[quote name='Jesse_Dylan']REPOSTED from the deals thread:
Some thoughts on Numen, which I played for 30-60 minutes.
You can't invert the mouselook. This would be a game-breaker on an FPS, but it's not a big deal here (still annoys me tho).
No manual?? How the hell do I figure out how to save the game without a manual? The tutorial keeps saying to see the manual. Yeah, well, I don't have one, and that pisses me off. Maybe I have to hunt for it, but it's not available via right-clicking on the game in Steam.
According to the Duke, you can save at special spots. I can't figure out where/how, though, without the manual.
Definitely MMO combat. The seem to want to wire you into either fighter, mage or ranger. There's nothing stopping you from doing all three, but then I'd imagine your menu bar gets cluttered fast. I was using all three. Start with a disabling bow shot, hit with fireballs til it's in front of me, then hack with my dagger.
Now, after all that bitchin'. If you like RPGs, I think you'd enjoy it for some janky fun and goofy writing. Is it a good game? No. It's definitely entertaining, though. I like it. If you are one of those RPG-lovers who has to have everything that doesn't suck like I am, I think you'd enjoy it. (It's no Witcher, obviously, but I don't think anyone was expecting it to be.)
I'm having a good time. Would sure like to figure out how to save, though, and it would be nice to get some strategy as to what skills to shoot for and how to organize them on my messy menu bar.
Nothing beats the fun of slogging through a dungeon and finding a treasure at the end, playing dress-up with equipment, all that silly stuff. I really like RPGs.
I don't think I'd pay more than $10 for it though.

$7.50 is okay. $5 would be good. Dunno what the retail price is, but if it's $30 or so, uh, yeah, that's kinda hefty.
A few more thoughts: Don't buy it for the graphics or sound. Bad character models, weak environments. Narrator makes my ears bleed. Again, other than all that...

I actually like it.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the review.
apparently from reading some other reviews, you save (and only save) at campfires.
I thought about getting it, but I already own titan quest and thought it was somewhat "meh" the whole time I was playing it, so looking at it, thought it was pretty much titan quest 2.0...and while greek methology is kind of cool, it just seems generic to me these days...the video trailer on the steam store page for the game didn't help either (how will you die? ooooooh) but, according to one of the reviews, it was made by only 15 people, so I have to give them credit for releasing a somewhat decent game in comparison to what today's usual dev team for games consists of.
