jlg6184: Anyone played Numen? Curious if it is worth it... (limited gaming funds, so I tend to be stingy, even on cheap games...)
I've played an half hour of it (been busy reinstalling and defragging all day after my recent format.) and from that half hour I would have to say that it's well worth $2 USD.
Picture Gothic (vast non linear 3D world) but with Diablo-style battle controls (click on enemy and your character starts auto attacking until death.). You steer your character with the W key to move him forward the mouse with right button held down to turn him around (might be a bit sloppy to program to a gamepad if you're like me and program most your games to be played with a dual analogue controller.).
At the beginning of the game you've got different tutor's that train you for different forms of combat like ranged with bow or spells with magic or melee with weapons just like Gothic II.
You learn different battle manuevers and spells which are hot keyed to 1-9 (I'm not sure if you can use them any other way other than clicking icons at the bottom of the screen because this is a bit wonky).
You pick up, equip and trade lots of items that enemies drop if your leveled high enough to use the items (much like Diablo).
