Darkstone: Beat Diablo 2 to the Punch.

by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 08 '00
Pros: Gameplay, smoothness of the game, movies, little things.
Cons: Graphics a bit lacking, feels a lot like Diablo.
As I perused the stack of video games I had been given to review, I formulated a mental queue. There were some really big games, so those came first, and at the back of the line, there was Darkstone. A game that in my mind, wasn’t something I’d expected...

Pros: It is a great game Lots of functions Nice Graphics
Cons: Repetitive music (but it's okay) Average Sound Effects Diablo Clone (OMG)
The age of Diablo was beginning to pass when a new game with similar attitudes pop up in our presence. Aye, it’s DarkStone, and what needs mentioning about this game? Read on and see!

Diabl....I mean Darkstone

by MiteyAce , Feb 17 '00
Pros: Good graphics, rotating camera, five character classes, many quests
Cons: requires a pretty fast system for good speed at all times, the first version was very buggy.
Well let me start off by saying this, if you like Diablo, you will like Darkstone. Darkstone is a very good game, but was released too early. Darkstone's firest version is very buggy so you will need to download the update if you want to rid yourself...

The Magnificent Darkstone

by ChoadKing , Jan 29 '01
Pros: Lots of items and things for your characters to equip.
Cons: Excessive mouse clicking.
Well, as far as Diablo and Darkstone being twins, I wouldn’t know. Personally, I’ve never played Diablo, or Diablo 2. I have played Darkstone though, and quite extensively I might add.

Darkstone is a real-time strategy game in which you...

Darkstone isINCREDIBLE

by Joo , Jan 15 '00
Pros: Very exciting GAMEPLAY
Cons: MULTIPLAYER is a mess
Darkstone is one of the few games I actually sat and played for years. Darkstone has an incredible 3d engine; the whole game is nicely textured 3d. The game consists on two levels, underground and above ground. An expansion...

Darkstone vs Diablo 2?

by Forsaken , Aug 08 '00
Pros: Random maps and quests, wonderful magic weapons and armor, ability for blacksmith to "upgrade" weapons and armor, ability to download new quests!
Cons: high system requirements, ocassional lag, some minor bugs
Darkstone wins, hands down. I believe Darkstone to be a much better game than Diablo 2. Lets break the two down and compare...we have Gameplay, Graphics, Sound, and Replayability to consider. I'll go step-by-step.

Gameplay
Granted,...

The Return of the RPG

by jatznic , Mar 27 '00
Pros: Great interface and control, superb story line
Cons: Considered a Diablo Clone by many.
Let’s face it. Over the last few years, true RPG games have just about vanished from the shelves. With the advent of the last two years of this millenium, 1999 and 2000, the genre has made an incredible comeback. It all started when Blizzard released...

Darkstone: Intermission between Diablo and Diablo 2

by Kyrn88 , Dec 18 '99
Pros: Visual Graphics, Small Quests
Cons: Class Selection/Skills/Overall Difficulty
Everyone I know is waiting for Diablo 2 to release. At least there's a game that will hold us off until then. Darkstone is "very" similar to Diablo and if you weren't too careful, you would say it was an exact twin. At first, I thought...

Diabl..er...Darkstone

by EssenceofEvil , Feb 17 '00
Pros: great graphics
Cons: too dark,hard to find some items when on the ground
First things first,it is Diablo with a appetite. Why do I say this? You have to feed your characters. Which,unlike most CRPG gamers,I am not a big fan of. The game looks great. When I first played it I was using a old Diamond viper V330,which is to say...

Twin brother of Diablo!?

by Kenchiw , Sep 28 '99
Pros: 3D graphic
Cons: clone of Diablo, unfinished graphic somewhere
This game is just a clone of Diablo, with unpolished 3D graphic. Usually, I don't like to compare two games, but I got no choice in this case with Darkstone. The game just uses the same basic game structure, the same view of the action(except 3D), the...

Darkstone: Diablo on the outside, Monster on the inside

by ernestyee , Feb 01 '00
Pros: You'll have less cash
Cons: It's terrible to trade something for nothing
Wow. Words cannot do this game justice. No words can describe the experience that you'll receive when you immerse yourself in this game. That is because there are no words that can describe the lack of detail and horrendousness that is Darkstone.

Diablo's Clone?

by blacktemple , Jan 26 '00
Pros: I like it much
Cons: Buy It because it's a very good game
The first thing you'll think upon loading Darkstone is that it looks almost exactly (in structure at least) like Diablo. And to be perfectly honest, the similarity is more than just skin deep. Take Two can be forgiven for having such a similar look and...

RPG'ers take notice!

by StarPrime , Dec 13 '99
Pros: Graphics, Sound, Interface, Storyline
Cons: Needs an Autosave
Darkstone has brought RPG'ers a new feeling to an old theme. Taken from Diablo, as many others have said, Both Diablo and RPG lovers will play this game with the same intensity and won't want to leave their seats for a break.

The minimum...

Diablo's brother from another mother

by Kaiser-7 , Nov 27 '99
Pros: Like Diablo
Cons: Not enough like Diablo
I know this game is like Diablo, too bad the enemies are not as hard as Diablo. The object of the game is to go around dungeons until you find the crystals and kick the bosses butt. Not exactly an original concept but hey this game ain't so...
