FAN ART
PROS
Story is interesting and weird especially how game starts out very different.
Ability points are cool as offers alot of build options also great as can respec them to make own build such as strength build or many many more.
Weapons are cool as over 90 and all different in look and all have own stats, and own feel to them which offers alot of variety and can experiment to find which suits you best.
Enemies are very cool liked they all had own look and all had own attacks to learn in order to beat them.
Characters that you meet on your adventures are cool as all have own look and all have own personality to them.
Areas are big and full of own feel to them and also have loads of secrets to find and more.
Old school difficulty as game doesn’t hold your hand so any enemy can easily kill you.
CONS
Alot to learn can be daunting as so many ability points can put into and much more.
Difficult game as you die very easy and can be frustrating.
Confusing as where to go first or what to do first as many different options.
