IndianNoob has reviewed the action RPG Din's Legacy:
Din's Legacy Review (PC) :: Pure ChaosMore information.
I'm glad we live in a time where there's relatively no shortage of ARPGs. Dial the clock back 10 years and you had a lot fewer options. You'd be hard-pressed to find people talking about anything other than Diablo; maybe Sacred or Torchlight here and there. Nowadays, you have some really good alternatives such as Path of Exile, Grim Dawn and Torchlight 2 headlining the genre. One can also head over to steam to find a plethora of indie ventures guaranteeing ample amounts of hack, slash and loot. Din's Legacy is one such indie ARPG that grabbed my attention last year while it was in early access. Fast forward to 2019 and I couldn't pass up on the offer to review Din's Legacy. With the prospect of acquiring loot, loot and more loot, I ventured into Din's Legacy blind. Here's me explaining if you should do the same.

VERDICT
Din's Legacy is a very unique, deep and unforgiving experience. It's hard to find an ARPG that offers the level of nuanced gameplay Din's Legacy does. That being said, it's hard to recommend Din's Legacy for the general ARPG playerbase. The level of randomness in the world and the clunkiness in the gameplay might be enough to turn players away from Din's Legacy. It's made with a particular niche in mind and thus can be hard to appreciate for people unfamiliar with Soldak games. But It's never too late to join them, especially since there's a free demo you can try to make up your mind (better than this review ever will). Everything said and done, I had a good time with Din's Legacy. Then again, I'm a sucker for RPGs that are rough around the edges.
Score: 7/10

I played some soldak's games and this is one of the best -if not the best- that i can remember.
It's the dream of every arpg lover, lot of options, you keep playing and your character goes in weird directions, had a build in mind but might change it a lil bit because of a neat mutation/skill/combo i had no idea of. Combo mechanic also very well tought.
It's awesome but i read reviews around the web that are tiepid and i feel like nice ideas and brave design decisions have not the recognition they would deserve. They all apparently want to play the same old song with few variations.
