In the actual game, however, it looks great. The only real graphical compromise that stood out was how some details washed out in the zoomed-in character screens.

It remained rock solid in four-person local co-op, too, even as we filled the screen with my necromancer’s herd of skeletons, a witch doctor’s army, and a crusader’s barrage of spectral hammers.
