I liked the first, though it had some issues. Hopefully the sequel is a bit more polished.

I didn't enjoy it. I think it's because when I sweep, the horde stays too close to a small dot, and secondly, I don't like the camera perspective. It feels too close.

The demo or the first game?

I loved the first one, though I never beat it. I'll have to download this after work.

I sort of agree with the horde moving in too focused a group, but I didn't find any problems with the camera. I was able to pull back a decent amount. also, minions riding wolves = awesome. Definitely looking forward to this, but I'll probably pick it up after a while. Still have about half of the first one to get through.

Played through it and it was good fun. Although I could have sworn close up the graphics looked worse than OL1.

Gets a big "Meh" from me. I enjoyed OL, but other than the wolf riding, there was nothing in the demo that suggested it was anything but more of the same. I would have thought they would take the opportunity to show fans of the original what flashy new stuff they could expect.

I liked the first game but didn't finish it. The final level(s) were just too frustrating, and a big departure in both level design and difficulty compared to the rest. It was a lot of fun until that point though, so I'm hoping the sequel is better in that regard.

That video is amusingly bizarre!

Meh. It felt exactly like the demo for the first game, only this time in the snow instead of in a fantasy countryside. Kinda fun for the short demo but not something I'd want to really play for extended periods of time. Certainly not for a 10+ hour game.
