When the likes of Torchlight and even Deathspank are offering the crawler experience for a fraction of Dungeon Siege’s price, you need to wonder what the incentive is to lighten your wallet. But the trade-off is a level of craftsmanship. Dungeon Siege 3 is noticeably pricier – it currently edges around the £30 mark – but it’s a modernised take on dungeon crawling that brings a few new ideas to the series.

I recommend Dungeon Siege III to anyone who wants to connect with friends and kill a whole mess of monsters together. Thanks to the strong AI, even the single-player campaign is worth a look if you can’t wrangle up a party. It’s one of the best hack-and-slash options out there for consoles, and it’s no slouch on the PC front, either.

The move to consoles means that Obsidian has had to move away from the traditional dungeon-crawling approach of the previous games – click on an enemy’s head until it dies – and so this is very much more an action-orientated affair. So, you’ll have dodge rolls, and can flip instantly between three combat stances here.

Dungeon Siege III most certainly isn’t for everybody. Many gamers expect their role-playing games to be far more involving than this one, especially in recent years. Obsidian, however, went with an unapologetic throwback to simpler hack n’ slash dungeon crawlers, and created a good little adventure because of it. It’s certainly more straightforward than most RPGs these days, but I don’t think the gameplay ultimately suffered because of it.

If it wasn’t for the enjoyment to be had from in co-op Dungeon Siege 3 would be looking at a lower score. More variety, more depth and more personality would have helped things greatly and elevated it beyond the decidedly average experience that it is.
