Champions of Norrath plays better than any other hack n’ slash or brawler I can recall. The control setup is outstanding in its intuitive layout and simplicity, and I can’t recall experiencing a more balanced single-player experience, regardless of genre. You never feel like the game has gotten ridiculously hard, and if you do foul up and die there is always a reason for your death that is readily apparent, you know, like going toe to toe with a 20 foot tall, club wielding, behemoth was probably not the best strategic solution.
