No, not that. This:
I bought this game based solely on the video above. It’s a more cartoon-ish take on the action RPG genre. There’s nothing new from Diablo here: the same four skills, the similar skills panel, the same way to play. Even the pet plays the same as your hirelings in D2, except with the notable exception that the pet has the same inventory size as you, and you can command it to go back to town and sell them all. So if it’s all the same, why buy it?
Simple: it’s damn fun.
It might be a bit slow to pick up though. I started on Normal difficulty, but it was too easy for me, since I’m quite familiar with the genre. So I restarted on Hard and it was just right (aka. died a few times). Of course, it’s not without its misgivings, which I will detail once I have more time through it. Between work and husband duties, game time is in short supply.
