As for the gameplay mechanics, it's different from normal conventions in that there's no spell tree; weapons have built-in spells, so you have to use a specific weapon to use a specific spell. The skill tree is done via Hero cards, which is an interesting twist. I'll have to play more to see if it works out in the end.
