The verdict
A simplified, console-style Obsidian action RPG with a decent story, characters and co-op, but not a true Dungeon Siege successor. Skip it if you want party-based depth or play on mouse and keyboard.
Great for
Players wanting a cheap, story-driven couch co-op action RPG with a gamepad and no Dungeon Siege expectations
Main risk
Expecting a Dungeon Siege 1/2 successor and getting a shallow, linear console-style game with bad camera and controls
What players love

Poor co-op: shared screen and shared inventory

“In co-op you cannot change the camera angle AT ALL. You are stuck looking down, zoomed in so far you can't see sh*t.”
