Don't buy, but ok to rent for points

3 out of 5 starsScore: 60/100

The good: Satisfying hack and slash, well designed magic system, the game doesn’t feel broken

The bad: Bad voice acting, below average graphics, difficulty settings which all seem about the same, short length, fixed camera, lack of side kick self-preservation

The ugly: Dreadful cut scenes, the lack of a compelling story

Overall: This hack and slash game is ok if you enjoy the genre like I do. The magic system is well designed and adds a lot to the gameplay. It is very repetitive and short lived, so even if you like this game, it is not worth the purchase price to own it. The worst part of the game is the lack of a compelling story (generic hero, mentor/side kick character, and villain). What I can’t understand is if the source material is this bad, why would anyone bother making a movie and a game about it?
