Beyond your weapons, you can also deploy a series of entrenchments to help you in battle. Depending on your loadout you’ll have access to as many as four different turrets, each mapped to a separate direction on the d-pad. Once you’ve selected the one you want the left bumper brings up a crosshair to choose where you’d like it dropped. The right bumper turns on a magnet to gather scrap.

The game’s characters are all easily distinguishable from one another, and while not every item you equip changes your appearance, there are different families of items so by no means does every weapon or shield look the same. Magical effects course through empowered items, and one-of-a-kind items carry unique looks for some impressive results. Things tend to get hectic in combat, but the game’s frame rate never dipped even as spell effects and sword clashes filled the screen.
