chezybezy: like Leroux im trying to work out what might be interesting for me and those same games im hmm over;
been looking at a few videos of SIEGE OF INAOLIA and it seems it is just wave fighting? but the write up seems to indicate its not, anyone any ideas?
e: Whoops just realise they were all playing survivle mode wernt they?! - dur!
That's because the game is still in development and Survival Mode is currently the only play mode available. The menu also has a Story Mode with the label "Coming Soon". I've played a bit of the Survival mode and didn't think it was much fun. You walk around (slowly) using WASD, press Shift for Running, LMB for swinging your sword, you fight of waves of enemies, get skill points after leveling up which you can invest e.g. in special strikes but I haven't figured out yet how to use them. Basic combat just seems to be hitting LMB and dodging with WASD. Turning around by 180 degree didn't work very smoothly, if at all, which probably made the controls the greatest challenge of it all.
Keep in mind, those are just my first impressions that I got by playing about 5 minutes, so it's not exactly fair, but personally I still think I've seen enough for now. I know it's just a small indie game, but so far I've found nothing that makes it stand out in any way so that I could imagine playing this instead of Orcs Must Die, Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur etc. Then again, it's basically a very early demo only, so who knows how it will evolve, and luckily I only paid $0.25 for it. :P
