Wolcen's skill tree can be reset at anytime for further experimenting. If one wants to be a magic caster that specializes in melee combat, one can do so. Perhaps Wolcen took note of Path of Exile's gigantic skill-tree system, but offered a more condensed version of its non-linear system, creating a system that is more streamlined, yet still far deeper than Diablo 3's.

In other words, no matter what type of character a player initially chooses, whether it be a magic user or melee combatant, Wolcen's characters all utilize the same massive skill tree. Wolcen allows for an archetypal approach to character customization, doing away with the traditional class system by allowing players to use any of the game's skills no matter which class they choose, along with weapons and equipment which take advantage of the chosen skills. In many ways, fans were disappointed with Diablo 3's more linear and streamlined skill and character customization system, especially compared to Diablo 2, and Wolcen clearly pays homage to these sentiments. This should provide players more quality choice within this genre which has become more niche in contemporary times, as players look for newer options beyond Diablo 3, Path of Exileor Grim Dawn, which have stood the test of time thus far.ĭiablo and Wolcen Character Customization RELATED: Diablo 4 Drops Old Feature, But Fans Won't Miss It However, assuming Wolcen will eventually take off in leaving the bugs behind when everything is hopefully fleshed out, there is enough unique differences between Diablo 4 and Wolcen by which they can each stand on their own in this genre.

Make no mistake, as Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem's launch has been mired by bugs and users should still do their homework and know what to expect before deciding whether they want to make the purchase of Wolcen at this early point during launch. Wolcen stands as a uniquely impressive entry into the isometric ARPG hack and slash genre, with exceptionally high graphical quality, great combat that scratches the ARPG itch, and a robust character customization system. While fans wait for Diablo 4, some may be mistaken in viewing Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem as merely a filler to keep them busy until then.
