Worth about 20 hours or so of play, but lacking any real challenge at least on normal difficulty. We played in 3-player co-op and I think I used fewer than ten health potions throughout the game, despite having hundreds. I did focus on having lots of armor, though, so maybe that's why. Friends died several times later in the game due to apparent one-shots, but I suffered no such difficulties. I may have died once, if at all.

I played an engineer and found the abilities lacking. Granted, I only invested heavily in a few skills as I'm not very good at managing large numbers of abilities, but it was a little bit boring to be honest. I just kept an eye on my health orb, made sure my bubble was up to absorb damage, and popped a self heal in the event my health dropped at all. Rinse, repeat. Bosses failed to change things up.

The story is on the weak side and I only half paid attention to it: BBEG is trying to do something bad, so chase him down (i.e., navigate world areas and defeat the bosses left in his wake) and ultimately catch up and defeat him just before he can do the bad thing. The details seem kind of convoluted and random, but I get the feeling that story is largely secondary in games of this genre.

My biggest complaint is, I think, a problem of the genre: ability spam. It's all flashy effects (especially with more players) and lots of baddies on screen at one time and it becomes a bit of a mess that's hard to decipher. You don't really end up paying much attention to what's going on onscreen or who you're currently attacking, just choose a new target if the current one dies, occasionally trigger an offensive ability if you're feeling spicy, and watch your health. That seems to be the way other games (Diablo, et al.) play out as well and it's just doesn't seem that much fun to me, though I'm hardly an expert and maybe other genre staples are more interesting.

It's an okay game, just nothing remarkable. If you don't already own it from the many bundles it's been in, you can buy it for just a few dollars on sale. For that price, and with friends, it's worthy of a playthrough. Just don't set your expectations too high.

Personally so much more enjoyable than the other two from this series. It's still a ton of fun solo

One of my all time favourite ARPGS

(played this on PlayStation a while ago and it just feels so much better on PC)
