So I played a full game of DS; and it was fairly good. There were some major quest bugs and frequent crashes but the overall structure was much better than WOTN. Near the end the quests started getting a bit old (a lot of running back and forth and you can't fly on some of the islands that require much back and forth) those would be my critisim but the game is much more RPG than previous games.

Oh one thing that bothered me is a lot of quest would refer to people (go to xyz) but the on map default markers for stores and stuff have building names that did not match up to the person you had to visit so this was also very annoying (as the map is large enough it was quite time consuming in some spots)
-
So while I have my complaints over all I think it is a very good game it is also much harder (even on non impossible) than the previous games.
-
Oh last but least it crash way too much on time back.

That's encouraging - thanks for the run-down. I've only played for about an hour myself, I figured there's no point starting now this close to release, but I noticed a couple of major problems.

1. No map, or rather there's no maps in the dropdown menu and the world map is all clouded over. Intentional for pre-release?

2. Ability cooldowns not working. I started as the demons and I noticed that a couple of the unit's cooldowns weren't working at all, as in I was able to use them turn after turn even though they said 'Cooldown 4' or whatever. I forget the name of the unit, but one was the new fire sprite thingy that has an area attack all around it.

EDIT: Nevermind on both counts. After yesterday's 12mb patch the cooldown problem has gone away (it was for the Fire Elemental) and I've realised that perhaps there's not supposed to be a map for the initial area, which I guess is a unique area depending on your starting class? I started as the other two classes and they have unique starting locations, which is a new idea for a KB game. But now that I've just entered the Catacombs, the map seems to be working again.

I wonder if this is pretty much complete now, as in, can I start playing, huh, huh? I even got my Clot of Darkness

Demons have frenzy now, one of the advantages is cooldown reduction. So probably that's why you were able to use it faster than stated in ability description. Go play the game, maybe you will figure out how to do some of the early battles (3 stacks on whitehill) impossible no loss

EDIT: Halving is absolutely absurd - my summoned cerberus (18units) dealing 10+k dmg.

The full game hasn't unlocked yet. Still no biggie. All we need now is rickah88 to show up and ask for a CD version

Looks like it's out now. Early access stuff has disappeared from Steam and now there's options to buy the standard or premium editions.

And, again, we (Germany) can say "Yes, there is one!".

Does it have completely new world (like Armored Princess had) or just recycled old one (like Warriors of the North)?

Can you still choose humans?

If not then this is a complete fail, as far as I am concerned.

I am an orthodox christian, and I will not play any demons or vampires, not even orcs, and fight the forces of good. No mather that it is just a game. So I think that you lost big percentage of customers. Not everyone is satanist or an atheist, you know...

I will give it a pass. If you make another game, similar to this but with human, dwarf and elf races, than I will buy that game.
