As the Cybernetic God Baldur, players are thrust into the midst of an ongoing battle that threatens the existence of mankind. An ancient machine presence has forced the God's hand. In the first of a three part trilogy, Baldur is charged with defending mankind from an onslaught of monstrous war machines bent on eradication of human life. Players are treated to a nonstop barrage of action powered by the seamless integration of melee and ranged firearms combat. Battles unfold in awesome scale as players engage in spectacular battles with vast numbers of enemies.
This game is great in the first few hours, but when you finally figure out that the game is super repetitive and the mobs keep getting stronger when you level up... you just think it's pointless.
The thousands of gear items that all feel and look the same didn't help either. I spent half the game sorting items in my inventory.
A Diablo-esque game that really should have copied more of Diablo's gameplay.
Awesome concept and story but it fell short in so many ways when it came to gameplay. Still worth having a play through for the story though.
Hopefully Silicone Knights will give it an overhaul for the next two in the trilogy since both the concept and characters are great.
If you are a fan of WoW in the sense that you can get a variety of weapons and armor, and socket them to have different attributes - this game is for you!
The storyline itself is a little blah - it's similar to that of God Of War; a guy is out for revenge for the death of his loved one.
Once you complete the game, like others, you can simply start the story over again with monsters at a higher level, better gear drops, etc.
I played 7 hours straight on my first sitting!
So I finally got to play this game, and it looks pretty good. Nothing bad to say about graphics. Though the gameplay was kinda annoying. I don't know if I was playing it wrong or just sucking at it, but I died all the time, you never seemed to get more powerful then the enemies. At that, every time you died you had to wait for that angel to pick you up and place you down again, took forever and you could not skip. Over all the game was easy, because it was unlimited life basically. It was fun.
