Very good game overall

I completed the game and had a great time. Here are a few observations:

1) I used the middle difficulty where characters deaths are not permanent but the combat are not trivial. I felt my choice was a good one for me.

2) Some characters are much more powerfull than other : Marauders, Shadow warrior, Gray wizard and bright wizard all felt a lot more powerful than troll slayer, ogre, archmage and the other dwarf. Warrior priest is plain useless and I did not try/buy the which hunter.

3) The AI is ok but I would suggest a few minor improvements: For example, Currently if an enemy warrior is adjacent to two of your character it choose randomly what to hit and this even if one of your character have 1 hp left. I would suggest make it a bit smart and go for the kill when it can.

4) The dungeon and battles are balanced and among the various enemies the vampire (especially the lord types) are the more challenging. I felt that I had to think in some fights and this is what make games fun ( to me at least)

5) Equipment is important and spending some time to do quests to improve your gear is a key to success

6) The levelling system is random and even the ability gained at each level are random. This cause two problems : First, it can make your character less usable, for example if your Gray wizard have 4 heals and no offensive spells, its utility will be very low. The second problem is a lot more worse as it can plain destroy your character. For example, should your dwarfs gains the ability "enrage" or "berserk" this actually make them a lot less usable. On levelling, you can shut down the game if you dont like the ability gained but it would be simpler to let the player choose what ability he gains.

7) I bought both expansions, the additional enemies packs and 3 additional classes. This gave me a solid 65 hours of fun game time. I did not buy gold and It did not slowed me to much although some of my characters could not level for a few dungeons. ( Some dungeon reward you more generously so make sure to make a few runs on those to get some coins). I did not buy any gear and did not feel the need for it.

Overall, I give it 4 stars and will buy any expansion they make.
