Was thinking of buying it as I heard it's good fun (and cheap to boot), but still have a ton of unplayed/unfinished games (I finally finished DA2, but it's begging to be replayed with a different party & different choices ;)). Might buy it sometime soon anyway, especially if I could play it in co-op with people I know (It's how I first started going online anyway, D2 in co-op).

Just played the demo, lots of fun. Tempted to buy it, but wonder how I'll get on with the difficulty. By the end of the demo the fights were getting tough with lots of knockdowns and stuff, though I got through it ok by developing some tactics such as putting up earth barriers and then blasting arcane-lightning lasers through one part of the wall as the mobs funneled through.

I'm guessing the difficulty for the demo is set pretty low. How does the difficulty ramp up as you play the full game?

The difficulty is balanced between the single player and co-op game, 'cos both use the same campgain, what you fight in single player is also what you fight in 4 player co-op.

Its not a walk in the park, but once you get the hang of it you don't meet anything that feels stupidly hard.

btw, normal attacks only knock you back if they hit you while your wearing a personal shield.

Its a fun game to have a bash at now and then,  "accidenty" frying Sax's brains is always a laugh.

ps. i've you've got it too we can all load it up sometime, will keep an eye out for when we're all on and free

Yeah, he started ressing killing ressing killing ressing killing me until my mate nuked him, mofo!

It is fun, I ahve done levels 5 and 6 co-op but I think it can be done solo, at least that way your not killing each other and I do love aoe attacks mwahaahah!!
