setting and writing are a+++ combat is mediocre but bearable mechanics are kind of crap. graphics are what you'd expect (engine rudimentary, some nice art).

dense in ideas like good dying earth is meant to be. some things from the first five hours:

(1) The first thing yo usee walking into the city is a method of execution whereby all of the wrongs and evil someone has done are extracted from their psyche over several days into a living creature which then kills the person and dissipates. A cannibal cult that gets knowledge from eating people then devours the corpse to give details of the wrongdoing

(2) Of my companions so far, one is a woman who accidentally put herself in contact with thousands of different copies of her in the multiverse, some who made the same mistake she did, some of whom are plotting to kill the others for accidentally putting them in contact

(3) Another is an idiot like the Tick who has three voices in his head driving him to do random acts of 'heroism' to keep from any time of self-reflection. He has some kind of nanotech aura around him protecting him from his own stupidity.

(4) The first city uses a militia where it builds the police by taking a year of each citizen's life to make it into a construct. If the year they took is bad (say, they die violently in the year that was taken) the construct is mentally damaged

(5) A mutant in the poor area has some kind of mutation that causes tattoo type lines to appear. He found an augment that maps areas he discovers as he discovers them, making it so his entire body is covered in maps; it has some kind of narcotic effect so he does it as his life purpose.

(6) A guy from a warrior race who had some kind of slave interdimensional whale that connected them all psychically and they drifted throughout time/dimensions conquering new civilisations until they hosed with your dad in game and he killed all of them but one who he bound to one time and forced to be peaceful and answer any question put to him

good stuff. i have been pretty happy with the revival of the isometric rpg subgenre.

Sounds good because im gay and i like stupid poo poo /sarcasm

ugh. after finishing torment i bought wasteland 2 on sale from gog. i'm enjoying it but my god, it has a core of good stuff wrapped in several layers of tedium and packaged in ugly 2003 graphics.
