Throne of Darkness receives a lot of attention from reviewers right now (us being the next in the line soon), and here we have two fairly positive ones: The one at Gameraiders (a very detailed one) rates the game 85/100 and comes to this conclusion:
For the most part, Throne of Darkness is a very fun game and I enjoyed it immensely. Other than the oblivious AI problems (such as the computer controlled characters not using their magic very well) and lack of a skill setting, everything else was a riot to play and I'd recommend it to any of my Diablo-fan friends.
The second review can be found at Escmag, and their rating is 7 out of 10 keys. Their summary isn't that positive, although their review states the game is still fun to play:
Throne does have some high points, but anyone who has played Diablo II has already seen them done better, and in a way that makes the game actually fun. If sequel talks are on the table, I welcome it, I just hope they realize that games want to see something new, not 18 month old gameplay with prettier graphics. |
