Din's Curse Preview

Soldak's Steven Peeler let us know that there's a new preview of Din's Curse up at HonestGamers, and it's quite informative given the fact that it's based on the current beta version of the action RPG.
There's also Roguelike difficulty to Din's Curse, particularly once you advance in levels. Diablo fans will be pleased at the inclusion of a Hardcore mode in which character death is permanent, but Din's Curse can be plenty difficult even without the looming specter of perma-death. At a certain level, mobs begin to throw down some pretty serious damage, and you had better be prepared!

Despite the difficulty, Din's Curse has plenty to offer the casual loot-hound. Gameplay is simple, addictive and solid. Quests react dynamically to player behavior in a multitude of ways to keep you on your toes; there's no sitting around sorting through your inventory while Rome burns or clicking through extensive dialog just to get to the "Accept" button! The game also rewards your attention with simple twists on time-tested formulas that require you to actually read the quest text and pay attention to your surroundings. When an NPC asks you to hurry, you had better hop to the heroics!
