Having come across videos of that new Dragon Age game and its (by the look of it) cool looking combat I've gotten the urge for something similar. Action RPG of some kind, being able to rock on as a wizard and blast spells all day. Some tactical element to spell slinging and comboing would be nice.
Fair warning that when I played it with a friend (two-ish years ago), it was broken and abandoned. Couldnât play in co-op for more than 30 minutes without a disconnect, some DLCs didnât even start, singleplayer you had to downgrade to an older version or else it crashes every so often. Every loading screen had me praying the game doesnât poop the bed. It was probably fun at some point, but it needs engineering attention and hadnât gotten that in years when I last tried it.
Is it good solo? I don't have a lot of time for games but this looks like it might be able to scratch my (MMO)RPG itch a bit without being too much of a time sink.
I enjoyed it solo, though it did become impossibly hard at one point. I don't know if you need to have friends to help or if I just needed to be better at the game!
I definitely completed it solo. Finding spell books definitely helps, but just crafting spells with the given elements can be more than enough to muddle through.
You can give yourself armor to assist in your normal squishy wizard self that definitely helps with the tougher bits.
