I looked into Din's Curse after reading some reviews of it. The novelties it brings - randomized worlds, dynamic events, time-sensitive quests - are all extremely interesting and full of exciting potential. Unfortunately, the game never rises to meet said potential. After playing through two and a half towns I feel as though I've more or less gotten the idea.

Go to a town, win and fail some quests, occasionally have to rush back to town to defend an attack... rinse and repeat.

If the dynamic events were held together by something even resembling a storyline, or some more interesting characters, this game would probably be nothing short of incredible. But as it stands - it's just another bare-bones Action RPG clickfest with a few interesting features that are borderline gimmicks.

If you know you love Action RPGs then by all means, check this one out. It's certainly not bad insofar as the genre goes. But if you were hoping, like me, for a new take on what has long ago become a worn-out genre, then think again: at best, Din's Curse can be an interesting experiment in which you can invest a couple of hours, but nothing more.

Exactly, rinse and repeat, don't understand why it is so high scored? Everything randomized, no story, achievements are horror.
