I was in the beta a while, and tbh... I didnt like Spellborn. Thats more a personal matter. The stylized graphics were totally not to my liking, and the entire system was not my thing either. I can imagine some ppl really might love it. Maybe 6 is a bit too harsh, though. But Spellborn will divide people. Some will love it, many will hate it, based more on taste. Ok my beta was half a year ago, dunno what changed or what is still bugged, but the game itself is... very different.
Also Gbase is more a kiddo oriented team, more for the hyper hyper generation, anyways. Anything not like WOW and TF2 gets -2 anyway.
EDIT: After reading the entire review I must say it does sound bad tho. A pity, once I had hoped it would be good, but now... I kinda guess the game will close in about a year, if what they say is true.
