Having come across videos of that new Dragon Age game and its (by the look of it) cool looking combat I’ve gotten the urge for something similar. Action RPG of some kind, being able to rock on as a wizard and blast spells all day. Some tactical element to spell slinging and comboing would be nice.

Love me some recommendations!

    Is it good solo? I don’t have a lot of time for games but this looks like it might be able to scratch my (MMO)RPG itch a bit without being too much of a time sink.

      I enjoyed it solo, though it did become impossibly hard at one point. I don’t know if you need to have friends to help or if I just needed to be better at the game!

        I definitely completed it solo. Finding spell books definitely helps, but just crafting spells with the given elements can be more than enough to muddle through.

        You can give yourself armor to assist in your normal squishy wizard self that definitely helps with the tougher bits.

        What’s important is the combos. There are very powerful combos that render the game very easy.

          What are your combos of choice? I remember having a few good ones committed to memory at the time.

            I had muscle memory, but I think it was QRRASE or something like that then put on weapon. Next time you attack, you cast a row of exploding icicles that put wet status and electrocute your enemies and really slow them down. Almost nothing in the game can resist. It makes the game stupid easy. You kill any boss in a few hits. You can also cast it around you, but it’s way too easy to kill yourself. The combo is hard to pull off the few first time, but once you get the touch, you’re unstoppable.

            Also, cast SAFE on you regularly, easy to remember and its a very strong defense.

            A lot of people use a combination of QFQFASA beam. It’s high damage, but you’re a sitting duck, never liked it.
