If you're an action RPG fan looking to try something new to pass the time, The Chosen offers old fashioned hack n' slash / spellcasting entertainment. At $20 The Chosen basically offers value over substance.

The core gameplay is a blast - loads of monsters to kill, fun and effective spells and weapons, and you can see your effectiveness increasing as you increase in level. If you look at The Chosen as a very linear game filled with some nice, mindless hack 'n' slash fun then this will almost certainly be the case for you too.

There's a feasible amount of material here to zone out on, and some pretty paintings to walk through. Especially as you approach one of the Wells of Souls, and the thickening horde numbers deepen into the triple digits, your mind and your mouse can enter a zen-like plane of point-and-click existence.

Rebelmind did a nice job in varying the locations you explore and the enemies you face to keep the combat interesting. Some enemies can turn invisible, some are rooted in the ground, some can resurrect fallen comrades, some lie in wait and try to ambush you, and others are weak but cast nasty spells. That means you have to pay attention to what you’re fighting, and you have to adjust your tactics to the situation. You can’t just run forward and kill everything that gets in your way (like in, say, Dungeon Siege II).

Overall, The Chosen: Well of Souls is a new generation's Diablo II. Literally. It's Diablo II with spruced up graphics. Sure they ditched the cutscenes, but they kept the essence of the game that matters. I fear rating the game as an equal to Diablo II, for fear of the diehard fans out there...but I'm one too...and honestly...it's good enough to be the heir to Diablo II...for now.

In my opinion, there simply aren't enough games like Diablo. One may come out every few years, but for fans of the genre there simply aren't enough. The Chosen: Well of Souls does a decent job of giving hack-n-slash fans what they want in a game.

Although The Chosen is priced as a budget game (retailing for approximately $20), many of its gameplay aspects are far from budget. The first thing players will notice is that although the majority of the gameplay is pure hack and slash, there is a good variety between the types of weapons and armor.

The Chosen would definitely stand as a worthy successor to Rebelmind Games' RPG and adventure game line up. Thus, it becomes an ample contribution to Rebelmind's momentum in role-playing games.

General game play is great, replay value is great, the monsters stay plentiful and the rewards for killing them are likewise plentiful. I had a blast running through game and I felt that it got its point across as to what it’s supposed to be: a true "hack n slash adventure".

The Chosen is a fun-filled frolic through a world of zombies, werewolves, swords, magic, miniguns, revolvers, and shields. Once you've had your fun running through a few levels with a six-shooter in one hand and a buckler in another, you might find yourself wondering how a game you had possibly never heard of before could be so satisfying. So go out and give The Chosen a try.

The Chosen tells the tale of a power-hungry sorcerer that becomes immortal by killing off the protectors of an ancient magic and bending it to his will. He then kills off all who can challenge him and enslaves their souls to do his bidding.

From what I saw of the game, the combat is tougher than what you might expect, so you have to pay more attention to what you’re doing, and Rebelmind did a nice job in mixing up the enemies and environments you encounter, so the game stays fresh.
