When is a Thursday free-game give-away not a Thursday free-game
give-away? When it's not on Thursday, duh! It also helps that this
time the freebie is on GOG.

   It's a top-down action-RPG with a fantasy setting. Not
   a bad game, but honestly, there's nothing novel about
   it either. It's a run-of-the-mill, solidly-made Diablo-
   clone. But it's nothing more than that. The sort of game
   you're happy to grab (and maybe even play) when free, but
   -except for diehard fans of the genre- nothing you'd ever
   actually PAY for.
 
 
Anther free game; hey, that's not a bad start to a weekend. Better
than a kick in the teeth (then again, most things are). You've got
slightly less than three days to add this game to your library, if
you're interested.
 
 
 

Yeah  so I started it and it's... milquetoast at best. There are
 some nice designs in there and the soundtrack is almost good. But
 the game is quite plodding and predictable.
It's one of those games that make you really value the work good
 level designers put into games, because the ones who worked on
 this were mediocre. It's not bad. Just mediocre.
