Any of you junkie ARPG'ers playing this? Early Access on Steam..Seems to mix Diablo 3 with Path of Exile. Purchased it and played a bit. Just don't know enough to make an educated review...Heard its running on same engine as Titan quest...?!

I watched a couple streams of it a while ago. Got the same impression as you -- very Diablo-ish. I'll probably check it out once it has a release date set. Let me know how you like it.

Wanted to play it a year ago. Just been waiting to actually see more about the game before investing any time right now.

Picked this up today and played for a little bit -- up to level 10. Not bad. I see what you mean about it being a lot like PoE. Definitely has a similar graphical feel to it. I think I need to research some builds for it.

umm I watched both the video from a year ago and this one

I was totally pumped after the first video how it was looking way back then ( 2013 ) then I watched this

I probably wont spend the money just to have a little tiny unique experience when I still love PoE =S like Kripp said when a company virtually changes nothing in more then a years time says something about the content dev's and what to expect ( or not to expect ) over time.

As of Dec 23, this game is finally content complete. They're still polishing things up for a ~Feb official release.

I fired it back up and have been really enjoying it. Played it for over 20 hours the last couple days, and I'd guess I'm about 60% of the way through the game. Graphics seem a lot better than I last remember, but maybe it's just b/c I'm now playing it on a 3k monitor.

It definitely feels like a good compromise between D3 and PoE. It's a mix class-based character system (you can basically dual-class) with lots of interesting types of builds that aren't completely dependent on gear like D3, but not nearly as overwhelming as PoE. Feels well worth the $25 imo.

Final build of "pre-release" (build 31) was launched today, and the game is now officially released.

Lots of big enhancements and updates:
