I played the demo, and am not impressed.
The enemies seem to be wearing boots of speed, or have perma-haste of some kind on them. They always run faster than my character. What's up with that?
Like others said, playing a magic-user is a passive suicide. The spells don't do enough damage, and the initial healing spells are quite laughable. I selected a pre-generated character, who's something of a fighter/mage. She gets mopped up very easily at every turn. It seems the enemies are several levels too high for a starting character.
The interface reminds me of Fallout 2. I hate Fallout 2. Enough said.
The only thing that I liked was the demonic spirit.
