| I have seen little snippits about this game here and there. In my boredom till WAR comes out I am trying a few games out here and there.
I downloaded the demo on steam tonight and played through it.
I am getting the game to play through single player, but I think it has a coop mode too.
Anyway, you get to play an evil bastard who can control a mini horde of goblins. These little guys will do anything for you, even sacrifice themselves to give you HP.
It is a comedic type game as well, with their sayings and such. One mission instructs you to destroy a pumpkin farm. As you control your minion horde (with the right analog stick of a controller just like you would control your guy with the left stick...so its very intuitive) through tearing up the place, they will find trinkets here and there such as armor, or weapons and equip them. If they find gold or "essence/souls/whatever" from "good" creatures or any other loot for that matter they will pick it up and bring it to you.
The only thing that sucks, was that the demo was extremely short. I only got to play 5 minutes worth, but I definitely want to play more. If I were not getting a PS3 very soon, Id shell out money right now to see how the rest of the game pans out. However, I will check out the game later ;p |
