It seems cool, and it's got some ideas. I swung a hammer around, and it's got a vertical swing, so it essentially just started digging. I did it a few times and then dropped into a dungeon that I didn't know was there. The UI and onboarding are rough, as to be expected, and I wish I could see what they're cooking further down the skill tree, but there are some good bones there.

Just like Last Epoch (before the dlc drama), I'm hopeful for a success.

Would prefer not to get a pop up every 20 minutes for their kickstarter but it does seem like they have a solid foundation to work from

As long as they keep doing it until someone finally gets it right, I think its fine

We already had Grim Dawn. Not former D2 devs but easily as good as a D2 spiritual successor could be

Torchlight and Torchlight II were great. It's a good thing they stopped there and never made a third.

We already had Diablo 2. So there's no reason to keep going then, right?
