It's growing on me! by Mischief Maker 02/25/2017, 6:35am PST
Looks like they're following in the footsteps of previous action-first RPG Nox by having leveling up be about unlocking mechanics instead of boosting your stats. Costumes are the equivalent of classes in this game and the default costume is the least interesting, based around pulling your ass out of the fire when things go badly (but I guess that was the point since you're supposed to be learning the new weapons and spells as you go). But by the time I stated to unlock more advanced costumes I had enough weapons, stat cards, and spells saved up (unlimited inventory space!) to really have fun with my build.

This game certainly addresses your complaint about respeccing in Grim Dawn as you can start the level as a hammer-wielding tank, mid level open your inventory and equip the top hat and a tome and now you're a wizard, then switch to the kung lao costume with a sword and now you're a rogue.

I also like how there's a different timing combination for each weapon to maximize their efficiency that vaguely reminds me of Sanctuary RPG. It helps to prevent combat from turning into the LMB-holding drudgery it usually devolves into in more "proper" ARPGs.
