Dawnspire review - PC
Silent Grove’s “team-based online action” point-and-click RPG seems to have been largely ignored by any sort of hype machine at all. More than a little worrying for an online-only title which ultimately relies upon the presence of a strong and active community. At first, things seem perfectly normal. You create your account, choose your class from the usual mage/warrior/healer/rogue types, pick your skills and spells, and finally name your character. However, things begin to get more than a little broken when you join a server for your first game, and realise that the vast majority of your team mates (and the opposition for that matter) are in fact AI controlled bots. As a result, Dawnspire becomes less of a Player Vs Player affair and more of a tedious online bot-match. If you’re looking for some great multiplayer battles, you’re going to have to convince your friends to pick up a copy of the game.
