Fun RPG/Hack n' Slash game
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Dungeon Siege isn't meant to be the most complex and interactive RPG; this game was designed to be a fun hack-and-slash adventure. And, for the most part, it succeeds. The graphics, while generally nothing more than eye-candy, are quite impressive, and do help drag you into the game world. At times, I've noticed it's hard to see exactly where you should be going, but a little backtracking and careful inspection will send you back on your way. The game flows fairly well, but remember that your skills advance depending on what weapons/spells your characters use. If have a character use a mix of melee and archery, then don't expect that character to perform as well as a straight melee, or only archery one. I started playing on Hard, but later turned the difficulty down, as I repeatedly had to save and reload as enemies became significantly stronger. When facing waves of ranged enemies, be prepared to have a few characters knocked unconscious/die before all the enemies are dead. Little features, like pressing z to pick up all items near your units, really show that the creators of this game wanted you to enjoy it, and not be stuck in overly tedious moments. Overall, don't expect this game to be the second coming, but it can be a fun diversion while waiting for the next uber-game, or when you just want to sit back and kill hordes of enemies.
