The RPG mechanics come into focus before too long, with each character getting access to two skill trees, with points that are earned by levelling-up. Sure, most of the enemies in these dungeons can be skipped, and the characters can race their way to the end of each dungeon to quickly advance the story, however the majority of loot is dropped by the enemies as opposed to the treasure chests, so taking the slower and more destructive approach to destroying the enemies is the more advantageous path. For the most part, the maps are quite linear, with various areas that branch off into their own paths that contain loot in the form of treasure chests. Which is a shame, as this is a fun top-down dungeon-looter set in a rich world filled with plenty of lore to draw from, that deserved a much better and gripping story.ĭespite this, the story is secondary to the gameplay, and each mission involves doing the same thing: explore a dungeon, and destroy all the enemies on the path to the end, while collecting as much loot as possible.
The stories themselves are quite simple, with the voice acting delivering some moments that elevate the story based on their performances, but are otherwise just wallpapering over what is a weak story. Beyond that, are the two DLC campaigns, with 'The Tomb Kings' and 'The Forges of Nuln' covering Act V and Act VI. This campaign is covered from Act I to IV.
However, each character brings their own flavour to the overall story based on their interactions with the other characters.Īs for the campaigns themselves, there are three parts: 'Magnus' Curse' is the main story that focuses on fighting the Chaos Horde, and defending the Kingdom, which has begun to fall after King Magnus has become afflicted with a mysterious illness. The characters have their own separate campaigns to play through, and each of their journeys have unique variances with the dialogue and cut-scenes - but for the most part, these consist of the same missions. Each of these characters play differently, varying with their base attacks, as well as having their own unique abilities, skill trees, and equipment drops. Slayer Edition features six different characters to choose from: Konrad Vollen the Empire Soldier, Elontir the High-Elf Mage, Bragi Axebiter the Slayer, Elessa the Wood Elf Scout, Keela Gunnarsdottir the Dwarf Engineer, and a brand new character, Jurgen Haider, the Witch Hunter.
