Mythos was free, this will probably be free with microtransactions.

Steam. download. Twenty smackers. Legal.

However, I don’t want to pay monthly to play a Diablo clone.

If it’s any consolation, this game is mainly so the team can fund another MMO, which shall be based on the single-player game. They learned their lesson when Flagship went down and took their lovely Mythos MMO with it.

Yeah, I had noticed that. And you raise a good point, it does lack multiplayer, but… multiplayer holds little to no draws for me, so it’s definitely a “your mileage may vary” issue. I do agree that multiplayer could definitely be an enhancement of the basic formula, though.

Y’see, I did actually try the demo last night after we talked about it, and I DID only play for a few minutes. I slaughtered my way through the first areas of the mines thinking to myself “Well, this is pretty cool. It’s fun, easy on the eyes and the mountains of loot that come from everywhere are fueling my greed!” And then I picked up a fairly rare pistol, and the entire reason why I didn’t think I’d enjoy the game reared its ugly head. The first thing I thought was “Ah man, Frenchy would love this if he plans on playing the ranger… oh wait… alright, I’m done.”

The game has no multiplayer. The entire draw of hack-and-slash dungeon-crawly loot-volcano games for me is the ability to play them co-op, so when a game that by all logic in my mind should be an incredibly fun multiplayer experience shows up and blatantly states that it is simply a single-player experience, I really have no interest.

Also, on what we talked about last night, there is a ‘Shared Stash’ north of where you start the game that allows you to share items between any of your characters.
