Although we are already in the month of January 2023, it is clear that the wait until June 6 is going to be endless . Fans of Blizzard-developed ARPGs are counting down the hours and minutes until Diablo IV comes to fruition. Although we have good news to give you because if you don’t know Wolcen Lords of Mayhem , get it because you have five months to get the most out of it until the boss of the city arrives.
A veteran who is now a trend
Wolcen Lords of Mayhem is a title that is by no means new. Although we must place its release date in February 2020, in reality we have heard about it much earlier, from when it began its early access phase that managed to convince thousands of players to support it. Not in vain, already at the time the desire for a new Diablo was evident among the gamer community, so it came to satisfy that hunger with some very clear characteristics.
In this Wolcen Lords of Mayhem we are going to play the role of a hero who must make his way through devastated lands corrupted by evil, and which are infested with all kinds of dangers. As in the case of Diablo , we will be able to choose a class (melee, magic or ranged ) and level up by completing the quests that he asks us to do. There is practically no difference at this point in the Blizzard saga, which is why the most fans quickly know how to get the most out of this title from minute one.
What’s more, unlike the Diablo , the character editor allows us to go a step further by choosing hair color, hairstyle, facial beauty, gender of the protagonist, eye colors, etc. In such a way that when we go to the online part we can differentiate ourselves from the rest of the players who are swarming through the common areas.
A unique opportunity
Wolcen Lords of Mayhem has other details that also make it similar to Diablo , such as epic and orchestral music, and a graphic section that drinks directly from Blizzard sources. Enemies, armor, weapons and a good part of the settings themselves inevitably take us back and denote the influence of what we have seen, for example, in the latest installment available, Diablo III .
This, the truth, does not detract from the game that behaves in the gameplay in a very similar way , with a skill tree that teaches us new attacks, an inventory bursting with items, a practically constant use of health potions and a resource that facilitates special attacks. As if it were the mana of any Devil .
Anyway, if he walks like a Devil and looks like a Devil , he should be a Devil . But is not. It owes a lot to it but we quickly realize that it is a development that is a tad below the creations of Blizzard, which lacks that point of genius even in the way of fighting itself, but that it is worth trying as an antidote for that need that is going to assail you to want to satisfy your ARPG hunger until June with something.
And if you now have it discounted on Steam (8.74 euros until January 26), which has made it a trend, well, all the better, right?
