I had already pre-ordered this game before the demo came out and I am glad I did. I really like the demo and can't wait to play the full version when I get it.
I have played Diablo in the past and enjoyed it but I didn't get Diablo 3 as my computer specs are nowhere near what is needed. This game seems very similar and is portable too . I am looking forward to trying the online play.
From someone who has played through the game quite a few times now, It is a repetitive game after awhile, but that's due to it being a hack n' slash hunt for loot nature of the game. Online voice chat makes improves this experience a lot. The storyline is ok and while it is cliche in parts it does get the job done and ends the game built up ready for a sequel, so don't expect an epic final fantasy tale. If your wanting a game like that you will probably want to pick up 'Tales of Abyss' instead. The game is incredibly fun though and the amount of loot makes your characters as unique as you want them to be. From someone who grew up playing the 'Guantlet' game all the time in the arcades this game is perfect for me.
For those on the fence, its a perferct portable game...fast, fun and easy to pick up and play however its shallow. Online features are good and is one of the best online games on the 3DS... if your looking for the next final fantasy, then this isnt for you. It isnt an epic RPG where you are going to spend hours, days, weeks trying to progress to the next part of the story with a deep interweaving storyline... the 3DS already has that (tales of abyss).
So I hope that helps those that enjoyed the demo but were still unsure about buying the game.

The best thing about this is the fact since there are so few bought by stores, it's at a reduced price. My EB Games got a mere ONE copy but it was marked down by $20.
One this I hate about the game,is that it gets so boring,so quickly.
I kinda wish I never brought it,and got Theatrhythm instead.

Latest Review: Star Wars Battlefront Beta
Please add me as I need more friends.
This is not the game I had hoped for. After so many delays for inexplicable reasons, my mood to get it has been knocked down a lot. I'lm going to have to skip it. Will be getting Torchlight 2 instead. Diablo 3 disappointed me as well. Hope Runic Games delivers.
I've played the Beta, isn't too hard on normal but I heard that it's grueling on elite.
I haven't played this in ages, why? Because it's just far too shallow, there just isn't enough content in the game to keep you playing. Once you've gone through the story there isn't much else to do except play around with the other characters.
I wasn't very impressed with the demo either. One drawback I think for me was I didn't much care for either the Vindicator or the Gunslinger as playable characters. I really want to try the Alchitect but don't think I will be picking this game up anytime soon.
@Nintenbro: I would try the demo first you never know you just might like the demo enough to get the full game. I was on the fence about getting this game before I played the demo but now after I played it I will be picking it up sometime. If you like dungeon crawler lootfest games like Diablo than this game is right up your alley. If you are looking for a complex RPG like Final Fantasy pass this one up than.

Never played again since my 2nd playthrough. No need to loot for better items, if the game itself is that easy. The difficulty level just let me fall alseep. And I dont understand why it is compared to Diablo. Diablo at least is still a pleasure to play, even today. Each item makes your character stronger and mightier. This game is nearby a 1-3hit-kill thing on every enemy, regardless if you got a new item or not. An easy walkthrough for casual gamers. After that they cometo the internet and wantto tell you, what a great game HoR is. lol.
I feel so disappointed by this software. Even the challenges are just boring, because of the difficulty level. I really hope for a patch, bc the game isnt bad at all, but in its current state its not an 8/10 either. 5/10 imo. compared to diablo 3/10.
Alchitect is an iffy class. Her charge attack would be outstanding but it takes two seconds to get to max range. Arcane Bolts are pretty much her just spell at max ugrades due to homing and multi-hits. It would be Solar Beam but it takes an eternity to charge and wases Energy QUICKLY. I haven't played the Savage.
For those of you thinking it's too easy, try playing the game putting one point each into Soul, Might and Vigor; it makes a huge difference with improving the difficulty.
Well i tried the demo a couple of days ago:
I like the fact that it is playable online and it has voice chat.Also the characters can be edited which is nice.
I also liked that the playable characters actually speak,i don't really see that often.
But overall the game was just repetitive and i don't normally judge a game by it's graphics,but wow that has to be one of the worse looking 3DS game i have ever seen.
Not trying to be a hater or anything,but it's definitely not for me.
Can you join games with friends and If you can, Anyone wanna add my code and play online? Also, It is considered by me THE World Of Warcraft of the 3ds.

So i finally got around to playing the demo because i couldn't be bothered. Shame on me for listening to some of te negative comments. I rather quite enjoyed the demo. It was both fun and i actually thought it looked good. That was just the single player and not even online. Im quite looking forward to this game now next week. I just wish it didnt come out in Europe so soon. Seems like everyone overseas is done with this game now!
