Comment: The first review was written by someone who hadn"t even finished the Tutorial, you really shouldn"t write up a review on a game you haven"t even actually started yet (a few minutes in the Tutorial portion doesn"t count). You also don"t even have to finish the Tutorial, you can skip the whole thing if you want, it"s not a forced thing.
Anyway, the game is alright. There are a number of different character types to play, the males using up close melee weapons and the females using ranged weapons. Any character type can train in spells / skills instead, but you have to spend your stats right to use them effectively.
Your main powers come from your Henches. As you kill monsters, you get Cores which you can turn into Henches or you can mix them together in order to get a much more powerful type of Hench. As you level up more, the Cores drop less off the more powerful monsters, so mixing them becomes much more important (though you can also just buy them from other players).
You control yourself and three Henches all at once and each Hench will randomly have certain abilities that others of the same species do not (some will be more powerful, others higher defense, others use elemental attacks, etc.
The game is pretty and cartoonish looking, and plays with an over the shoulder fixed view. It will run on some lesser systems too (I"ve had it running extremely well on a PIII500 with 384 megs of ram, though it does run much smoother and better as your system increases).
The main web site has most of the information on what mixes into what, taking most of the mystery and discovery out of it if you want to use their charts.
