Not sure its really a challenger to Diablo and Path of Exile, it looks like a mod to Terraria almost, sort of similar looking and UI etc

He already did with Marvel Heroes, which was actually pretty successful.

Does it have controller support ? It's not listed so I presume no ?

it does, but you have to turn it on in the ilb_config.txt file, currently has it turned off as he's not entirely happy with it. i use kb + m though so cant comment on it myself.

I still don't know what happened there, I played it since release until it got taken over by another studio and completely ruined. I wonder why they sold up shop when the game was at it's peak...

DB wants to add multiplayer but the game needs to do well enough to fund the 6-12 months it'll take him to add it. he also has other features he wants to add too like skill trees that he started before release, which didnt make it in as a 'deal' fell through which would have helped fund him in Early Access a bit longer.

Gazillion didn't ruin MH, they just tried pulling it in the wrong direction and the player base dropped off. Then the game closed because their license expired and they couldn't afford to renew it.

a big update (ironically 30mb) has dropped for this adding loads of new content. also 50% off on steam at the moment too, bargain.
