The game bombards you with upgrade materials in dozens of quality levels, in tradable and soul-bound form and in fragments, stackable up to 30 pieces. As the game progresses, you are pushed more and more towards the in-game shop. The battles play passably, the progress comes rapidly in the beginning. This is intentional, the developers want your money after all. The game starts out easy as pie, everything dies after one or two hits, but the difficulty level gradually rises to brutal heights. Those who always found this too complicated might enjoy Undecember”s system. This allows for some build variety without preset classes and is less overwhelmingly structured like in Path of Exile. (The story has some cutscenes where Undecember can”t deny its smartphone roots.)
#Path of exile skills plus#
The first tutorial enemy dutifully drops a sword, a bow and a wand, a short time later there are three active skills for combat, then a few upgrades that you link to that skill (more speed, damage effect, elemental damage and so on), similar to Path of Exile, only not tied to equipment sockets.Īs you level up, you now distribute points to Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence, which among other things affects what equipment you can wear, plus there are passive points that you can use to increase things like melee and spell damage or the power of summoned Minions. The entire game takes up a modest seven gigabytes on your computer, many enemies are correspondingly low in polygon, the audio quality of the voice output is weak and the predominantly brown landscapes look quite nice here and there, but do not have particularly detailed textures. Undecember starts off with a few quite nice cutscenes and a confusedly translated story. It”s a smartphone game with a Steam port, real-money auction house and built-in rootkit.Īt the beginning everything is still quite nice However, it doesn”t get much more positive than that here. You don”t suffer any permanent damage while playing. To be fair, Undecember is not as brazen as Diablo Immortal or as unplayable as some user tests make it out to be. After all, even Blizzard lent a helping hand with Diablo Immortal – and things don”t look much better with Diablo 4. And how high the hurdle that new hack & slays have to jump.īut it is also proof that developers no longer know any shame when it comes to Free2Play and ingame shops. The questionable success of Undecember impressively shows how great the desire is for a new action role-playing game à la Diablo. The action role-playing game is not yet an alternative, as our disillusioned tester reveals.Ĥ5,000 people on Steam are currently playing a game that less than half (41 percent) would recommend. Yay: Undecember is not quite as greedy as Diablo Immortal.
