Soldak is back. Weirder than ever! (Din's legacy)

Off Topic News In Gaming

Who never played a Soldak game? Well shame on you, but the point is : this guy is out with a new title

it’s still in EA and might be quite messy but the idea behind it , mutations, it’s charming. Imagine the usual soldak arpg with weird random stuff going on : town invasions, random encounters, dungeon quests, townsfolk deaths PLUS mutations!!!

Yeah you gain other classes skill, additional effects for your skills, horns, coldskin, thorns. You heard me ? HORNS!

If at this point you are not interested yet go play minecraft!

I loved dins curse, this looks like a huge improvement.

3

Ah, I remember those games.
The presentation was rough but they had some innovative ideas.

4

yeah i think i’m gonna buy this. Give me something arpgesque to play while i wait for FG and occasionally even after fg is released, also : i like to support soldak after all drox operative and din curse gave me great fun back in the days…

5

I bought it as soon as I received the EA release notification. He’s already released a patch to address some bugs that we’ve found.

It’s like a glorious mesh of Din’s Curse and Zombicite…Loving the random mutations. I haven’t used my mutation points yet (you can basically use them to create a custom mutliclass).

edit I own all of Soldak’s games. Multiple copies in some cases (physical and digital, or digital via their site, and Steam). Every game/expansion he releases, I’ll buy.

DC is still my favorite of all his titles, but DL looks like it could potentially steal the title.

6

Better than din curse??? My fav remains drox operative but that would be awesome.

edit : i just bought it and downloading from steam right now.

7

Din’s Curse was decent but the game was mostly Potion Spam Simulator.

8

played few hours even your class skills/basic skills are randomized when you start a new character. I’ve started a hunter with no bow skills lol

9

I never played zombasite - does anyone recommend it? (big fan of DC and Drox)

Also interesting that this new game has a base price of $15 on steam, but the older games are $20

10

Dins legacy is probably a early access price.

Zombasite has a demo you can try. It’s the same thing as dins curse, everything is almost exactly the same. Skills, sounds, event system, etc.

11

Still no dual wield??

12

Yeah’ this was asked many times, he says it gets dw implementation gets difficult when it comes to coding. Torch have been added to pair with 1handers.

13

I’m digging the randomness of the game. Ran into a major slowdown int he latest patch - too many AoE spells going off at once. Made it challenging to survive 5 minutes…

It seems each patch, my save game changes (though my equipment stays the same). If it gets too crazy, I just end up starting a new world.

14

i just noticed there are more specialization than in zombasite (even with expansion)

15

I hope Crate doesn’t mind me answering stuff here. I will start off by saying I’m a fan of Crate and Grim Dawn. :slight_smile:

It is an Early Access price. It will slowly rise up to the normal $20 as we get closer to full release.

No, but it’s much more likely now. In previous games there were several things that were difficult or it would be very disruptive if added. Most of those are no longer issues with Din’s Legacy.

Do you remember off hand what AoE spells were going off?

The first 2 patches did shift the world generation stuff, hopefully that will become more and more rare as alpha/beta progresses.

There are a few completely new specialties and several new collection specialties (the specialty is new, but the skills all already existed - ex. Summoner).

Hey Steven :slight_smile: I will look at my spells tonight and will hit you up over on the Soldak Forums (I’m Caldazar there).

I hope you don’t think I was griping/whining about the game over here, by the by, I am really enjoying it! I mutated my Assassin with… Sorcerer I think - makes for a very fun combination :slight_smile:

17

Not at all.
