This puts it on my radar but I'm truly skeptical of how well it will be balanced for this mode. I'm of the opinion that it takes a great deal more forethought to balance a game's systems for turn-based than it does real time or real time w/ pause.

Glad to see it - I tried the demo and didn't like the real-time at all. When playing MM6-8 I almost always went to turn based for combat (unless I really outleveled what I was fighting).

Diablo?!?

You know what they say every PC game is inspired by Blizzard/Diablo.

I kid it's not true but the similarities are there.
