I found it to be Diablo with a (then) pretty 3d engine (quake 2 I think), a plot, and less polish.

The major downside I thought was there was theoretically there were a ton of cool abilities you could work with and lots of cool ways to use them, but you never really got a chance to use them all with the frentic real time combat.

Combat was more strategic than Bloodlines though, but Bloodlines is more fun due to more & better story and dialog.

Eh, I'd say if you're into Diablo then it's worth $10. It does Diablo gameplay much MUCH better than Arcanum (and looks about twenty times better).
