Loki Preview

The guys at Hooked Gamers let us know that they've written up a quick preview of Cyanide Studios' upcoming action RPG, Loki.
The interface has been kept fairly modest and accessible and should be familiar to anyone who has played RPGs before. The chosen third-person perspective works well for the hack&slash genre and while the perspective is set, you can rotate and zoom the camera freely. Weapons and armor affect what your character looks like and at times your character can look so fierce that it is hard to believe he is the good guy. Good! A Diablo-like skill tree (It is rather strange that nearly 10 years after the game was released, we are -still- comparing new games to Diablo) helps you form your character. The available skills depends mostly on what God you chose to worship as it is that God that grants you your powers. Loot shows up on little bags on the floor so that things don't get cluttered and dropped items are easy to find.
