Heroes of Ruin

[Eleven19]

No thread for this and its coming out in less than a month? Boo.

Being hailed as a Diablo-esque experience for the 3DS. Looks like fun, has online capability.

Demo is out now on 3DS eShop. Messed around briefly, pretty easy to get the hang of the gameplay.

I hate to say it, but it looks a lot like a watered-down Torchlight (even the classes) on handheld. The handheld part might be what makes it worth getting, but it just looks really chunky and I am hoping that is just what happens when you slow down footage from a device like a 3DS.

A 3DS game with actual online play and integrated voice chat through the system's built in mic? Is this real?

They had a demo at Pax East, which I umm.. didn't play in favor of their other offerings. The game was touting the multiplayer as the main thing, not sure if it is local play only or you can play off your friends list which is why I hesitated. This is a very big deal considering Nintendo hasn't bothered to do any of that with their games yet.

Either it will be awesome because they spent 90% of their time on multiplayer, or it will suck because Nintendo hasn't done it yet.

It does say "Team up Online or through Local Multiplayer", So I'm a little excited. I mean, people saying its a watered down ARPG(Torchlight), But at the same time, I'm going to give the Demo a run through.
