The demo video for this game looks great (don't watch it embedded in the page, download it) - I'm impressed to see the fluid level of action, and there's going to be a VGA version, hopefully optimized for the Intel 2700G. :mrgreen: The game looks like it was heavily influenced by Diablo - in fact, at the very end of the video clip there's a quote that should bring a smile to the face of anyone who's played Diablo before. ;-) If you pre-order if you can save 20% off the normal price and get a "free mystery game".
