OK, I warned you guys that this was a Diablo clone thread, so don't #%&*$# about coming in here.
This game (20 bucks via Steam) is getting good reviews as a nice hold over till Diablo 3 (2011, if were lucky).
So if your a Diablo series fan, then this clickfest action RPG might hold you over for a while.
A little to cartoony, and cluttered but a good game IMO, made by members of the Diablo 1 and 2 team.
Here's some screens from 2 of my charaters... Me as the "tank" with my K9 partner "Shadow", then some of my wife's character "Sylvia" with her pet cat "pussy". (I wonder if the cats name will be blocked. lol)
I posted about it in October. So since no one listened to me, I am going to rub some salt in the wound. It was on sale for 4.99 during the big Steam sale.

Something else good about it is that when you beat the game on a character, you can buy random maps and keep playing and getting other quests. I beat it on my alchemist and I think I was around level 33. I am currently at level 45 from just buying maps.
The bad, there isn't much of a story line. Not a lot of depth to it, but it does have that Diablo feel of running through a dungeon killing hordes of mobs and just getting better and better equipment. It's not something that will take a lot of brainpower, but there are times that I just want to run a mindless dungeon and this is perfect for that.
As far as multiplayer, they sold this as single player for two reasons, first to get a game out the door. Secondly I think they did it raise funds for the multiplayer version, although they have said that the multiplayer version has already been fully funded.
The guys who made this are great. Travis Baldtree is one of the main devs and he really listens to people in what they want. I have alpha tested a few games he has done and he was on the forums a lot. He would also jump in game and talk to people about what they liked and didn't. One of the nicest people you would want to know and he really does care about his games.
If you are considering buying this game, then I would suggest buying it. Not only because it's a fun game, but you would be supporting a good dev who will continue to make fun games.
