I found it frustrating, kept dying at that bit after the village and it would send me all the way back to the end of the dungeon. ******* irritating.

Yup me too. Middle mouse button to cast spell, right mouse button to cast spell, space bar to cast spell. Make your damn mind up! :rolleyes:

I couldn't work out whether that revive spell was supposed to revive the skeletons or what.

I'm having an odd problem when attempting to connect to multiplayer, it freezes then turns my internet off and won't come back on until restarting the computer...

Avoid this game for now, really really buggy. Will be good when its fixed though.

It's a major pain, I wish I knew how to fix it, multi looks so awesome!

The SP is great, I just keep dying! Wet + Lightning always gets me...I now only use Ice + Water, combo 4 times and arcane. Hit someone up close and boom, insta-death.

Just installed the demo and after the splash screens finish, my screen constantly flashes between a sandy colour and the menu behind, I have to end-task it...

Played it for a good few hours last night, it could do with a mid level save, but then if the game is fairly short it adds to challenge.

Getting the defence and attack combos depending on the situation is fun and tricky, loads of spells so you shouldnt be bored of ways to attack. Co-op was fun for a bit whilst it worked as it has crashed a few times on me, but early days so hopefully a few fixes. Its quite heavy of GPU as well in places, so needs optimized considering its no crysis 3d engine.

Revive is on coop partners and I second the multibutton cast sentiment. The number of times i exploded myself by charging up 5x earth with the mmb makes me want to scream

Couldn't stand the terrible in game 'sims' language that everyone speaks. I'll try the game again sometime when I have a little more patience... or remember to press mute.

How could you not like 'BANANER!'

also, does anyone know how to alter the search filter settings on the online mode without having it search first? It's been speculated that it could be the reason to my online troubles...

I have the same problem with this game which i also get in some others im certain the issue you are having is this http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18227944

The voices for the characters is REALLY starting to get on my nerves :mad:

, they use the sims language. Also some parts of the game are incredibly jerky while performance is damn good, so not frame rate related. I believe the developers are going to patch that though. Might turn voices off if i can!

Too many damn combos middle mouse you, shift surround i think or this key for that e.t.c

I'll give it some more playtime but i'm not a lover of paradox games because they have such brilliant ideas but flawed in execution

Why is this unavailable in the UK atm on Steam? Or is it the same everywhere?

Yeah... It sure is - 3 days after Evilsod posted that.

Gave the demo a rock, really unique and fun gameplay.

Might even pickup the full thing

Lyon85 · 27 Jan 2011 at 17:14

This is totally unplayable with 2 other friends, if they don't start getting some proper patches out in the next few days it's gonna be time to start demanding a refund. Steam do that right? Offer refunds for completely broken games?
