    diablo3 pretty much kill all my desire to play Arpg since i thought nothing new is gonna to bring in to the genre, but this game tells me different. it allows you switch between ghost world and real world. and the team making is also very refreshing. story is amazing. blizzard developer should play this game and see wtf they did wrong with diablo.

    A good surprise for me. Nice graphics, good musics and voice acting. Interesting story for an ARPG and a lots of characters to incarnate .You should give it a try.

    I played Diablo, Diablo 2 and tried Diablo 3 but quit that a few weeks in. I love Shadows for its story and its fresh approach. It's finally something different in a genre that kept repeating itself.

    Ok I ll start by saying this game made me create an account here to rate and review it thats how much I liked it and want to support it any way I can. I am a very hard to please gamer especially with single player games these days I think most suck.

    But Heretic Kingdoms is very very good. Interesting story check. Immersive gameplay check. Cool graphicks check. New and innovative    Ok I ll start by saying this game made me create an account here to rate and review it thats how much I liked it and want to support it any way I can.

    But Heretic Kingdoms is very very good. Interesting story check. Immersive gameplay check. Cool graphicks check. New and innovative features unlike any arpg before check.
    It also includes an amazing soundtrack to wrap things up and the dialogue and voice acting is immersive but also fun.

    10/10 would recommend to everybody. Arpg fans and non arpg fans.

    I haven't finished the game yet. I am halfway through chapter 2 but I am already looking forward to replaying it with the other characters. And I am really exited that there is book 2 and 3 coming!

    Ok for negatives I can think of 1 thing that kinda bothered me that there is no respec. Not even confirmation when you pick skills to level up. But I read a dev post somewhere that respec is coming so its all good.    … Expand

    Heretic Kingdoms saga returns in dignified style. Too bad that a good atmosphere, great dialogue and the alternating of action heroes is corrupted by some technical difficulties in the fight and backlogs in the optimization and user interface.

    A game that may be too classic and entertaining, but the joy won't last for long due to its poor pacing.

    A classic RPG, well-executed, with an intense storyline and good graphics. It has some bugs, needs more variety of loot items and enemies, but it's an interesting Diablo III alternative.
