GamesFirst has taken a closer look at Throne of Darkness. Theri review awards the game with 3 out of five stars, and their conclusion tells you why they think it is nothing more than a mediocre game:
The game’s graphics are OK, but nothing special, and the monsters you’ll face are pretty predictable and, as in Diablo, often the same with minor changes in color or appearance. Spells look nice, but they’re much the same for each character, and the spellcasting system is very clumsy and limited next to, say, Diablo’s—especially since you can only access one at a time.
I’ve been tough on Throne of Darkness, but it’s not a terrible game—just an average one, and one that falls conspicuously short of its own ambitions. |
