Seal of Evil

This one was a bit of a disappointment for me. I remember having fond feelings of the first game, but absolutely unforgivably bad tech issues. This game hasn't crashed once for me... yet... I'm not enjoying it. (And according to other reviews, it's probably as crashy as the original and I'm just lucky) I described the first as Chinese Balders gate crossed with Diablo. This version kindof reverses that formula. Where I felt like I was exploring the world and fighting some in the original... I feel that I'm fighting lots of mobs and rarely RPG'ing here. It may just be a really slow start... but dang... it's a SLOOOW start. In Seal of Evil, you take on the role of the Chieftain for Baiyue village.
