Running about filling enemies full of holes and arrows is great fun, and when you’ve finished Diablo 3 as many times as I have, it’s refreshing to see a different world and new enemies with the cosy feeling of familiarity from the gameplay. All the usual tropes are here blue named enemies are stronger than regular ones, whilst gold named enemies are the strongest and have extra abilities or powers that make them very tough to take down. Having chosen your class, you are thrust into the main part of the story, and if you’ve played Diablo you’ll be right at home. There is a good difference between each of the classes, and five minutes research on the ol’ interweb will reveal a plethora of character builds to aspire to. Duelists use rapiers, Mauraders are the tank class and so on. My not Demon Hunter is the Ranger class, which is a Dexterity based character which relies on bows to deal damage from a distance. There are six basic classes to pick from Duelist, Marauder, Ranger, Shadow, Templar, and Witch. Still, Derp LeGash was soon ready for action (yep, that’s my girl!) and I chose the class that shouldn’t ever be thought of as the Demon Hunter from Diablo… but is very very similar. This struck me as a little odd, as a unique name is quite easy to come up with on the spot. Naming proved to be somewhat tricky, as the first five names I tried to create had already been taken. Lioneye’s Watch serves as a hub, and there are waypoints in the various levels that can be activated to allow fast travel back to town to sell gear, and maybe get the new stuff that you need to take down a troublesome enemy.Īs the game begins, you are given the usual options are you a boy or a girl, what is your name, and so on. In the settlement of Lioneye’s Watch, a small band of exiles have banded together and formed a rough society merchants and NPCs are dotted around to buy and sell gear from, and will also give your character missions to achieve that will benefit everyone struggling to survive. But now everything lies in ruins – the dead don’t stay dead and the place is overrun with monsters. Wraeclast appears to have once been a thriving place, and the seat of the Eternal Empire and a race known as the Vaal. You are an outcast from the island of Orliath, exiled to a place called Wraeclast for an unspecified sin against the powers that be, and now sent to the aforementioned continent which serves as a penal colony. First impressions are good, with a suitably doom-laden story and intro to play through.
