Got it, installed it, played it.
It reminds me more of Dungeon Siege which I played (and the DS2 Demo) than Diablo or D2. In fact, I believe it uses it's engine.
That to me is a huge drawback.
Combat is sluggish. Action is way too fast-paced. I do not mean that it made things too difficult, no. I mean that things just go by too quickly with no time to get engrossed into the game. You just run through and kill things by clicking your mouse all over a mob group. No precision, no real skill involved, just click click click.
I liked it in the first 5 minutes, but got bored of this type of gaming by the time I reached the end of the demo. It is not horrible, just not worth it, IMO.
If the full game is on par with the Demo, I'll give it a 5-6 on a 1-10 scale.
As far as it being Diablo's successor or cousin.... I'd compare it to a semi-retarded half-cousin, Izzy Slapowitz..... well, maybe not as bad, but definately like a Diablo's neighbor's kid.
At least they had a demo, which was thoughtful and saved me $50 and much disappointment.
