The game’s loot system encourages deep customization, with items such as “Abbadon the Soul Crusher” and “Bloodletter” providing significant gameplay variations. Additionally, special events featuring D&D-like attribute rolls can have lasting effects on characters, adding layers of strategy and unpredictability.
