« The most unfair poorly balanced game I've ever played. They keep making new titles and adding new "features" which are just complete reworks of systems that already work fine, instead of balancing the game so it's not punishing. »

« Loved Rift Wizard 2 but Rift Wizard 3 feels too different from it. Instead of having skills you craft items from components. Also usable items have been removed from the maps. Can't recommend this version of the game. »

« Don't get me wrong, the core game is solid, but I cannot recommend it right now. The balance is too restrictive: if you play with your own builds instead of sticking to meta setups, good luck get past lvl10(or less). »
