Loki Demo

A playable English single-player demo for Loki is now available, offering a sample of Cyanide Studios hack 'n slash RPG. Word is: "In this 991 MB demo, players will jump into the blood-soaked boots of the Norse Warrior, one of the four characters available in the full game. The Norse Warrior is the toughest and most brutal character in the game, and prefers to deal death with two-handed weapons - including his trademark battle axe. As part of the demo campaign, players will have to collect elements needed to defeat Fenrir the legendary giant wolf and will also be able to level their character up to a max of 20 -- which means several hours of hack 'n slash fun for those who will want to explore the skill tree of the Scandinavian hero (200 is the maximum level you can reach in the game). In order to do this, players will face hundreds of enemies, wild beasts and other dangerous creatures that live in Myllkwoord forest, in the volcano and in the dungeons of the goblin city." The download can be found on 3D Downloads, ComputerGames.ro, FileFront, FileShack, Gameguru Mania, Gamer's Hell, and GameSpot (registration required).

What's wrong with the uninstall?

That was the best part of the game. Uninstalling it.

Thanks for the useful comments. I see a headline and say, "buh? hack? slash? RPG? Hmmmmmm... interesting. What do comments say?"

Unfinished? Starforce? Thanks for saving me some time.

Bite me, Cyanide Studios. Not even going to bother looking at screenshots, considering your use of shitware like starforce.

I watched the video trailers of gameplayus and they looked nice. Is it really not like them?

What's wrong with the uninstall? I won't be able to see it until weekend due to lack of free time during work days.

This game isn't quite polished enough to warrant a demo. It needs ALOT more work.

For one, I hate when characters look like they're walking on ice. The blood effects, however were pretty cool. And I did have a good time with the uninstall. That was fun!!

Diablo it is not and never will it be.

Loki is the God of Mischief and so is Starforce. Separated at birth? Only Odin knows.

Hehe, Loki!

What a terrible, terrible game! I have to agree with IMSabbel. Please, even if this game would ship without Starforce ... for the sake of your wallet, STAY AWAY from this POS! Do not even pirate it. Just ignore it, please!

2. Worst Purchase i ever did... Aug 9, 2007, 14:00 IMSabbel
 
Loki did just everything wrong they could do.
I dont even mean the bad performance, or the bad balancing, or the bugfest.

They implemented oblivion-like level-scaling in a diablo like game. Combine with HUGE levels with only 1-2 types of enemies in them (some times the same types in several levels after each other), and it creates a problem.

The thing is: For example, you will ALWAYS need 2 hits to kill enemy type A. If you level up, he will get more HP. And just the same, every 5 levels, the same items will drop with more damage/armor. And not in the diablo way, but really the same dog will drop a dagger with 1-6 damage, if your level is higher (and those the dog stronger) 6-10, 11-16, ..... 56-60...
They advertice 28 different weapon materials on the package, but to be honest, i didnt expect this to work that way..


Finding magical items is senseless, because you get like 1-5 fire damage, meaning after the next level up the next dog you will kill will drop something better.

Last but not least, the skills are utterly worthless, which causes most of the game to be a standard attack klickfest. And yeah, with the last patch i still played, getting NOT HIT by an enemy attack caused the "auto-hit while holding mouse-botton" to stop.
And the shiftkey (like in diablo) worked only every other time for the archeress..

To sum up, if you want to play a game where you can level up 5 level while doing nothing but killing the same archer and the same dog 800 times, just to have them get stronger again everytime to kill any sense of accomplishment, thats your game.
