Depths of Peril Review

Gamernode has reviewed the indie action RPG Depths of Peril, giving it a 7.5/10.

But that’s not what you’ll play this game for. (Hopefully.) What Depths of Peril DOES do well is be a unique take on an overworn genre desperately waiting for a Diablo 3 to come along. It has the staple point and click aspect, as well as the mindless hacking through swarms of enemies ranging from one type of orc to a similar looking monster that isn’t an orc to wolf-like creatures, but it’s more than that.

Combined with one of the most simplistic gameplay strategies there is, is a deep strategy game with a heavy reliance on politics and influence. It’s a mix between Diablo and Civilization, and it’s pulled off surprisingly well.
