What is combat like in this game?

I found some gameplay videos, but it's not clear - do you just click on target and the character(s) kill it automatically, or do you have to use skills and such?

Quite similar to Diablo.

Left mouse button to move and autoattack, right mouse button for disciplines (vampire version of magic).

There is a lot of RNG and you will miss an awful lot. You can have fights where both idiots just stand there and miss repeatedly.

combat is bit boring in this game. it was criticised for that even back in the day.

also, sword is the best weapon of all times. ;P

Thanks! And how is the game in terms of difficulty?

Combat is diablo style dice rolls so even though you swing, it might still register as a miss. Camera is free and not fixed.

Difficulty I would say it's a little tricky often because your AI partners aren't too bright. Older games tend to be like that. Not super unforgiving but you can't expect much success if you rush in to plow through mobs... or expect your AI allies to NOT use their spells and drain all your resources.

Game is absurdly hard. The first boss will own you nonstop unless you play cheap (or smart, however you wanna call it). The final boss I only ever beat thanks to a glitch. Halfway through the first part of the game you'll get demolished unless you micro the hell outta your team. The game throws nonstop curveballs that make you change how you played 100%.

Game is pretty easy with items like ainkurn sword and disciplines like prison of ice , call lightning, immolate , fire storm , theft of vitae and becomes very interesting.

"..and becomes very easy" I would say :)

Plays like Diablo. lol. Not at all. I guess point and click is similar. Combat is somewhat strategic. pause game and give everyone commands. kind of like Balders gate and such. Combat can be hard. I remember doing tons of play threws. last boss is a B.

Just in case anyone decides to play this in this day and age - like poster before me, do not trust "its like Diablo" comments.
It absolutely is not.

There's a section in the game which has enough enemies and no health, that you will not get through unless you approach combat strategically.

Flanking matter. Backstabbing matters even more.
Enemy might see one of your units, get aggro and charge - and STILL be surprised with backstab from another party member.
