Depths of Peril - Preview @ Jolt

Jolt has kicked up a preview of Soldak's Depths of Peril:

Hopefully with the growing community that is surrounding this game they can get a buzz going that will lead to some deserved success when Depths of Peril launches, as it quite clearly deserves at least to get a fair crack of the whip amongst all the other less ambitious Diablo rip offs that have emerged over recent years. At least this time they are trying to do something different and making it slightly more interesting than merely a hack and slash collect-em-up. That said, Depths of Peril isn’t highly unique, but what it does, it does from a slightly different angle, and the addition of political intrigue has done it no harm at all.

More information.

While I find this interesting, the crap floating over everyone's heads gets *really* distracted - especially in that one combat scene in the preview …

I didn't find it so in practice. Those shots are from raids, which you only spend a very limited time doing. When you are adventuring, you don't really get that.

Oh - this was the one you got to play … thanks for clearing that up!

Yeah, those are the covenant icons so you can see who is in what covenant. Like Dhruin said though, you are usually only going to see that many of those at once during raids.
