Nintendo power gave it a 80% score if that helps. It's really a solid score from them, they are not a let's give good scores to everybody type of mag.

On a different note VVVVVV got a 90%... I told you guys, this game is superb!

It'll probably be a game I get when the price drops. That tier of games where they're good, but not must haves or day one buys.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

read some reviews, listen to some feddback, etc.
Usual stuff.In my opinion it looks decent, not 40 worth for my taste but 30-35.

Also didnt know it ws releasing already, what a great marketing.

I'm buying it this sunday. And paying more than you... so yeah, I recommend it

I loved the demo. Like you said, very diabloish. The only thing I was kinda worried was the visuals, but not the case, the game looks good.

If the focus is multiplayer, I don't know, but it does not look like it, TBH. Like diablo, same game with or without other players, it's just more chaotic with them. As for number of save slots... I really don't know about it too :/


You're right. It looks like singleplayer and multiplayer use the same dungeons. It is this way in the demo (I now tested multiplayer too and have used all 6 game-starts of the demo). So the mission is very likely long enough to make the money worthwile. And playing the demo is a blast. I want to increase my level above 4 and want to get the good stuff. So I will probably buy it on friday. Thanks guys for your help.

I havent played it but I thought it looked kind of boring. When I first saw it I was excited because it was one of the first 3DS RPG'S. Now I'm like, "meh."



its all about co-op, i wouldnt buy it if it was just single player...if you like co-op rpgs, then this is a must buy



Tried the demo. It's pretty bland and uninspired and the drops in framerate become bothersome after just 10minutes of play time. I revoke any prior comments I may have directed towards Torchlight for being uninspired and generic as Heroes of Ruin takes the cake and any subsequent cakes. I know well enough that ARPGs shouldn't be conclusively judged until you get to the end game content, nor should Demos be regarded as indicative of the final game experience, but the gameplay and design in general reeks of 'rushed to shelves'.

I strongly suggest you give the demo a go before deciding to purchase. In the event you enjoy the demo for god knows whatever reason, I recommend holding onto that money until July and August when a handful of great 3DS games come out.



Disregard the above poster, if you enjoyed the demo like I did you should obviously consider buying the game. It may have some issues regarding framerate and such, but that shouldn't bother you too much if you prefer playing solo. My copy is on his way to me and will arrive tomorrow morning and I can't wait to explore this game some more.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Demo's not bad.

I hope theres a decent EU community at least.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
