Comment: Path of Exile is a MMORPG currently in closed BETA testing. You start off as a ship-wreck survivor in the land of Wraeclast, with nothing more than a weapon you find on the beach. For a BETA, there is quite a bit you can do and they have created a temporary perpetual end-game level called “Maelstrom of Chaos” to keep people around who finish all of the quests.The publisher, Grinding Gear Games (out of New Zealand), have brought many new innovative aspects to the game with the use of “Flasks” that you use to heal life/mana, which recharge from killing the monsters you encounter. Also, they have a MASSIVE skill tree, which is the same for all classes, the only difference is where you start on the tree. This allows for a completely customizable characters and endless hybridization potential. The random item generator provides an endless possibility of weapons and items to use.
The greatest aspect of PoE is that it is a free download and free to play. There will be an cash shop, however, the plan is to only sell aesthetic based items, so it will not be a pay-to-win. (my favorite part!)
The Bottom line:
Graphics: excellent (warning: high system requirements)
Gameplay: excellent (hack n slash, point n click)
Storyline: limited (c’mon, it’s closed beta…)
Crafting: good
Community: excellent
PvP: not implemented yet
Best part: Free-to-play!! (wow!!)
If you liked D2 as much as I did, you must check this out.
You can sign up for a free beta key giveaway on their website, check it out! Highly recommended 9/10. |
Hack and slash rpg aiming to be the new diablo but with f2p model.I finished whole campaign.
Game is solid but I got bored of it easy. I prefer diablo 3 and Marvel Heroes over it.
Game reminds me of Titan Quest….I always wanted to play Titan Quest online but it never worked for some reason…This game is awesome if you like mmorpgs where you control main character with mouse and graphics are one of the best you will find….Items and skills are so good you will find this game very addictive…Recomend it for sure
Free RPG game,similiar to diablo serial,but I think diablo is better.Diablo has better story,PoE is more focused on only playing,not on story.NPC’s are better in PoE.In PoE you can better customize your character,but still,i was enjoying more by playing Diablo 🙂
Very good free to play RPG video game,it has interesting gameplay and graphic is solid I suggest this game everybody
An action RPG game that anybody will like to play. This game has decent graphics but it may be a little bad compared to Diablo 3 but nonetheless being free and filled with action and mayhem this game will surely attract of ARPG lovers out there. I give this game a 3.5/5
Very fun free rpg game. the graphics are pretty nice graphics as well the inside gaming mechanics. It has all things for what a typical rpg needs, such as grinding for gear and playing with others. Overall a good game to play 🙂
It looks like Diablo for me. Another RPG which is pretty neat. It’s not actually dull. Plus its free. I woulf recommend this game to anyone.
Surprising plot twists and such. Good adventures and such c:
This is awesome
8/10
Thuuumbs uppy~
One of the best free to play games out there!!! The developers continuously update the game and fix problems and the offers they make to players (buying costumes and stuff) are really one of a kind deals!! (the costumes you can get go rare and never come out again!!). For players that enjoyed Diablo its the perfect game as its developers were in the team (or the team) that made Diablo.. The game has many different classes to choose and a whole SKILL TREE in which you can go whichever way you want!!! So characters are unique in a way!! I give it a 4/5..
Game is good with lots of amazing features that arent in some mmorpg game the graphics are kinda bad imo but still 4/5
If you like Diablo, You’ll like this game way more, So much more customizations with your character builds. Definately a challenging game as well.
Path of Exile is an impressive hack and slash action RPG. This game has an amazing story; you’re the character exiled to the dreaded continent Wraeclast and you learn more about this continent, its inhabitants, and the High Templars as you progress through the game. The gameplay is very much similar to Diablo II, and the game does well with letting the player create unique character builds, especially the passive skill tree. Overall, I’d give this game a 4.75/5.
