Really looked forward to this one, only beat level one so far but the controls are a little weird and with no tutorial it was a bit confusing. More imps later when I can play more.

Not going to lie, the presentation is is kind of throwing me off. I like the principle behind all of this, but it just isn't fun for me. I am sure a lot of TA members will love it. Its a pretty simple loot based RPG, not bad, but it doesn't stand out enough to me to want to play it anymore. The trailer showed me enough that I have no desire to go back. These are my opinions and I am positive that many frequent TA members will enjoy it. For me a game has to have at least some style / presentation and game play that is fun enough to want to continue playing in my limited amount of time to game. This isn't cutting it.
Game did ran flawlessly, no bugs, and I didn't notice a lot of battery drainage.
edit - I would look at the spell system less on type and more like RBG color scheme with different effects (piercing, explosive, faster shots)
