The game is set in the richly detailed world of Ancaria, and features six playable characters, including a gladiator, wood elf, vampiress, and the angelic seraphim. Each character obviously has his or her own strengths and weaknesses and, as in Diablo 2, the main melee character is definitely the best choice for beginners. The latter two offer some novelties not found in other action-RPGs though (vampires own at night, obviously), as well as looking rather hot (yes, I'm a sad, sad individual), so if you're a veteran of the genre you should take a look at them (a nice, long look…).
