If you spin the clocks back to GDC (which feels like ages ago even though it totally wasn’t), we actually had our pepperoni-greased hands all over Gamevil’s Dark Avenger which is due out this evening at 11:00 PM Eastern, or potentially way earlier if you’re in Europe or Asia. We took some extensive hands-on video of the game, which still feels representative of the release version of the game:
In a nutshell, Dark Avenger is another crack at a mobile version of Diablo. They were beaten to the App Store by Gameloft’s recently released Dungeon Hunter 4 (Free) and I’m super curious to see which will end up being the champion of this proverbial dungeon crawling cage match.
Impressions on our forums generally seem to be positive, although multiple members have mentioned that the game feels a little flat. That echoes my experiences as well, although admittedly I’m very curious to see if/when the game opens up at all to anything more than mindless monster mashing.
