Overall. Controls? Excellent (except the afore-mentioned camera crap). Gameplay? Hilarious at times but fun all the time. Difficulty? Probably could be a little more challenging.

Highly recommend. The camera system is fucking annoying in the extreme but that can't diminish the pure fun this game is for me. Steel yourself to the fact
that you'll be wrestling with the camera the entire game and you'll enjoy the heck out of it. If you haven't downloaded the demo ... do so. Still
haven't finished it myself but enjoying all the fun little things you can do. The control over the minions is actually well done. You call them back and
they actually make a solid effort to get back. As expected, sometimes they'll get caught if they're TOO far away but generally if you can see them ...
they can get to you without too much horsing around. To put it bluntly, the pathing is such that you actually have to be pretty moronic to leave your minions
around 10+ turns for them not to be able to get to you. And, having done it on purpose to test it, sometimes they still find a way to get to you. Either way,
if they do get stuck and you teleport you don't lose them or if you zone into another area they automatically pop up. So, if you do manage to get them
stuck someplace while trying weird stuff ... don't worry ... zone into some cave and you'll have them back. Also, short of just the "attack
anything in my sightline" command there are some pretty cool ways to control them that give you very fine control over where they move and what they do.
You can get extremely picky, or extremely loose with how you move your minions around.

Is this game an RTS or an RPG? What about 2 player/co-op play? Looks kinda cool though, maybe ill pick it up.

There's an online thing, I think. I haven't tried it though.
Its an RPG with some minions you can control. Definately not an RTS. Kinda like an RPG where you can have 30-40 pets all swarming various targets. |

I watched my friend play online, it looks interesting. In the mode he was playing, you and your opponent both start out on opposite ends of a map and gather
up as much power and as many minions as you can, then go head-to-head.

I played the demo at my buddy's. It reminded me a lot of Fable. I'll probably be picking this up when I get my 360 back.

Its pretty fun. The game has a little bit of that Fable feel to it. Over all I'm glad I picked it up. It was either This or The Darkness.
