The camera didn’t bother me that much. I loved the demo, it’s quite charming. And it’s not another damn shooter so that’s nice.

I was very surprised by this game’s uniqueness. The humor, gameplay, and graphics are very well made. I have had no problems with the camera at all. The auto-camera works just fine. If I wanted to turn around and look into the opposite direction, then I would use the reset camera button on the pad.

Playing the evil side is very refreshing. Letting others do the evil things to keep your hands clean is even more evil . I loved it when my minons obediently delievered me everything they found, rode the sheep, or even sacrified themselves for the sake of my health, mana, or pleasure .

yeah they need to do someting for sure. that is a big turn off right now. i’d rather not sweep my minions if it means having camera control.

Maybe they should use the Dpad to control the minions instead of the tradtionally camera controlled right stick…

Im still digging the game alot though

[quote comment="37403"]well i liked it. but if there is no camera control then FAGETABOUTIT. man it was pretty uncomfortable with no camera control.[/quote]

I just played the entire demo last night…I loved it…..looks to be a VERY interesting game and being evil fighting heros sounds great…along with controling numerous “minions” and re-building your castle/tower. There will also be multiplayer….not sure if its online or not…..doubt it.

Deacon is correct…the make or break it is the camera control…..it is not good right now…..PLEASE fix it….please..please..please

[quote comment="37324"]Is this like an rts? couse i never really got into them…. but from what i hear it sounds ok[/quote]

I don’t know much about the game, but, I assume it is like a Fable style of gameplay and somewhat like Baldurs Gate in that you control a main character (the overlord) and have control of minions (somewhat like Dungeon Master).

Looks to be more of an RPG style of play … does not look like an RTS (Age of Empires, Coloniziation, Warcraft, Rise of Nations)

I believe you can also build a dark tower?!?!? Not sure how in depth that building process is though.

Can’t wait till I get home to try the demo.
