Has anyone ever played this game before? Would you please share your thoughts on this game? I plan on getting this game as I am fond of those top-down perspective video games in the vein of Fallouts, Arcanum, Planescape Torment, Torchlight and other Diablos. Thanks for sharing your views on the issue guys.

Thanks for posting those links here Barry_Woodward. Voted.

I tried PS3 demo and it didn't convince me to play it. Fallout and Planescape were solid RPGs full of stories and skills. This seems to be more in line with Diablos except it's a platformer (e.g. shoot arrows into the wall, climb it and move with a big ball to avoid auto-fired arrows). You also spend time collecting some diamonds and killing things. I didn't notice any skill tree. I see that Steam offers demo too. Wanna try?

Important note: I'm not into pre-TR9 games.

It is best played in co-op with a friend. It is fun, it has interesting mechanics and doesn't overstay its welcome with them.

Quick note: The game is designed to be played with a gamepad, and there's a bug in the game that makes it unplayable with a lot of 360 controllers (including the official one, from what I hear, as well as the Logitech F510 and Saitek P3200). Down-left movement doesn't work.
