What we like:
  • Nordicandia has vibes similar to Path of Exile and Diablo 3
  • Complex crafting system with surprising amounts of depth
  • Great character customization
  • Cross-platform play
  • Developer is very responsive and listens to player feedback
What could be improved:
  • Pay-to-win monetization with some elements gated behind real money
  • Offline progress is nerfed
  • Penalty for dying is too harsh
  • Near constant need to interact with the game
  • Inventory and stash size are limited
  • Skill mastery affects power in a negative way
