I like this game, don't get me wrong. It just isn't in the same category as DivDiv or DKS though. It is only underwhelming when compared to its predecessors. It is above average when compared to the genre as a whole.
My hope is that they're holding all the aces past the demo area. My concern is that supposedly there is only a character level of 20. Since you can hit level 12 in Cyseal, this is going to make for much less content in DOS than in DKS, unless leveling slows to a crawl. I was level 19 before Oroboros Falls or whatever it was called. The leveling speed seems very similar to DKS so far, so it sounds like less content. Since I paid $500 for the priveledge of helping to fund this game, I'd like to see more content, not less.
