Talented: connect talents and push back the horde

Talented:Enemies at the crossroads and a kill count
Enemies at the crossroads and a kill count1 / 7

Reviewers enjoy finding combinations in a random talent tree. It suits players who want to experiment with the branches at hand.

What makes it fun

  1. Build from the branches you get

    The changing Talent Tree makes it hard to repeat a previous build. The fun is spotting an ability you want and finding a path through the branches in front of you.

  2. Feel a build turn the tide

    Enemies approach from all four directions, but the fight changes when talents and abilities start working together. It is satisfying to watch those attacks hold swarms at bay.

  3. Each class changes the plan

    Classes have different abilities and ways to fight. Choosing another class changes the kind of build you aim for as you work through its randomized Talent Tree.
