Great stress relieving
Action-RPG
The game is billed as an
action-RPG. The number of NPC's is limited, the game is relatively
linear, save some sidequests that are optional but not exactly secret
since every NPC with something important to say has an exclamation point
above their head. You start the game as a single hero (or heroine as is
my preference) with nothing but the tunic on your back. You only get to
chose male or female, no races, classes, or even differing appearances
(except your tunic color). The reason I gave it four stars for an above
average game is the beautifully rendered ancient worlds. If you love
ancient history this game is even more fun, but even if you don't, the
graphics are great. Also they have a Mastery system that is innovative
and allows you to choose two separate Masteries (second at level 8) to
customize and diversify your character. You can use many different
weapons and are not restricted based on your Mastery but rather your
attributes, (a weakling will not be wearing heavy armor, etc.) This game
is all action, there is no running errands around town for this guy to
get that information etc. which happens often in RPGs (I love that kind
too, don't get me wrong!). You go out, kill lots (lots, seriously) of
enemies, build up nice and quickly, then talk to some guys, then go out
and kill some more. You can find tons of items, some ordinary, some
magical, some rare and some legendary. You also can make artifacts by
collecting ingredients and recipes and taking them to an enchanter.
A
few more pluses, some Mastery skills allow for summoned "pets" (wolves,
elementals, etc.) to help you; skill points foolishly spent can be
reclaimed and reallocated with the help of a mystic and some cash. If
your inventory gets a little full and you don't want to sell certain
items there is a helpful caravan driver where you can store stuff and
buy more room if needed. I am a fan games like Baldurs' Gate,
Neverwinter Nights, etc. so this game was a departure from that more in
depth style of RPG, but I still found it fun and the price was right so I
would definitely recommend it for some stress-relieving hacking action.
Titan Quest
I am not much on games
usually. My husband wanted to try it out as it sounded interesting. It
is as much fun to watch him play as it is for me to play myself.
Creating characters with different attributes and combinations is
spiffy. Even for the novice player, it is not very hard to pick up the
concepts of staying alive and moving forward. I have a terrible sense of
direction so the map is a lovely thing to have so I don't spend all day
wandering about and retracing my steps. The game is addicting so it
helps to keep a clock handy. We don't play online with others so I
cannot speak to that. I do like this one tho.
Titan Quest: The Sleeper hit
Great game. Huge replay
value. Create a Spirit/Nature character and find an item that a
Warfare/Defense character would love? There is a transfer vendor who
moves items from character to character quickly and easily. Accidentally
spend a skill point on something you hate to use? A merchant can
untrain it for you for a reasonable fee. Includes nine completely unique
skill sets (Nature, Storm, Earth, Defense, Warfare, Rogue, Hunter,
Spirit, and Dream). Pick two skill sets to determine your class. Pure
genius. This game has everything that Diablo 2 missed. Yes, I said it.
Diablo 2 has faults.
Only complaint: Ironforge isn't putting out
more patches for Titan Quest. I want more content. This game rocks.
