    A strictly amateur game. It comes up short even when compared to the original Diablo, released over 10 years ago. The graphics are mediocre, the gameplay is mediocre, the sound is mediocre... after playing for a few hours I uninstalled it. It's just not interesting. There is nothing you haven't seen before - and better. I encourage the developer to keep trying, this is their A strictly amateur game.

I encourage the developer to keep trying, this is their first effort, goodness knows how they convinced strategy first to pick it up - this one's a miss, wish you better luck on your next one. NB: As a side note, this program was made with Dark Soft. As an example of what Dark Soft is capable of doing, I was fairly impressed - this is a commercial quality (albeit LOW quality) game. It's just that the makers lacked interesting new ideas. Looks like Dark Soft is quite capable of making good games, IF the makers have good ideas.… Expand

    I'm only giving this game a 1 cuz i too liked the name. Stay far far away from this title. I am boggled that this title has a May 2005 release date. When i played it i felt like i flashed back to at least 1995 or earlier. Were all the develpoers caught in a timewarp. Very poor game, managed to get stuck in the tutorial missions. Got fed up and uninstalled in after about 15mins of I'm only giving this game a 1 cuz i too liked the name. Stay far far away from this title.

    nec·ro·ma·ni·a n. An abnormal tendency to dwell with longing on death. It only makes sense that a company like Strategy First would release this relic. A total waste of money. I'm giving it a "1" only because I liked the title. The game is dead alright.

    More importantly, it feels like an old, forgettable game risen from the grave. With a little more depth, a little more polish on the visuals, and some better character balancing, it could have been one of those "simple but fun" games like Katamari or pulling lint out of your bellybutton.

    The game's poorly implemented design, clunky interface, Stone Age graphics, and horrible sound effects combine to form a product that is impossible to recommend to anyone.

    It's doubtful you'll find six other online players but you can set a trap and invite six of your friends to play via LAN. It will be the last you ever see of them. Make sure you take their keys.
