The trade off is that they get 30% of their physical damage done returned as MP, which means that they have a synergy in playstyle that the LK *should* have. It has relatively low HP/MP, not-great physical damage, and the empowered spells, while awesome, are also expensive as hell. It's a long road to get max MP, and with no way to replenish HP or MP natively (that is, without armor or runes), what you end up getting is mostly empty bars that don't do much for you, because you'll never find enough chicken legs or potions hidden in chairs and chandelliers to make up for that before you die uncerimoniously.Ĭonversely, the Spellsword is everything the LK is supposed to be.

So, therefore, what is the purpose of a special ability, that appears to be the foundation for the class itself, when it doesn't seem to have any real strategic use? In fact, using it can be more of a detriment than a boon, in that using it drops you down to a dangerously low amount of HP to, again, siphon max HP from kills. What all of this means, is that by the time you can fully max both your HP and MP, at least one of three things will be true:ġ) You will have cleared through most of the game, leaving relatively few rooms left with which to use this massive HP/MP on.Ģ) You will have already taken damage/used spells, meaning that those large HP/MP pools will be at least partly, if not mostly, empty.ģ) You'll be dead long before you get to either point. The more time it takes to max out your HP, the longer it takes for you to max out your MP, not even taking into account that your MP pool will be getting steadily larger as well. Therefore, the farther you get into the game, the more time it takes for you to max out your HP. The amount of max HP you gain never changes.

You start with very low HP, gain max HP through kills, then you convert that max HP into max MP, continuing until you, theoretically, turn your pittling LK into a walking tank with the biggest MP pool in the game. Yeah, I don't know what is up with this class, either, to be honest.Īll of the other class abilities are used either to further magnify with their strengths (Hokage/Spelunker), help negate their weaknesses (BK/Paladin), become a core mechanic of the playstyle itself (AM/Spellsword), or a mixture of all three (Assassin). Spellsword - Empowered Spell for super-duper (and super-duper expensive) spell damage.ĭragon. Spelunker - Light for better sight in Land of Darkness, and perma-vision for all chests in the castle for better, well, spelunking. Hokage - Teleport/Log for extra mobility and clutch survivability when they can't outrun damage. Paladin - Shield/Tanuki Suit, trading off MP for temporarily invincibility.īarbarian King - Knockback to compensate for BK's super slow movement/killing speed.Īrchmage - Spell-swap and Time Stop to better utilize the AM's massive MP pool.Īssassin - Stealth for, well, stealthing. All of the other classes have very straight forward specials that define their gameplay: Thus far, the only class that doesn't seem to make much sense to me is the Lich King. However, I've unlocked what appear to be all classes and class upgrades. Big Picture ready.Let me preface this by saying that I haven't beaten the game yet. Got a controller? Play with a controller.Tons of secrets and easter eggs to uncover.Or gain new abilities like flight, dash, and air jumping. Equip your heroes with powerful weaponry and armor.Oh yeah, there's a Blacksmith and an Enchantress shop but we forgot to show them in the trailer.
