Not so impressed, very underwhelming so far...

Uh, the graphics look VERY close to Fable 1, which is to say they lack a real next gen punch and lack an original style. Other than that, I didn't get the gameplay at all.

Great Video. The HD feed is just great, i wouldn't go as far as saying its flawless but im guessing with the D pad you control WHOM and how MANY minions to send on the task. Graphics look great minus some lighting, and placeholder animations. but then again it could all be implemented before the game is released.

Game has typical fantasy setting, no complaints there.

Wait and see i suppose.

doesn't look too bad, I really wanna give it a try and see how it plays first hand.

Reminds me of an Oddworld game with all the portals and getting minions to do your work. Not as much weird chanting obviously.

I can't think of anything positive to say about this game.

The graphics are disappointing to say at least, I mean, look at the "last gen fog" surrounding the area's to cover up for the lack of draw distance.
It looks just like you're walking through corridors with some outdoor enviroments painted on the walls.

Gameplay looks very boring, then again, it's just a small segment shown here so it's not entirely fair to judge the game on the basis of this short gameplay vid, but so far it's not looking very promising, imo.

It reminds me a lot of that PS3 launch game "Dark kingdom"...
