passive) abilities. Any gem that is set into your general slot will change the appearance of your weapon, which is always nice. There are some repeats however. The music in the game is actually pretty good. One level in particular that I noticed was crawling with undead and the music was great, sounded like an eerie opera. Set the mood for the board and thats great since I don't normally notice music in a game at all. All in all, I'm not completely disappointed in this game, I think its worth playing if you're craving some kind of RPG and you spent the cash on a PS3. Don't expect the world out of it, but take what you can get which is a decent action RPG with nicely customizable characters, good combo system that comes with horrible camera issues.
