Pwngamer.com says: It’s been a while since an RPG had that real addictive quality about it, to be exact it’s been 11 years and thats the year Diablo II was released. I fondly remember the days where you would have a world which you could play over and over with an ever changing map, enemies would spawn randomly with rare monsters that could posses any number of unique spells/abilities, and best of all was the item drops!
GAMINGtruth's own Indie Games Editor Derek Strickland delivers the verdict on Din's Curse, the amazing action RPG dungeon crawler from Soldak Entertainment.
"Din’s Curse is a formidable release in the expanding marketplace of dungeon crawlers, one that provides near limitless playtime with high replay value while staying true to the genre’s classic feel. Soldak has created a winner in Din’s Curse and its DLC Demon War, creating an impressive fantasy world full of evil demons and endless dungeons that adequately define the genre.
With a multitude of character possibilities, a huge expansive collection of loot, randomized dungeons, and a quirky and different style, Din’s Curse has proven itself a worthy addition to any RPG fan’s library." --Derek S. GAMINGtruth.com
Din's Curse is now available for PC on Steam for $9.99, and the accompanying Demon War DLC for $4.99.
This is definitely a must-have for all action RPG fans. If you love Torchlight and Diablo, you'll assuredly love this slice of Indie goodness.
Over the past years, numerous Diablo clones have popped up everywhere. Since Blizzard released Diablo, there have been a lot of games featuring dungeons and loot collecting.
In a culture of gaming that often demands a constant stream of new substance and material, it is quite ambitious to reignite some of the basic mechanics that many great games-of-old flaunted. Din’s Curse takes what seems to be a leap back in time, implementing components that many Diablo, Gauntlet and Warcraft fans will immediately recognize...
This game looks really interesting, I haven't heard much about. Might pick it up.
I played the demo on the weekend, it's quite good, lots of risk v reward situations and as the blurb on their site says "Like Diablo but with dungeons that fight back".
There are also a bunch of modifiers you can put on the game when you start a new town, they set the conditions for victory and such, that could add a lot of replay value. Hey it's $8.99, I've paid more for a Hamburger, it's a good deal even if it's not an up to the minute game in terms of graphics and bells n whistles.
