Overall - I am underwhelmed. I got no real sense of story or character, just endless hacking. Including random creatures spawning from rooms you have just emptied and KNOW have nothing in them. That happened a few times.
My thoughts about this :
- Haven't played the demo. Don't think I will. I'm just bored by the view of H/S and nothing else.
- Your reviews are reflecting more or less the same as in the parallel german-language discussion about it.
- Some like H/S (Hack/Slay - term developed while having the term "M/S" in mind) , some don't.
- By the way, I've often found in the official german sacred forum voices like " I
love masses of monsters !"
- the current fashion clearly goes towards H/S. Publishers see - that's my opinion - the megaselling [mega-silling <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> ] of Blizzard and Sacred, and believe that
this is the thing for the futture, especially considering tha these games don't need as much work as full RPGs need.
- (Therefore) We willsee much more H/S in the future, mainly bought by a younger generation.
