In all, the class felt very balanced and fit well with the present character class roles. Calling holy lightning down from the sky or even leaping into the heavens only to crash down on your enemies shortens the distance between you and your foes. All of these attacks work well for close range, but the Crusader is also capable of reaching out and crushing your foes. These laws embolden the warrior, increasing his damage as well as those around him, or emanating a healing aura in his just cause. The Crusader also has “Laws” that they follow in their role as a holy warrior. This power, when augmented with a rune, turns the horse into an offensive weapon, spreading fire behind him to immolate your foes. When pressed by the enemy he can use something called “Steed Charge” causing a horse to appear underneath him and carrying him to safety. He can also consecrate the ground healing everyone in the area. He uses flails and a shield for close-range battle, bashing enemies with righteous fury. The Crusader’s role is a bit of a mixture. Malathael has unleashed revenants and reapers into the world, but how they are breaching our plane is yet unknown. We start at the edge of town, battling through the besieged landscape to reach the Zakarum Cathedral. We join our heroes as the town of Westmarch is being sieged by an army of the undead. This demo opens after the events of Diablo III putting both of our characters at level 33, so if you’ve not beaten Diablo III go do that and come back, we’ll wait. My wife and I tackled the PlayStation 4 demo as a pair, her playing a Wizard as I took the new Crusader class into the field. We went hands-on with both the PlayStation 4 and PC version of the game. That said, it was a welcome announcement as the original title has been one that my wife and I have played through multiple times now, enjoying every second. I’ll admit that I was a bit surprised when I saw the announcement of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – I didn’t expect to see a reveal until…well, today.
