Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone Preview

TeamXbox has dished up a hands-on preview of Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, based upon an early build of Stormfront Studios' adventure RPG. An excerpt, as usual:
Demon Stone plays very similarly to The Two Towers with melee attacks and a block performed via the face buttons. Attacks can be linked to pull off major damage and additional combos and weapons can be purchased at the end of each level. Rannek, being a fighter, obviously uses more brute force in his attacks with large, sweeping strikes with his sword, while Illius can cast long range fireballs and chained lighting attacks as he grows stronger. We can see that Zhai will be a popular character for those fans of stealth action games. She can become temporarily invisible by stepping into a shadow, allowing for sneak attacks. You are awarded experience points for battling each enemy and are scored on kills, team experience, and team gold; kills being the only individual category. Weapons and armor can be purchased with gold while leveling up your characters is all done through earned experience points. Stormfront structured the gameplay as it did so that newbies can enjoy the basic premise by simply hacking and slashing their way through, but then there are layers upon layers that advanced gamers can really sink their teeth into.
