Andy [Posted on 2007-12-03] This is a Diablo style RPG which ran fine on my system. It is very large, very linear with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of monsters. Monsters are very repititious and you gain very little defeating them. I finished the 1st (of 4) countries, accumulated over 2,000,000 gold and bought NOTHING. The sole merchant sells only what you sold him. In the 20-30 hours to finish this one country I acquired dozens and dozens of the same (useless) items and ONE unique item which itself wasn't very good. All in all a LOT of work for very little gain. If you like to battle monsters for the sake of battle only then this game is for you. If you like to have your character progress and improve in true RPG fashion this is NOT the game for you.
Very Diablo-esque [Posted on 2007-12-19] Firstly, in response to the review by "Andy", if you had bothered to read the manual you would know that the first time through, "Mortal" difficulty, you will not get THAT great of equipment, but on the higher ones you will...It's like Diablo 2 is, you don't get the best stuff to drop in the lower difficulties do you?
Secondly, in response to the review by "B@DRS", I've been installing the patches, including the latest released on Nov 20, and it never asked me for a CD Key.
Thirdly, i would like to say that if you like a Diablo style RPG then this is a game for you...there are lots of weaker enemies, like in Diablo, with a few strong ones. Yes it is a bit of a grind, since you really need to get your level up fast, but what RPG isn't? Final Fantasy is like this, so is Diablo 2, and Neverwinter Nights....
too little gain, bad skills [Posted on 2008-01-07] I have to agree that you fight and fight and fight alot to gain almost nothing in this game. Unlike all other diablo clones I've played it feels like your not accomplishing anything when leveling your character. It makes it feel like work rather than play and when you get to spend skill points hard earned as they are they don't do much... yeah another 1% to damage yippy... Only the mages main skills seem to upgrade decently though still not enough. I found diablo and titan quest way more fun, this lacked so much I didn't play it much before shelving it.
Loki is a Great Game [Posted on 2008-01-17] I myself find none of this game boring at all. You have to begin the second level to start getting the good stuff. As for a CD Key, if you bought it in the U.S you do not need one. Give the game a chance. Go to the Loki Forum for any problems, they help with all of them

Buy something else.. Anything else! [Posted on 2008-03-28] As an avid gamer, I have never found a game I hated until this one. The controls are horible, you can't scroll back enough to see anything until it is almost on top of you, you can't rotate the screen by taking your mouse to the edge of the screen. It is just not user friendly. The online version requires you to setup an account through a german organization that would not allow either of my email accounts (Hotmail or Yahoo) to create an account.
If I could return a game for any of my money, this would be the game.
