Gaming Retrospective - Loki
Loki is an ARPG released in 2007. and was made by Cyanide Studio. This game will remind you of Titan's Quest because of the ancient Gods game theme. Main villain god in this game is Seth, an Egyptian god that decided he needs to be in charge of everything in existence and has sent his forces to conquer the world, no Gods can stop him, but you the mighty warrior blessed by the gods can. You will travel the world and kick Seth's ass and discover some other possible plots.
There are 4 main classes to pick from and every class has the skills based on their mythology. Those classes are Greek Fighter, Egyptian Sorcerer, Aztec Shaman and Norse Warrior. Every class adds great replayability to the game. Itemization is based on standard Hack And Slash games where you kill throngs of monsters that as the game progresses drop stronger loot for you to kill them more effectively. One problem that I had with this game is repeatable level patterns, almost every dungeon had the same tileset. Even though the game had great character system, that copy paste environments are the main capital sin for any ARPG. If you want to grind the game there needs to be some randomization to the level design. For that fact this game, even though it had some great potential it failed as an ARPG.
