GAMINGtruth's own Indie Games Editor Derek Strickland delivers the verdict on Din's Curse, the amazing action RPG dungeon crawler from Soldak Entertainment.
"Din’s Curse is a formidable release in the expanding marketplace of dungeon crawlers, one that provides near limitless playtime with high replay value while staying true to the genre’s classic feel. Soldak has created a winner in Din’s Curse and its DLC Demon War, creating an impressive fantasy world full of evil demons and endless dungeons that adequately define the genre.
With a multitude of character possibilities, a huge expansive collection of loot, randomized dungeons, and a quirky and different style, Din’s Curse has proven itself a worthy addition to any RPG fan’s library." --Derek S. GAMINGtruth.com
Din's Curse is now available for PC on Steam for $9.99, and the accompanying Demon War DLC for $4.99.
Over the past years, numerous Diablo clones have popped up everywhere. Since Blizzard released Diablo, there have been a lot of games featuring dungeons and loot collecting.
In a culture of gaming that often demands a constant stream of new substance and material, it is quite ambitious to reignite some of the basic mechanics that many great games-of-old flaunted. Din’s Curse takes what seems to be a leap back in time, implementing components that many Diablo, Gauntlet and Warcraft fans will immediately recognize...
This game looks really interesting, I haven't heard much about. Might pick it up.
I played the demo on the weekend, it's quite good, lots of risk v reward situations and as the blurb on their site says "Like Diablo but with dungeons that fight back".
There are also a bunch of modifiers you can put on the game when you start a new town, they set the conditions for victory and such, that could add a lot of replay value. Hey it's $8.99, I've paid more for a Hamburger, it's a good deal even if it's not an up to the minute game in terms of graphics and bells n whistles.
Soldak Entertainment has released new updates for fantasy action RPG Din’s Curse, available for download now from the Soldak site. Along with many other things, these updates add a Randomize button to the new character screen to randomly choose a character’s name, class, and options.
This is definitely a must-have for all action RPG fans. If you love Torchlight and Diablo, you'll assuredly love this slice of Indie goodness.
Good review, Deekers!
